Hey Hey and HAPPY FALL!!!
Last week a friend and I went on a “Loft Walk” which is a walking tour of a few lofts in downtown Charleston. Charleston, by comparison is a tiny city and only 50,000 people. We love it here! My friend is actually house shopping, I was just there to see some PRETTY and I was not disappointed.
I won’t go into detail on every picture so this will sort of just be a picture fest. Only 1 of these lofts we actually occupied and you will definitely be able to tell which one. I just snapped a few pictures in each loft of the things I found interesting or beautiful.
You can also read more about this event and see a few more (i.e. BETTER) pictures here in this newspaper article and this article.
Below is actually a kitchen in an older building. The building has I believe three apartments and this was one of them. I snapped this picture because I loved the black and white (of course!) The entire kitchen was painted black with white cabinetry. It was a small space so pretty hard to capture the whole thing but it made me seriously consider painting my kitchen black one day soon.
Here are the pictures of the only occupied loft. There are several other lofts and a penthouse also being renovated in this building. I LOVED all of the light fixtures and fans, plus the sliding doors on the office and kitchen. You can also see in a few of the pictures that they have some exposed brick and beams, which I think is gorgeous! They also quietly added some exposed wood pieces here and there which really gives this new construction loft some old charm.
This next group of pictures are two different lofts about a new-ish bar and grill downtown. They are FABULOUS. Like, seriously. Also the price tag reflects just how awesome they are 😉
Here’s the next one in the same building and my favorite FINISHED loft of the whole tour. I may have stepped into that shower and pretended to wash by hair and then was caught by one of the architects. Ha! Ain’t no shame in my game!
Windows line the entire right side of this loft because it faces the river. AMAZING views! No window treatments needed 😉
Here is a 1920’s building (known as the Charmco building) for sale across the street from Appalachian Power Park. It needs major repairs/renovation but I can see how fabulous it could be. It used to house a flour mill. You could watch every game from an upstairs window!
Hope you enjoyed my little tour! Have a great day!!
SO much fun Leigh Anne! I SO wish I could have walked this tour with you!!! LOVED that loft with the sliding doors to the kitchen, exposed bricks and beams and super fun light fixtures!
Ohh me too! I wish I could combine that loft and the one with the super luxe feel with the river views. That’d be delicious!
What a cool thing to do! I always wonder what other people’s homes look like inside and this is the perfect excuse to find out!
This sounds like a fun time! It would take some major envy/jealousy self control from me, but you could learn so much about how to make your own space awesome through it. I love those grey walls with the moulding. Goooorrgeous….
Yes, I was definitely jealous of the couple who was moving into the $700,000 loft above a super hip bar downtown. That’s so far from my life LOL!
So many pretty details!! As I was scrolling through I started a mental list of my favorite things, then I realized they’re ALL amazing and it’s impossible to choose one thing as a favorite! That old Charmco building is fabulous as well!! What a fun tour!!
I know! It was a blast touring all of these places!
