Mortgage rates have taken us on quite a ride🎢 —from the soaring levels of the 1970s to the shockingly low rates of the early 2000s and the pandemic era. Now, we’re seeing a steady shift as we embrace a new normal. Monthly affordability keeping you from making a move? Let’s chat options you qualify for that could ease those monthly payments.

🏡 𝐂𝐋𝐎𝐒𝐄𝐃! 🎉 1942 Oak Tree Ln is officially off the market! 𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲? How my buyer found their perfect home: This home went under contract in just 3 days, but the first buyer had a change of heart. I knew its location and price point were unbeatable, so I offered to host an Open House for the listing agent—knowing it would attract interested buyers. That day, 𝗜 𝗺𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻-𝘁𝗼-𝗯𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Trying to predict interest rates is like trying to predict the weather six months from now—impossible. The reality? The rates we’re seeing now are likely sticking around for this year’s selling season. If you’re a buyer “waiting out rates”, here’s why that strategy might cost you: ✅ If rates go down → You can refinance later. ✅ If rates stay the same → You’ve secured your home and built equity. ✅ If rates go up → You’ll be glad you locked in today’s rate! Meanwhile, home prices aren’t expected to drop, and in many areas, they’re still rising. So, waiting could mean paying more for the same house later. 💡 The takeaway? The best time to buy is when you find a home that fits your needs and budget - let’s make a plan together.💪🏻

When buying a home, you want it to be just right—and while we absolutely want to avoid major issues, it’s important to remember that every inspection report can look overwhelming at first. 🔑The key? Understanding what truly matters. Some repairs are quick fixes, while others require a specialist to further evaluate and repair if necessary. That’s why it’s essential to review the report with a trusted inspector to distinguish between routine maintenance and serious concerns. A home inspection is about making an informed decision—not creating a perfect home. Let’s make sure you’re confident in your next move! #HomeBuyingTips #RealEstateAdvice #HomeInspection #lowcountryliving #charlestonrealtor #realestateagent #mountpleasantrealestate #homeowner #savannahgeorgia #savannahrealestate #savannahrealtor

I am often asked where to head to in Charleston for some cocktails and a laid back experience …Citrus Club at The Dewberry is always my first suggestion. Perched beside historic Marion Square, The Dewberry is a Charleston icon, seamlessly blending Southern charm with modern luxury.

The heartbeat of this elevated retreat is Citrus Club; a whimsical rooftop bar serving up vibrant, citrus-infused cocktails and fresh, light bites. With an atmosphere as refreshing as its menu, this rooftop oasis operates on a first-come, first-served basis—making every visit a coveted experience. Check it out and let me know what you think!

If you spend a weekend house-hunting in Charleston or strolling the streets of Savannah, you’ll likely notice that many of the houses have one thing in common: a sky-blue porch ceiling. While the practice is widespread across much of the South and even beyond, the tradition of painting porch ceilings light blue began with the Gullah Geechee communities of coastal SC and GA. These descendants of Central and West African enslaved people painted their doors, window frames, shutters, and porch ceilings blue as a means of protection. They believed that the color would act as a repellant for “haints,” or spirits of the dead, who might try to enter their homes. But if you’re not one for believing in haints, you may still want to paint your porch a lovely light blue for a more practical reason: some say that the color prevents wasps from building nests. 🐝 Follow for more of everything home!🏡

In 2024, a significant 25% of homes sold were not listed on public platforms like Zillow, giving buyers an even bigger need for a Realtor to discover off-market opportunities.  * 𝑯𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒆𝒏 𝑯𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒔:
A substantial portion of homes were scooped up before even appearing online, highlighting the importance of having an agent who can tap into local networks. 
 * 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒘𝒍𝒆𝒅𝒈𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝑲𝒆𝒚:
Buyers relying solely on online listings like Zillow risk missing out on potential deals and prime properties.

