Blake and Ryan Sure Have Great Taste

As if I needed another reason to love Ryan Reynolds... He and Blake picked a page out of my book of favorites!
The perfect rustic, chic, southern plantation is said to have been the place to be this weekend for Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' nuptials! Boone Hall Plantation, just outside of Charleston, is full of charm so not surprising that Blake and Ryan found it the perfect place to say 'I do'! 

The Cotton Dock on the grounds of Boone Hall Plantation is one of Charleston's most popular wedding venues and while it would typically be a tad on the rustic side for me it is about as rustic chic as it gets and provides the perfect backdrop for a fabulous evening celebrating.  

With some beautiful decor like this, it's hard not to love the setting!

Anxiously waiting Blake and Ryan's photogs but until then, this will give you an idea of how beautiful they will be...

Tuesday's Lowcountry Treasure

Thanks to House of Turquoise for resurfacing this gem a few weeks ago. 

Located in Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina's Lowcountry -- which of course automatically made for love at first site -- this home exhibits southern charm and beauty at it's best. 

Let me take you through this magnificent abode.

First, the exterior.

How about this front porch? And the shutters? Doesn't get much more inviting than this, and frankly, with a porch like this, you hardly even need to go inside (but it's too good not to so hang on a sec.)

Love the turquoise shutters... 

...and the gas lanterns!

This outdoor living room on the porch is fit for a king!

And the back porch - just a great as the front!

 Love the brick fireplace...

...and every beach home of course needs a swing!

Now, time to peek inside. 

We'll start with the kitchen.

This open kitchen is about as close to perfect as it gets in my book.

The beautiful mahogany floors 

The Living Room -- dreamy! 

Even this stairwell - fabulous!

Great bedrooms!
