products, but also eight stunning swimming pools located right here in the Lowcountry. If your outdoor spaces are in need of updating and you’d like to get even more ideas to make your home look like a million bucks, stop by the Charleston Fall Home Show, which is returning to the Gaillard Center on August 26th through 28th. We’re so excited to have Miller Gaffney, who has appeared on PBS’s Antique Roadshow as an appraiser, plus stars in TV's Art Breakers (which premiered last fall on the Ovation Network) attend our home show on Saturday and Sunday.

So make plans to bring your antiques to the show and Miller will appraise your family heirlooms for free!

E

very year when summer rolls around, all I can dream of is passing the time soaking up the sun beside a cool, beautiful body of water. And I know I’m not alone in those daydreams. My favorite season is also the best one to sip margaritas by the pool with friends, entertain by the grill, and enjoy Charleston’s breezy, warm nights under the stars.

If your backyard is already in tiptop shape, our Architects’ Gallery of Custom Homes will provide you with ogle-worthy images of some of Charleston’s expertly designed dwellings.

Finally, we take an in-depth look at the work and home of Linda Flannary, a Kiawah Island resident who, in the past two years, has poured her heart into a faith-based film, Only God Can. The movie was produced by Linda and filmed at her lovely oceanfront residence designed by architect Christopher Rose.

Throughout all the pages, I hope you find the ideas, information, and encouragement you need to start your next Lowcountry project.

In this issue, sunshine abounds. Not only are we bringing you nearly sixty inspiring outdoor living spaces and

MEET + GREET

Stay Current

Greg White of Southern Current

When co-founder Greg White brought the solar energy provider Southern Current to the Lowcountry, he had already managed hundreds of successful solar installations for everyone from the Department of Defense to residents in many Southeastern states. Greg took a moment to share his expertise with CH+D.

What is your background in the energy-solutions field?

What different energy-saving options do you provide?

Southern Current has been installing solar-energy systems on homes, businesses, and military facilities for eight years, and we have hundreds of happy customers to our name. We also develop large-scale solar farms that provide clean energy to utilities in North and South Carolina.

What are some of the benefits of installing solar panels on a home?

We are always happy to discuss ways homeowners can save energy and provide them with referrals to our network of providers. We offer both residential and commercial options for solar paneling to reduce the overall carbon footprint. We also have solar farms that offer services including site prospecting, surveying, evaluation, development, engineering, and installation for all possible paneling projects.

Each panel drastically reduces or eliminates your power bill, while helping to preserve the environment. Usually, that bill is off-set five years after installing residential solar panels.

Furthermore, tax incentives make it an easy decision for many home and business owners. There is a thirty-percent Federal tax cut, as well as a twenty-five percent South Carolina state tax cut. There are also several energy businesses that help accommodate homeowners with solar panels; SCE&G and Duke Energy Progress both offer rebates that will often credit customers for the next ten years.

Do you have any advice for homeowners who are considering solar panels?

Look for a company that knows your local utility, has an in-house engineering staff, is NABCEP certified, and has installed panels in your area. It’s important to make sure the house can get as much sunlight as possible, so check for any trees that could hinder the function of solar panels.

We do our best to make the solar panels fit with the overall aesthetic of the house.

For more information, call Southern Current at (843) 277-2090 or visit southerncurrentllc.com.

HE SAID / SHE SAID

The Ins and Outs of Fabric Selection Husband-and-wife team Jonathan and Allison Flanary of Aiden Fabrics face off about the best materials for a home.

He Said: He Said: Safe neutrals. Curtains are a large portion of your room and can grab the eye of a visitor very quickly. They are also an investment. Use subtle tones and let your pillows and rugs (which can be changed often and inexpensively) bring a splash of color.

He Said: I love using indoor-outdoor fabrics (like Sunbrella) because of their durability and resistance to stains and fading. In fact, I have them on our sofa in the living room and on two chairs. We have two kids and two dogs—you can imagine the potential for stains. I have cleaned the sofa dozens of times with a wet sponge, and it is like new.

He Said: Of course, solution-dyed acrylic fabrics! Solution-dyed thread is the best for all of your outdoor upholstery and drapery applications. It’s the most resistant to sun fading, soiling, and mold staining.