3 things to prepare to buy your first home🏡 💰Talk with a lender to know where you stand financially NOW. That way, you can save any additional funds or make final changes to your financial situation before it’s time to offer on a property. 📍Get on an MLS search and start exploring housing options. You do NOT want to be just starting to look at what’s available when you need to buy. You should already know what locations and styles you like before you start seeing homes. 📇Talk with a Realtor (🙋🏼‍♀️) to understand the market conditions for the time period in which you plan to buy in 2025. How competitive is it? How long will your search take? What do you need to prepare for? These are important conversations to have BEFORE you dive into the process. Clients who prepare in ADVANCE always have the best experience when it comes down to actually making a move! If you are thinking that 2025 may be the year you buy your first home, let’s make it happen: DM today and we can chat more about your plans to move and what you need to do to prep (for free-just a friendly conversation!) #lowcountryliving #realestate #homeowner #charleston #savannah #charlestonrealtor #savannahrealtor ’s

𝑩𝒖𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒉𝒊𝒍𝒆 𝒘𝒆𝒅𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈…take it from me, 𝐈𝐓 𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐁𝐄 𝐃𝐎𝐍𝐄! Sean and I moved into our first home just 24 days before our wedding. While that time period somehow feels like forever ago and yesterday at the same time - we remember how it felt. These years are filled with love, excitement, nerves and no doubt a bit of pressure, but it’s important to know you’re not in this alone. Here are a few tips to take both dreams and turn them into your reality: 1.𝐒𝐞𝐭 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫: Sit down and decide what matters most to you both. Whether it’s a wedding you’ll remember forever or the home where you’ll build your future, be on the same page. Balance doesn’t mean compromising — it’s about creating space for both. 2.𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: You don’t need to choose one dream over the other. With a shared, mindful budget, you’ll find ways to save without sacrificing your happiness. Celebrate the small wins together, from wedding savings to those first down payment dollars! 3.𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫: Check in on your goals, both wedding and home, TOGETHER. Celebrate the small milestones — whether it’s finalizing a wedding venue or reaching a savings target for the down payment. 4.𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲: The earlier you get a sense of your financial standing, the better. Sit down with a mortgage lender to put a plan in place for buying your first home. 5.𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐫 (𝐌𝐄!) 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠: Meeting with a realtor (like me!) can give you a clearer picture of the housing market and what’s realistic for your budget. 🏡💍BOTH of these milestones are possible at the same time…You just need a good plan.

If I could hold the hand of everyone going through the first time home jitters in this market, I would. I know the best I can do is help my own nervy clients get through it, but in effort to help as many of you out there as possible - here are my top tips: 1. Charleston is REALLY big. When most clients first start their search, they think they know where they want to look for homes, BUT can end up falling in love with another part of town they hadn’t explored. 📍Spend time exploring areas of Charleston before officially starting your home search. 2. “Stale listings” or homes that have been on the market a few weeks can be an incredible opportunity to get a deal - but don’t lowball anyone. ✨Shiny and new doesn’t always mean “better” when it comes to houses. The perfect home for YOU may not be perfect for others - don’t doubt it if the home isn’t swept up right away. 3. Paint and small fixtures can go a looooong way. 💅🏼Paint and fixtures can be changed. Don’t let that scare you away. If you are planning to buy your first home in the next year or so... hi, l’m Ashley! Let’s connect via DM and chat more about your plans to move and what you can do to prepare. (no pressure conversation of course) Your dreamhome can ACTUALLY become a reality - Send me a DM and let’s get started

Most realtors will tell you we could ask the seller to reduce the price of a $300,000 home by $10,000 - getting the property at $290,000 sounds pretty good right? 👎🏼This will save you at most $78 per month. If we are negotiating that $10,000 credit, I’d advise asking the seller to buy down your interest rate. 👍🏼That same $10,000 will now save you $248 a month. Follow me for more tips like this one🤍

If I had a nickel for every time someone underestimated me because I looked younger… Experience isn’t just about years—it’s about staying active and informed.

