In the South, monograms have long been a hallmark of personal style and home decor. However, a new trend is emerging that offers a fresh and personalized touch: home logos. These bespoke emblems encapsulate the essence of a household, blending family history, personal interests, and regional influences into unique designs.

These home logos extend beyond mere decoration; they serve as a unique identity for the household, offering a personal touch that monograms may lack.

The first room in our Charleston home is complete, thanks to Annie Selke’s creative pieces! It was such an exciting feeling watching this room come to life, and I can’t wait to see how the rest of our home comes together!

There are four bedrooms upstairs: two that I’ve dedicated as “kids’ rooms” and two (with the view of the Stono) that are for adults. Though this is one of those adult rooms, I still really wanted to play with color and we have no pink rooms in Columbia so I felt like I deserved one.

Over here at Shades of Pinck, we know no accomplishment is too small, so we look for any excuse to celebrate!

We recently pulled out a few Chappywraps and lit up the firepit to celebrate the season change. We didn’t need much else to enjoy the crisp air, but we did include a few packs of Tastykake’s new mini bundt cakes in our daily celebrations. 

With both chocolate chip + strawberry flavor options available, this really is the perfect little sweet treat to reward yourself.

It is night and day between the before and after of this moody kitchen renovation, and the best part is we made minimal changes that had a HUGE impact on the space.

Our first decision was to paint the cabinets. I knew I wanted white for a crisper look, but I’ve loved see kitchens with islands that were a darker, moodier color. Black just felt right. We ended up with SW Iron Ore on the island + BM White Dove everywhere else!

As cooler weather sweeps through our air, it’s hard not to get into the spirit of the season change and update your space with a little fall decor. I teamed up with Shopstyle and Kohl’s, to find a few things to transform our home for the season. From kitchen towels to a decorative basket, and more, here is how I effortlessly switched seasons around the house.

A tablescape is a great way to tell a story and our kitchen table plays a huge role in our space.

As you may or may not already know, my husband and I recently purchased a home together in Charleston, SC and I wanted to update you guys on the renovation progress. I have partnered with Lowe’s to work on one of the guest bathrooms and I am so excited with how it turned out! We went with an island house theme and did a complete refresh with Lowe’s Origin 21 collection wallpaper, vanity lights, a rattan light fixture, floors, and a fresh coat of paint in Sherwin Williams 6530.

Growing up, I never appreciated calling James Island home. For one, Charleston wasn’t Condé Nast’s #1 city in America at the time, but also it was all I ever knew. I was certain that there were other cities that were “better”. But as I grew older and started traveling the world I began to appreciate the town that my family had called home for over a century. It was as much a part of us as we were of it.

Y’all know I’m alwaysss looking for new and fun way to host friends + family so I was soo happy when we got this outdoor movie screen and projector a few summers back. But I’ll be honest– we don’t use it nearly as much as I hoped we would. So, when Mackenzie Child’s reached out to have me host something using their pieces I just knew this would be the perfect opportunity to blow it up!

Does anyone else feel like they go through shopping “phases”!? Like there’s one trend, color, or item you can’t stop obsessing over online? For me, absolutely. That’s why I’m super excited to start posting “curated collections” of items related to a specific theme each week.

Kicking off this series with the color living rent-free in my mind (and in my shopping cart…): Lilac. Lilac is the quintessential spring color, conjuring up fresh blooms, Easter eggs, and berry ice cream.

If you follow me on IG then you know we’ve been hard at work renovating a new Lake House– because we obviously had sooo much extra time on our hands lol! There’s still  much to be done, and we’re moving much more slowly than we had predicted (although this seems to be industry standard at this point).

Haven’t had a chance to put forth much thought for every room yet, but thanks to Pepper Home (and the help of my local interior designer), I’ve been able to dream up a beautiful space for Teagan.