She Said: Bright Colors for Curtains or Safe Neutrals?

She Said: Go bold! Curtains are like the paint on the walls; they set the temperature and mood for the whole room. Bright colors keep the room happy and fun!

Best Material for Indoors?

She Said: I like one-hundred-percent cotton for everyday fabrics like bedding and draperies. They tend to lie better as a natural fiber and are washable. They might not be as durable as a fabric that has a polyester or rayon blend, but you can’t beat the classic look or feel of cotton.

Best Material for Outdoors?

She Said: We agree on this! We have used Sunbrella fabrics indoors and out, and we have seen the benefits in both applications.

The outdoors in the South can be brutal with the sun, rain, pollen, dirt, and mold. Acrylics are the only way to go. In most scenarios, you can just rinse them off and let them dry.

YOUR MONEY'S WORTH

Taking a Look at the Cost of

Foundation Flood Vents In the Lowcountry even the smallest rainfall can create major flood damage for both businesses and homes. This causes owners to worry about the stability of structures, as well as the full extent of unseen damage. Foundation flood vents can save the foundation of your homes.

Evaluating Flood Insurance Requirements

Nearly every homeowner in the Lowcountry is required to protect his or her home from flooding. The first step is to employ an insurance agent who knows the requirements inside and out. Each flood insurance policy should have an Elevation Certificate specific to the home. The data on this certificate directly reflects why the premiums that come with a flood insurance policy are either high or low.

Foundation flood vents directly affect the price of premiums.

If an existing home’s flood insurance premium seems high, it is likely that the home is non-compliant. By installing flood vents that protect the home from hydrostatic pressure buildup (which is what destroys walls and foundations during a flood), the foundation has proper openings that allow water to circulate through the crawlspace without damaging the structure. Vents that are designed to open and close with the motion of water, while allowing smaller objects through those spaces, keep the vents from clogging and offer the biggest incentives for lower premiums.

Maximizing Savings

Installing flood vents that move with water flow, don’t clog, and are made of marine-grade stainless steel can save a homeowner money in the long run by creating an environment that dramatically reduces the risk of flooding.

Vents can be installed during the building process or after market. The team at Smart Vent, in particular, has a Flood Risk Evaluator division. This division can determine how much the vents will save a homeowner before the vents are even purchased.

For more information, call Smart Vent at (877) 441-8368 or visit smartvent.com.

HOMEWORK

At Home with

Jamison & Heather Howard of Max Crosby Construction When local builder Jamison Howard and his wife, Heather, began the search for their next family home, they found themselves drawn to a late-1970s construction with good bones and plenty of character. After taking the Isle of Palms house down to bare studs to construct their vision (while maintaining many features that made

1

Jamison and Heather chose to preserve the nailed-plank heartpine floors because they saw them as a major contributor to the home’s charm. Stark-white shiplap ceilings and walls complement the warm hues of the flooring. The couple achieved a clean, tranquil look through use of a soft overall color palette, and the two brightened things up with accent furniture from Coralberry Cottage.

2

Jamison loves the look and feel of an enameled range, so it’s no surprise that one of his favorite aspects of the kitchen is this one by LaCanche.

The mosaic backsplash incorporates colors found throughout the house and creates a kitchen atmosphere that strikes a harmonious chord with the rest of their living space.

3

One of the elements of the original construction that Jamison was most interested in preserving was this true masonry fireplace. Finished with reclaimed Charleston brick and studded with costal decorative objects, this centerpiece exudes Lowcountry charm.

CRAFTED IN CHARLESTON THE CRAFTSMAN: Twenty-One-Year-Old Jackson Pinney

THE CRAFT: Jackson creates custom, made-to-order wooden tables, bookshelves, and countertops. Most popular are his tables made from poplar wood, finished with a driftwoodstyle stain.