“The best time to buy real estate was five years ago.” Ray Brown, Real Estate Investor

If you were waiting for interest rates to drop below 6% - you may be waiting for a while and watching from the sidelines as home prices increase. Here’s some perspective: 📈 the average rate over the past 50 years (from 1971-2023) is 7.74%. 📉if you had waited in 1980 for rates to drop below 6%, you would have waited 20 years. Meanwhile, home prices quadrupled. Reports show that National home prices increase by 3.6% annually. In comparison - home prices in Charleston increase by 7.8% each year, by 6.5% in Savannah. If you have your finances in order and simply holding out for a deal? You may have missed your chance already. As the saying goes… “Don’t wait to buy real estate, buy real estate and wait.” Will Rogers

The NAR settlement has caused a few questions surrounding who pays for what and when. Here are the basics: 👩‍⚖️What to know about the NAR settlement: The main purpose of the settlement was to create more transparency about real estate commissions; what they are and who is paying for them. 📝Buyer Agency Contract: As part of the settlement, NAR agreed to impose a law that requires licensed real estate agents to have a signed Buyer Agency Contract with their Buyer clients prior to representing them in ANY way. This includes showing properties. Our state has always been a Buyer Agency state, requiring this paperwork for representation. (timing of when you see it may just be sooner) 💰Who Pays Commissions: The Buyer Agency Contract clearly states the brokerage fee (typically a % of the purchase price) being charged to represent the Buyer. The Buyer has ALWAYS been responsible for this fee. In MOST cases, the money from the house purchase is used to pay BOTH the Listing Brokerage as well as the Buying Brokerage. Prior to placing their home on the market, the Seller designates how much their Listing Brokerage AS WELL as the Buyer’s Brokerage will receive from their net when the home is sold. (typically 5% - 6% divided between the brokerages) Should the amount for the Buyer’s Brokerage be less than the amount on the Buyer’s Agency Contract; the contract also states that the Realtor will use their “best efforts to cause the Seller or Seller’s agent to satisfy the Buyer’s obligation to Broker.” 🕵️‍♀️Doing The Research Prior to viewing any homes, the information surrounding what the Seller is offering for Buyer Brokerage compensation is obtained from the Seller’s Agent. This ensures no surprises and sets the Buyer up to consider all facts before submitting offers. 👍🏻A GOOD Thing for Buyers More transparency is ALWAYS a good thing for consumers. The new NAR rules will also create more competition among Realtors, which ultimately leads to better service. We now must prove our value even more to earn the trust of a Buyer. Still have questions? Feel free to reach out via direct message, leave a comment or pick up the phone!

A credit score is designed to measure your risk as a borrower. FICO is broken down into 5 categories: Payment history This is insuring you’ve paid your credit accounts consistently and on time. It also factors in previous bankruptcies, collections, and delinquencies. Amount owed Next is the amount you currently owe relative to the credit you have available. Credit score formulas assume that borrowers who continually spend up to or above their credit limit are potential risks. The rule of thumb is to keep your credit utilization ratio below 30%. Credit Type Focusing on your amount of debt, this includes the number of different accounts that you have open and the specific types of accounts you hold. A large total amount of debt from many sources will have an adverse effect on your score. Length of credit history The longer your credit accounts have been open and in good standing, the better. Lenders will view someone who has never been late with a payment in 20 years as a lower risk than someone who has been on time for two years. New Credit When applying for new credit, your score gets dinged a little. Before opening a new credit account, it’s smart to consider whether having that extra credit is worth the drop in your credit score. Have questions? Reach out! I’m happy to help or connect you with one of my lender partners that can set you straight.🤍

House Hacking: Anyone could do this, but typically makes the most sense for my first time homebuyers - so listen up my babies! Buy a multi unit property 2-4 units is still considered “residential”. Anything larger tips into commercial categories. (This can be as simple as a home with an ADU) Live in one of the units, and you can call it your “primary residence” which results in lower down payment requirements and taxes. Rent out the other units for passive income and to cover a portion of (if not all) your mortgage payment. When it’s time to level up, keep the multi family property, rent out ALL the units, and look at that…you have a built in income producing investment property. 👏 Want to chat more about this option?

