Foot in the air

Pied - a' - Air

A particular motion in the galliard ( dance )

I came across this while searching for something completely different. The tittle I have to say, got the best of me.

 Who knew what gorgeous pics would follow?

This reigns from Charleston magazine, and what an eyefull. A new start on life, finding herself without a partner, as unexpected as it was; so was the path that led her to the historic People's building.

To think it all began with a walk with the dog's.

Terri the homeowner, in her high rise sky box way above the foot of Broad Street.

A home with a view and a beautiful city to watch as the day unfolds and unwinds.

Her high rise on a limb is perched atop the People's building, a former office buliding turned home residences.

A view over Sullivan's island, and the budding harbor all a buzz with activity in the morning hours.

What a perfect place to have a cup of your morning coffee.

This bathroom is amazing. I have worked with mirror distressing, and an entire wall, well it is stunning!

The metallic color is carried over to the custom sink pedestal too!

The result is a clean simple palatte that is anything but frou- frou.

I just love the kitchen too, I am trying to compile my own book for my own kitchen reno. I do love a brick wall. This one does not disappoint either.

A girl which lived before with heavy Italianate Renaissance style, she has simplified her life!

Her's is a room of her own (with a view). I really like this color combo with the natural slipcovered sofa(s) paired with a textural darker pillow and patterned pillows.

Also, the patterned sisal texured run underfoot is a different twist on solid sisal, it works in this room.

I also really like this hallway with the painted trompe l' oeil moulding and header. I like the way this apartment is serious but silly too without being too stuffy. I like to paint very controlled murals, paintings or projects but this is also a freeing way to paint. The looseness, the fluidness, and the fun of it!

The homeowner said hoe she loves to entertain and invite people to her home.

I like her quote;

" Opening up my home is a joy for me, I've always believed that if you don't share, you shouldn't have," said Terri.

When asked about her limited wall space for custom works of art, this homeowner embraces her limited wall space seeing all the beauty around her.

 It is her view that art,.... is moving around her all the time.