THE BACKSTORY: Jackson always found joy being on the water. When he was fifteen years old, he decided to build his own boat, regardless of the fact that he had no previous carpentry experience. It took six months to complete, and, much to his surprise, it floated. It was this risky endeavor that instilled in him a love of constructing things. After one semester at a liberal arts college, he decided to try his hand at making furniture. When he was nineteen, interior designer Bobbi Jo Engelby of Domain Interiors & Design commissioned him to create a custom table. Following this initial project, Jackson began to create unique pieces that he continues to build and sell to this day.

THE PROCESS: Jackson's clients can commission pieces in any dimension and style they choose.

He doesn’t stick to one particular type of wood—sometimes he uses reclaimed products, but often he seeks quality materials from the lumberyard. The wood begins in a rough state. A saw is used to rip the boards down to an ideal size to prevent curving or warping. Each edge is cut to be perfectly straight, allowing several boards to be glued together with ease. What makes his tables so special are the skill and care with which Jackson applies each stain. Stains can be either matte or satin, according to what the client prefers. Jackson then attaches metal or wood table legs. His tables usually take weeks to complete, but the finished product is a one-of-a-kind piece that the owner is sure to treasure for years to come.

Glass Act

E

veryone knows that recycling is a great habit when it comes to preserving our ecosystem, but did you know that 6,288 tons of South Carolina glass was recycled in 2015? Or that glass is onehundred-percent recyclable and holds its purity unlike other recycled objects? Since 2006, Fisher Recycling has been using local glass to create unique countertops that are individually handcrafted. Each countertop is custom poured; colors, glass sizes, and resin options

are infinite. High density, UV-protected concrete with heat and scratch resistance is used for both indoor and outdoor spaces. This means each counter comes with minimal maintenance, plus it satisfies a natural stone appearance while eliminating the negative environmental impact of natural stone.

Clean and Green Want to maintain a squeaky clean bathroom while avoiding environmental injury? Consider installing a bath or shower made of non-porous acrylic, like the systems offered at Bath Planet. These baths and showers are aesthetically pleasing and super simple to clean. Soap and warm water is all that is needed to clean these acrylic surfaces. Since mold or mildew cannot grow on this material, you won’t need to worry about using harsh chemicals that can be costly and have a negative impact on the environment. Having a sparkling clean bathroom and keeping your bath or shower in tip-top shape is simple when using a Bath Planet product. With a simple upkeep routine and added eco-friendly benefits, choosing to install one of these systems is something a homeowner might want to consider when remodeling.

H2OME Long-Lasting Lighting Solution Quality outdoor lighting is paramount in a city like Charleston—we use it to illuminate our homes in the evening, light our pathways, and create ambient patio spaces. But the humid Lowcountry climate can be unforgiving, and the salty ocean air is no friend to outdoor appliances. That is why it’s crucial to use outdoor lighting that is made with non-corrosive metals that can withstand the environment of the place we call home.

Consider fixtures made of high quality plated copper, which will develop a patina finish, rather than corroding or weathering. These fixtures are durable and designed with our climate in mind.

What better way to spend maximum time enjoying the Lowcountry’s beautiful weather than in your own outdoor kitchen? A key element of creating a stylish, worry-free space is using high-density polyethylene cabinets, like those made by Werever Outdoor cabinets. The company creates cabinets that are engineered to withstand direct weather exposure and extreme temperature. High-density polyethylene prevents splitting, fading, or cracking, and the cabinets won’t absorb water or swell the way wood does. Cleaning is easy because the cabinets can be hosed down or power washed inside and out. Each product comes in a myriad of colors, and because the material is solid all the way through, there won’t be any chipping or peeling paint. Bonus? Werever kitchen cabinets are not made of wood or any organic compounds, so there is nothing for pests (like termites) to feast on.

Other than that, many homeowners are asking for solid doorknobs and curb-less showers with frameless shower doors. There’s an emphasis on having a big, beautiful bathroom and a professional kitchen. Then, of course, the oldies, like hardwood floors throughout and natural-stone countertops.”

“The Mosquito Nix misting system runs automatically, sort of like an irrigation system but on a much smaller scale. From a control panel, we run high-performance, tough nylon tubing throughout the perimeter of the property. We also put misting nozzles around deck areas. Homeowners get a remote, and they can be anywhere on the property to use it. Not only does the system mist three times a day, but users can also click a button at any time to avoid carrying around bug spray.”