Her client loves BOTH Savannah and Charleston, (they are sister cities after all!) so she referred her to me here in Charleston. Now, Misty and I are working as a team to show our client properties where we each specialize. This is best for our client because she is able to work with a specialist in each location to help her decide what city she enjoys the most. Plenty of Realtors can help you buy a home; but having an agent who really knows the area, lives in the market and sees the inventory daily is essential to ensuring you get the right home at the best possible price. If you are on the hunt for a Realtor in your area and need a referral, feel free to reach out and I am happy to see who I may have up my sleeve! My job is to get you home - regardless of where that may be in the world. 🏡

I hate to say it, but it’s the truth!💯 If your home isn’t getting any showings, I’ll bet the reason is that it’s priced too high for the current market. You aren’t infront of your ideal buyer pool. Comparing your home to similar properties in the area may reveal that it’s listed too high. Be honest with yourself when comparing your home to other options on the market. The condition of your home matters; if it needs repairs or updates, buyers may not be willing to pay top dollar. Marketing is another critical factor. Poor-quality photos or a weak online presence can reduce visibility and limit interest. If you’ve had showings but no offers, your agent should be collecting feedback from other agents that can help identify concerns buyers may have. . . take that feedback and take action. Ultimately, being open to adjustments—whether in pricing, presentation, or negotiations—can increase your chances of attracting buyers and selling your home successfully. Need more tips or want someone in your corner that will be HONEST with you and ensure you are priced correctly from the start? Let’s chat!

This is YOUR journey, not mine, so l don’t really care if: 🤷🏼‍♀️You change your mind about the type of house you want or the location: When you first start looking, it’s easy to get fixated on one thing or one area. But as you tour homes and explore different neighborhoods, you get a better feel for your likes and dislikes. It is TOTALLY normal to shift the goal. I’m here to support your process and be sure we stay on track - not scattered. 📆 It takes a while to find the right place: It can take a week or a year; that’s the unexpected beauty of finding the ‘ONE.’ There is no pressure from me to rush. We’ll take the time you need to find that perfect fit. 🧹Your house is not perfectly clean for our listing appointment: Don’t stress about impressing me, everything does NOT need to be spotless when I come by to evaluate your home. Dishes, toys, or clutter-it’s all fine! Part of my job is to offer vision and suggestions; I can do my job regardless of what the place looks like. 👀You need to revisit a property for a second showing: Buying a home is a HUGE decision, and if you want to walk through your favorite property a few times (and invite your Mom/Dad or neighbor for their opinion) I’m happy to set it up and go with you as many times as we need to make you feel excitement in moving forward. Are you considering making a move in 2025? I’d be honored to help.

When one of their favorite treats are “water 🧊 cookies” then a winter wonderland is …actually a treat. #charleston #lowcountryliving #charlestonsc #chs #charlestonsnow2025 #snowday #chstoday #mountpleasant #mountpleasantsc #mountpleasantmoms #dogmom #doodle #dogsofinstagram #puppiesofinstagram #doodlesofinstagram #irishdoodle

The snow was fun - but after one day I was ready to get back to normalcy. The only thing about a winter weather event in the south is we shut down for days after. Here’s to hoping roads (and driveways of listings) are clear today! 🤞🏼

Do you agree? @brandonfromvegas says it best: The pent-up buyer demand is about to bubble over into the market. We are seeing people need to make moves, coming to terms with the idea that long gone are the pandemic rate days of 3% - the main focus now are the increasing house prices. If you are wanting to buy and your ducks are in a row, the time is now to take action. If you are still saving for your down payment, or you just aren’t ready yet, that’s ok too! If you decide to jump into the market later this year, it may be more competitive - that’s what l’m here for. My strength is adapting with the changing market and knowing exactly what it takes for my clients to succeed (while still making smart decisions). Save this for later so you can reach out when you are ready!

