You can’t go wrong with a trip to Napa Valley. Every time I travel to California I feel as though I have been transported to Europe. The scenery is so vast, the culture so uniquely it’s own (as a comparison to The South where I hail from), and the food and wine culture outstanding. If

Highlands NC is a beautiful mountain town set at what the founders at the time thought would be the ideal intersection of Midwestern and NorthEastern train travel. Little did they realize that their hamlet of mountain heaven was set between mountains that were difficult to blast through and thus the railroad intersection never came to

24 Hour Nashville Travel Guide
Okay so, this isn’t my ideal way to travel. I normally like to spend at minimum three days in one location to get a proper feel for the place, but when I was invited to the House Beautiful concept house in Nashville and could only spare a day out of my schedule, I figured I’d

Our House in the Cote d’Azur
We got back from the Cote d’Azur a few days ago and I’m already having withdrawals. It might be one of my favorite cities to photograph outside of Charleston, in fact I’d liken this place to the Charleston of Europe. It’s so charmingly colorful, the climate is temperate and warm, and the food is fresh

There’s something about the hunt for unique objects at Antique malls that make an item feel truly special to me. Maybe it’s a bit of nostalgia from summer weekend mornings spent garage-saling with my grandma (she’s