What are some of the lighting products manufactured right here in the Charleston area?

“We create very special items; we try not to be like everyone else.

Some of the products we have made that are unique are our antique LED-type light bulbs. In addition to those, we also use LEDs to backlight mirrors. Rather than someone trying to buy a mirror and put a light over or next to it, we have an all-in-one package. An electrician could actually hang the mirror for you.”

Building Blocks

Builder: Alan Wheeler

What was the vision for this Summerville home?

The home was designed to capture the view of the Ashley River.

It has an open floor plan as well as extra storage space. It includes a large screen porch facing the river with a swimming pool underneath and a vaulted ceiling in the living room to match the vaulted porch and to bring the outdoors in. The one-story plan has a drive-under two-car garage and lots of storage, and the master closet is huge! Earthy elements of stone and stucco were added outside at the front entrance and around the pool.

What are the distinctive features of this home that illustrate your custom work?

The homeowners wanted simple architectural elements blended with distinct colors and traditional materials such as clapboard siding, a stone fireplace, shaker cabinet doors, hardwood floors, and a pantry barn door. Trapezoid windows and a twelve-foot sliding door between the living room and rear porch brought in added light and extended the indoors outside. The master shower is door-less, has multiple shower heads, and has a seat. An elevator shaft was installed for an aging-in-place lifestyle.

What advice do you have for those endeavoring to build a home?

If a homeowner wants a cost-effective design, to design to a budget, and help with going to the stores to buy finished goods as well as pulling everything together, then they should consider a design-build contractor. The builder should be a member of local home-builder associations, and should be able to provide references. Finally, choose the builder who you trust the most, who understands and listens to you the best.

Architects + Archetypes

Landscape Architect: JR Kramer

What is a landscape architect and how do landscape architects differ from landscapers?

Think of a landscape architect as an architect for your outdoor space.

With an accredited degree and license, we have extensive knowledge and the ability to design outdoor spaces that consider all aspects of a project. It is our job to integrate all elements in a way that is harmonious, functional, and beautiful. This can include hardscape design (such as walkways, patios, pools, small structures, arbors, and walls), plus night lighting, grading, and of course, planting design. Though it is easy to confuse landscape architects with other landscape professionals, the difference is simple. Landscape architects design spaces and work with landscaping or construction companies to help install or maintain those designs.

How can the ideas from this commercial project be applied in a residential scenario?

This showcase is a small courtyard space, which is utilized by nearby offices. The design could translate very well as a residential space between a home and detached garage or other outbuilding.

Different elements, such as the paving, seatwalls, a privacy fence, native plantings, and site furnishings, could be included in any residential setting.

What are the most unique features of this project?

The most unique attribute of this space is the greenwall. This would be great for a residential space that had limited area for planting or for a client that desired a feature to set his or her yard apart from the typical garden. The greenwall is a modular system that can be as large or a small as the client desires.

Company: Riverside Designers Credentials: Jennifer has her bachelor degree in interior design from the University of Georgia and is an Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers. The Charleston native now owns Riverside Designers.

What was your vision for this project?

The homeowners moved to Seabrook Island from the Northeast, so our goal was to create an elegant atmosphere for them that also reflected their new coastal surroundings.

This was especially important because they were building their dream retirement home from afar. We worked with the architect and builder (Stephen Mays and Rick Aldrich, respectively) to carefully make every selection with the clients' aesthetic in mind.

What is your favorite feature of this home?

There are too many to count! I do love the functionality and size of the two kitchen islands, which create a great flow for both casual cooking and more formal entertaining. I also love the beams and windows in the great room; they make such an impact when you walk through the front door.

What advice do you have for homeowners seeking professional design help?

I think the best advice I can give homeowners aiming to hire an interior designer is to trust the process. Good design is indeed a process, and we are used to guiding our clients through the different aspects of the project. Every decision has to honor the overall aesthetic. Our job is to retain the vision for that aesthetic through each and every meeting. This takes a lot of pressure off of the clients and allows them to really enjoy the process.

ith a full-time career that requires homeowner Lien Bragg to travel regularly, creating a restful escape was top priority. When she moved into her home on James Island, though, it was completely empty.