Charleston doesn’t see snow often - so if we do - we do it different.☃️ 🎥 Footage: @mpeacockmedia #chs #charleston #lowcountryliving #charlestonsc #mountpleasant #charlestonsnowday #charlestonsnow #charlestonlife #realestateagent #chstoday #chsrealestate #chsrealtor #mountpleasantmoms #charlestonrealestate

As temps are dropping and Charleston is getting ready for possible snowfall, I am often asked by my relocation clients just how often (if ever) we get snow around here because of how they see people react at the possibility of snow… The last time it snowed in Charleston, South Carolina was in January 2018, when the city received 5.3 inches of snow. This was the highest snowfall total in Charleston since 1989! While 5inches seems like nothing to my northern relocation clients - this event caused schools to close for several days and Charleston International Airport to close for five days. A state of emergency was even declared by City Council! While we may have less snow/ice than many are used to experiencing; it is important to note that we do not have the resources to clear our bridges and roads effectively and safely. So even if you are used to more extreme conditions - please take extra caution if you do venture out. Stay safe and enjoy the rare event if we see it!❄️☃️

STEP 1 Comment or DM me CHS and I’ll send over my free “HomeBuying in Charleston” guide. STEP 2 Contact me to schedule a 20-30 min call. I’ll answer all your questions, get to know your needs/wants/timeline and consult with you on “best fit” areas of town. STEP 3 Plan a visit. If you are relocating from out of town, plan a visit to explore Charleston. Let me know when that is so l can block out my day to show you around and see some homes. Follow these steps and you’ll feel more knowledgeable, empowered, confident & comfortable about your move-I promise! Let’s get you home.🏡

🔮Experts predict that mortgage rates will likely stabilize around 6% For perspective, the average rate over the last 50 YEARS (1971-2023) is 7.74% 📈From 2021-2023, rates rose faster than any point in that same 50 year period. On top of comparing today’s rates to the 3% and below we saw during Covid, it’s no wonder we feel like the current rates are crazy high. 🏡At the end of the day, life happens and people will need (or want) to move for a number of reasons. But keep in mind, there is also the prediction for a national annual price increase of 4.5% HERE’S WHAT I’D DO: If we’re a first time buyer: l’d reach out to a lender immediately to discuss my options. I’d look at what I could afford based on monthly payments and I’d make a plan to buy a home and get into the ‘game’ asap. If I were up-sizing and needed to sell and buy at the same time: l’d capitalize on the equity I have and get the house I really want/need. (Comment GUIDE for my free guide to buying and selling at the same time) If I wanted to downsize but didn’t want to loose my current low rate: l’d reach out to a realtor (dm me!) to find out exactly how much equity I have. It might be enough to sell high now, cash in equity, and buy down your rate.🤷🏼‍♀️ If you have questions or need real estate advice, please reach out. My goal is to provide you with all the value you need to make informed real estate decisions. 🥂Cheers, Ashley Cashon Sources: Zillow, Housing Wire, T360, NAR

Charleston is experiencing unusually cold weather this week, with highs barely reaching 45°F and nighttime temperatures dipping well below freezing. Since many of us in the region aren’t used to this kind of chill, here are some essential tips to keep your home safe during the cold snap🏡 #chs #charleston #lowcountryliving #mountpleasantmoms #realestateagent #charlestonsc #mountpleasantrealestate #charlestonhomesearch #charlestonrealtor #realestate #homeowner #coldweatherpreparedness #homesweethome🏡

The worst thing you can do⬇️ Use the Zestimate of your home as an absolute. This is an AI generated FORMULA based on the sales and mortgages found online. Its accuracy depends on accurate reporting and transparency - which rarely is the case: It doesn’t take into account any updates you’ve done, nearby developments, local neighborhood information and current demand of the market. The fact of the matter is, Zestimates could be off by a little, off by a lot, way too high or way too low. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The BEST thing you can do? Ask your local real estate agent to do a full analysis to get the most true and recent home value. And you don’t need to be selling- your home is your biggest investment. Knowing your home’s value will also tell you what equity you have in your home. There are a lot of things you could do with that equity (but that’s another conversation all together) Want a complimentary, TRUE home value report?

