I love Charleston! Who’s with me?! I mean, what’s not to love, right? This place has it all, Architecture, history, the most incredible food and flavors, one-of-a-kind shopping, gardens, and beaches! King street never disappoints, and Charleston, hands down, is the best place for house walking, stalking, and gawking. If you like old houses and the stories they tell, then Charleston is for you. Have you ever been? What are some of your favorite places? We have so many, that it’s hard to narrow down, but I’ll share in my stories.

Not only does the city have it all, but it also has one of the prettiest colleges I’ve ever visited. Yup, you guessed, we’re on the college quest this year, and Charleston is at the top of the list for my oldest. The thought of having a reason to visit over and over again is exciting. Maybe I’ll be able to hit the Fall Tour of Houses, the Holiday Festival of Lights, or the Wine and Food Festival. There are so many options, be sure to visit @explorecharleston to plan your trip. Charleston is a bucket list destination. trust me, you will not be disappointed!

City Farmhouse was created in 2011 with the intention of crafting a creative career while balancing life as a stay-at-home mom. The goal was to build a resourceful platform to inspire other home enthusiasts to embrace the idea that a loving home takes time to bloom. What I didn’t expect was the flood of incredible opportunities with well-known brands and magazines that came along with it. As a designer, style expert, and photographer, I learned skills that I could have never learned in a classroom. The cherry on top was meeting the most supportive group of creative women.