“I’d sold all of my possessions from my home on Bogard Street because none of it really fit my idea for what I wanted this house to be,” says Lien.

“But starting from scratch was extremely daunting.” That’s why she contacted GDC Home.

From the moment GDC Home's Gil Tisdale and Stephanie Jenkins met Lien, and after listening to her goals for the general feel of the house, they

88

CH+D • Summer 2016

pooled their considerable skills to help Lien develop her interior from the ground up. “The house was pretty stark when we first started. Some rooms were different shades of white and the kitchen was very dark,” explains Gil. “Lien’s style is softer and she likes hints of rustic-chic, so from there she pretty much gave us carte blanche,” adds Stephanie. Gil and Stephanie started by choosing a muted gray color for the walls before moving on to the living area, knowing that it needed to be intimate and uncluttered. They brought in textures, like fluffy blankets, a pair of fuzzy stools in the living room, and velvet pillows, along with soft blush and lavender hues to draw attention to different aspects of the design.

(above left) This handcrafted table complements the custom bench, both created by George Baker, Master Craftsman, and adds the perfect rustic touch to the kitchen. (above right) Expert seamstress Terri Hallman from Pins N Needles contributed handcrafted pillows or window treatments for almost every room in the house.

The view from the entrance opens into the living area and beyond, with the kitchen toward the left and the office to the right. Neither space is huge, and could end up being awkward parts of each room, but Gil knew just what to do with them. “A good friend of Lien’s is a carpenter, so we had him custom build the window benches to mirror each other and incorporate extra storage. He also fabricated the table to be the perfect size for the dining area,” remarks Gil. Overall, Lien’s home boasts a consistent color scheme to keep each room light and relaxing, but Gil and Stephanie mixed it up a little in the master bedroom. Large French doors open to a backyard with

plenty of privacy, so Lien elected to go without a window treatment. From there Gil and Stephanie to incorporated some natural tones to complement the view of the sunshine and foiliage.

For Gil and Stephanie’s next step, they plan to help transition the bathrooms from cold contemporary spaces to elegantly rustic retreats that flow with the rest of the house. Then they’ll tackle the barn renovation, so that Lien’s guests will have their own suite (behind Lien’s master bedroom). Before long, Lien will have her own personal oasis that she won’t ever want to leave. v

harleston quickly went from being a nice city to visit while one of their daughters attended the University of South Carolina to a dream retirement location for John and Connie Altergott. Seven years after they first began exploring the area, the Altergotts have now put down permanent roots in the Lowcountry. For the past two years,

90

the two have been carefully designing their new home. The pair spent countless hours thinking through every aspect of this coastal-style space to make sure it proved to be functional, beautiful, and practical for years to come.

Connie and John worked together with several subcontractors to see their

dreams translated into their new house.

HWC Custom Cabinetry is one such company that helped the couple throughout the design process. “What you really have is an empty box when we start. It’s kind of a blank palette. My wife is great at coming up with what she wants to have, but everyone needs somebody to facilitate and bring out those special items that are

(facing page left) The Altergotts chose “Absolute Black” granite to contrast the white cabinets and white apron farm sink. Aside from colors, the couple also kept in mind their specific storage needs, like having shelves built into the end of the island for cookbooks. The homeowners used white cabinetry throughout most of the house for a unified look. (top right) This spacious and open bathroom features his-and-hers sinks.

contained in each area,” John shares, explaining how Jay Miller from HWC Custom Cabinetry worked closely with them during the build.

Upon first entering the Altergott’s home, HWC Custom Cabinetry’s work can be seen featured in John’s home office, and it continues throughout most of the house. “I wanted to make sure that we are utilizing space for the

homeowners in the best way. I might have an opinion, but I’m not the one living in the house. Everybody has a different work flow, and I’m sensitive to that,” Jay expresses when talking about how he works with customers, like the Altergotts, to create a functional space for them. The kitchen is one room that highlights many forms of custom cabinetry and design work that was generated with the Altergott’s

specific wants in mind. Everything from a warming drawer and shelving for cookbooks to storage for large kitchen items was taken into consideration when planning this room.