When buying a new construction home, a realtor is crucial because they can expertly navigate the complex process of negotiating with builders, reviewing contracts, guiding you through customization options, and ensuring you get the best possible deal on your new home.

‘Tis the season! 🫠 Have you hugged your Realtor today?

Closing gifts are always personal. I spend a lot of time with my clients; getting to know them, understand their goals, talking dreams, bonding over the (at times) stressful events - so it is important to me to leave them with a small token of my appreciation for putting their trust in me to help them with this next chapter of their lives. A closing signifies your new beginnings while marking the end of our realtor/client relationship - and this often feels bittersweet. While the sometimes daily calls/meetings have ended, this won’t be goodbye. I’ll be checking in with you when you least expect it to see how much you are LOVING your new home. 🏡 #charlestonsc #charleston #realestate #charlestonrealtor #mountpleasantmoms #charlestonhomesearch #realestateagent #mountpleasantrealestate #charlestonhomes #lowcountryliving #mountpleasantrealestate #realestate #homeowner #chstoday

Inspection Day (contd:) As a buyer, it’s your responsibility to work through the due diligence process. No part of the due diligence process for buyers is a legal requirement. (However, parts of the checklist might be required by a third party, like a lender.) BUT the inspections are there for the buyer’s protection. Throughout the process, you can expect quick movement upfront between the various inspections and other closing tasks. You will need to hire third parties for inspections and appraisals, which move quickly so the rest of the closing can proceed. Assuming you are working with a good real estate agent, (ME!)they will likely handle much of the scheduling and communication between parties, then update you as things are completed.

📍𝗦𝘁. 𝗣𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗽’𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵 | 146 Church St St. Philip’s Church in Charleston holds the distinction of being the oldest congregation in the state, founded in 1680. From 1893 to 1915, the church’s steeple actually served as a beacon to guide ships into Charleston’s harbor. The steeple served as part of a range of lighthouses, with the front tower located on Fort Sumter.

So you just bought a house (yay!)🎉 and now it’s time for inspections. Expect to receive an email from with 2 or 3 inspection companies that I consistently use and like. You’ll book a general inspection and I recommend adding on the following (when applicable): -sewer or septic -well -termite -chimney Once you pick a company and get it scheduled, the inspector will take care of getting approval and access to the home. As a buyer’s agent, I always come by to chat with the inspector and have them point out any major issues or concerns. I want to see the issues first hand and be as informed as possible when preparing our response for the sellers. I’ll call you for the last 30-45 minutes of the appointment to ensure you can stop by as well! It’s a great time to spend some time in the house, take measurements, etc. Buying a home and have questions about the process?

Home prices in Charleston are not expected to fall any time soon...This means that each day/month/year you wait, the same house will cost you more! For example - I helped a first time home buyer look into condos around $435,000 the begining of this year. Recently, a condo a few doors down from one she considered (with way less updates) just sold for $495,000. That’s $60,000 in equity gained because she DIDN’T WAIT to buy. How can you make homeownership your reality in 2025, instead of waiting 2, 3, or more years? I have a plan: ☝🏼we figure out your finances buy talking with a lender who is a first time buyer specialist ✌🏼we start to refine your home search based on your needs ✊🏼we put a strategy together to help you become a homeowner while also achieving your financial goals Buying your first home can be a reality - and I’d be honored to be a part of your mission to make that happen!

I am incredibly grateful to call Charleston, SC, my home. This city offers so much—a perfect blend of history, natural beauty, and a community filled with warmth and kindness. From breathtaking sunrises over the marshes to evenings spent walking the cobblestone streets, Charleston’s charm never ceases to inspire me. Living here reminds me daily of the importance of tradition, the beauty of nature, and the joy of being surrounded by such a welcoming and vibrant community.

Don’t let your bathroom decor be an afterthought! Whether it’s chic paint colors, statement artwork or a trendy mirror, seemingly small details can bring personality into your modern bathroom.

Here are some designer-approved bathroom ideas that prove you don’t need to spend a lot of money — or time — to upgrade your bathroom. 1. Color drenching 2. Placing a mirror over a window 3.
