Located in the new River Road Garden District of Palme� o Blu� , the � nished model residence will open for visitors from Sept. 1-Nov. 4.

“� is house can be built anywhere in the River Road neighborhood and look completely di� erent. � e owner can change the colors, the � oor plan could be � ipped,” said interior design-er Shelley Wilkins of J Banks Design. “When visitors see the house and it’s complete, they can say ‘I like that. I can live with that.’”

In addition to displaying the work of area builders, designers and the Coastal Living Collection, the tour will raise funds for Blu� on Self Help and the Blu� on Boys and Girls Club via $10 admission to the tour.

“Any time we have partnered with Coastal Living on one of these homes, it has always involved a local charity,” said Courtney Hampson, marketing manager for Palme� o Blu� parent company Crescent Resources.

Page model o� ers 3,190 square feet of heated/cooled living space. � e two-story home has a large porch across the front, a deep back porch which steps down to a brick deck with a � replace, and a terrace that leads to the � re pit si� ing just above the dock.

Inside, visitors will step through the front door into an expansive living room-dining room that includes a � replace. On the main � oor, high ceilings feature simple wrought-iron lighting � xtures and fans.

Wilkins said the fabrics and rugs from the Coastal Living Collection were the source of the colors used throughout the house.

A stairway on the le� leads to the second � oor. To the right is the kitchen and family room, a blended living space that Wilkins feels will become a focal point in the home.

� e large pantry has places for small appliances and dry goods. � rough the kitchen leading out-side are the mud room with a built-in bench and the laundry room with a sink and cupboards.

Two large bedrooms upstairs boast en suite bathrooms and

closets. Large windows open the rooms to the outdoors.

� roughout the home, there are spaces to stow things out of sight and the room under the stairs is large enough to store holiday deco-rations, from tree to tinsel.

“All of the vendors added to the personality of the house,” said Hampson. “We didn’t want it to look like items all came from the same catalog.”

Among the � nishing touches are dozens of original paintings and prints from Morris & Whiteside Galleries of Hilton Head.

“� ere’s a huge amount of work involved in decorating this home,” said co-owner Ben Whiteside. “We’ll hang 70-80 paintings with-out � lling the wall space.”

Chris Dalzell, Shoreline owner, said the Lowcountry design allows for three large bedrooms or two master suites.

“It’s a very open � oor plan. You could live on one � oor,” Dalzell said. “Also, the whole Palme� o Blu� area is about outdoor liv-ing. � at’s why we have the large porches, outdoor � replace and walkways.” M
