FROM THE WINGS
As customers step into the Mary Martin Galleries, the owner and namesake loves to people watch. Will it be a painting or a sculpture that this person will be drawn to?

A SENSE OF PLACE
Charleston is a city with plenty of transplants, but when you’ve been living here for as long as Rana Jordahl, it’s safe to say you’re a welcome local.

INSPIRED DESIGN
The curves of a wooden art nouveau staircase, the purple and deep blue feathers of a bird or the textures of a haute couture handbag—inspiration can strike anywhere for interior designer Lissette DelVecchio. “I love to look in my clients’ wardrobes and understand how they dress because I believe fashion and interiors share a lot […]

CAREFULLY CURATED
When a local family decided to build their dream home, they knew exactly what they wanted: an environmentally friendly, tech-savvy, modern house with organic materials, abundant natural light and large-format windows to frame the incredible views.

ISLAND ENERGY
Unspoiled beaches sprinkled with seashells, wispy grasses swaying with the wind in the marshland, graceful egrets flying overhead—Dewees Island is just a 20-minute ferry ride from Charleston but a million miles from the bustle of city life. The private barrier island is known for its remoteness—there are only 150 lots available on the island—but there’s […]
