Wine, Dine and Green Design in Charleston

April 14, 2009

We love a spacious, well-designed kitchen as much as the next spatula-wielding enthusiast; but alas, we make do with what we have. At any rate, we can dream, right? Right we can. And the interiors twinkling in our nighttime thoughts arrive from Gaylord Design, LLC. A Charleston-based design firm that touts environmental awareness and a [...]

Nothing Fishy about Matt Decell Contemporary Furniture in Charleston

March 26, 2009

Recently we traveled to rural Georgia and used a saw. An electric saw. It was a humbling experience — why, dear God, had we never used a power saw before; and why weren’t we predisposed with a natural ability to slice through wood? But it was also kind of thrilling: all that power, all that [...]

Keeping it Clean, and Spicy in the Kitchen

March 25, 2009

We like to spice first and taste later. It’s better that way; it improves our ability to distinguish flavors. But from that end we often wind up with greenish flakes drifting across the counter top, mini bottles rolling this way and that and green plastic lids that we snap shut like castanets.  But alas! We [...]

Your Personality and Refrigerator are not Mutually Exclusive

March 24, 2009

The Vintage of One — Lori Wyatt’s Wagner Terrace Home

March 19, 2009

We waited outside for her to leave. Then we broke in through the glass ceiling, shimmied down a fire pole from 1931 and strutted across her bearskin rug.

High Brow Low Brow — Vintage Posters on King Street

March 17, 2009

We like to think of ourselves as knowingly sophisticated and charmingly low brow. It’s a matter of balance — or duplicity? — and makes it easier for us to declare equal admiration for George Baselitz and Dr. Muffins.

Down, Dirty and Thrifty: This Year’s Spring Cleaning

March 16, 2009

Once upon a time life was minimal. We had only enough clothes to fill a couple of trash bags. We had our laptop, books and bathroom wares. Of course our kitchen was an appliance desert, and our interior aesthetic was largely determined by what the previous tenant left behind. Then something happened…

Dream Away, Charleston — SieMatic Kitchens provide Escape

March 13, 2009

The clock nears five on a gray Friday afternoon here in Charleston and we’ve caught ourselves dreaming. Maybe it’s the promise of this weekend’s freedom. Maybe because we just got paid. Or maybe it’s because we’re tired — frankly — of the continuous thump of sodden economic news that’s been dumped on our chest all [...]

Get Grilling, Charleston

March 11, 2009

We’ve had our first taste of warm weather. We even enjoyed our first BBQ this past weekend. (Note to Bacon lovers: Try wrapping a strip of bacon around a twig of rosemary and then grilling it. Delicious!)
Oh yes. It’s that time of year. And we’ve got grilling on the brain.
