Timeless Coastal Charm
Turn your own home into a seaside retreat no matter your location with tips from these South Carolina homeowners.

An Outdoor Living Room
The Hoods have made their front porch one of the most congenial outdoor spots in Palmetto Bluff because their house doesn’t
have a conventional foyer—pairs of French doors open right into the main living room. This in-between space is where they
greet guests and neighbors, so it is here that their coastal touches begin.
The Hoods decorated their front porch with lamps that look like sea-weathered wood, sisal rugs, and throw pillows with wavy
and coral-like patterns inspired by the Atlantic Ocean just a short drive away.