Aside from the many practical aspects of the kitchen, the aesthetics of the space are outstanding as well. The white apron farm sink and matching cabinets contrast with the “Absolute CH+D • Summer 2016

The planning of the laundry rooms extended beyond just color schemes. John and Connie created and designed these spaces to keep in line with their long-term plans. When explaining the reasoning behind adding an additional laundry room to the second floor, John says, “Well, we are trying to plan for the future. You know, we

have a first floor master for when my knees go bad. We figured it’d be better having another laundry room on the second floor, rather than dragging all of the sheets and everything downstairs. We wanted to have one central room for that upstairs.”

n 1976, Sally Casias’s mother moved her family out of downtown Charleston to Mt. Pleasant. She had purchased a 900-square foot home off of Coleman Boulevard. Years later, she became ill, and her son, Tommy (who is an antique dealer), moved in to care for her.

Later, Tommy took up residence at the home, and eventually the beloved property fell into the hands of Sally and Chris (and their two children, Garrett and Pressley). With the blessing of her siblings, the Casiases demolished the small home and began construction on a brand-new project.

“We talked about renovating and remodeling, but ultimately we decided to tear it down so that we could build exactly what we wanted,” explains Sally. The goal was two-fold: they wanted to provide a home for Sally’s brother, Tommy, on the property, and they wanted a design that

was unique and clutter-free. For Tommy’s space, they built an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) over the garage—complete with a kitchenette, sitting area, bedroom, and bathroom, all in a traditional burnt orange color and punctuated with antiques from yesteryear.

For the main home’s unique décor, Sally and Chris turned to Chris’s

mother, Dana Weil, and sister, Diane Schroder. The mother-daughter duo runs Palmetto Moon Antiques, an eclectic home-and-garden shop in the heart of Mt. Pleasant. Of the décor, Sally laughs, saying, “I would tell Diane, ‘You just do whatever you like, and if I don’t like it, I’ll say, ‘I don’t like it!’’” Sally trusted Diane’s eye for design as she incorporated tin tiles, “Old Soul” lamps made with

antiques imported from China, and one-of-a-kind pieces, like the long wooden dish adorning the kitchen island.

Sturdy & Strong Using Rhino Shield coating as opposed to traditional paint for your home can have added benefits.

CH+D • Summer 2016

Article by Laura Jones • Photography by Patrick Brickman

(inset) Jon Rosa of Rhino Shield stands next to a home that has been coated in the ceramic covering. (above left) Rhino Shield’s ceramic coating is eight to ten times thicker than traditional paint and is warrantied against chipping, peeling, and cracking for twenty-five years. (above right) Many steps occur before any ceramic coating is put on a home. Rosa emphasized that prepping a home is the most important step to make sure that all surfaces are clean and in good shape before any color is applied.

P

ainting your home with standard materials has been the go-to option for years and years, but with a new, innovative product, you may consider tossing your paintbrushes in the trash. Rhino Shield’s two-step ceramic coating process is a unique solution that does more than just spruce up the colors on your home. Jon Rosa of Rhino Shield says, “This coating is warrantied for twenty-five years against peeling, cracking, and chipping,” which is just one of several points to take note on when exploring this option.

Rhino Shield’s ceramic coating process will leave an end product that is eight to ten times thicker than traditional paint. It is waterproof and will insulate what it covers. Here in the Lowcountry, having an insulated exterior coating during the hot summer months is

something to take into account. “The ceramic coating reflects radiant heat, and it can cool a wall surface twentyfive to thirty degrees, which obviously helps on your bills,” explains Jon. Color is important to many homeowners, as well as homeowner’s associations, and that’s just fine with Rhino Shield.

This product can be created to match any color necessary. All you have to do is choose a color you like. After all, it will be your home’s color for more than two decades.

Before any color of coating is applied, Rhino Shield carefully adheres to a sctrict prepping process. First, a project chief conducts an onsite meeting and then a team pressurewashes the home removing any dirt, mold, and mildew. Cleaning the home also helps to identify any areas that might need repair before the coating is applied. “Prepping is everything that we do because it is incredibly important,” Jon adds. Next the team has to caulk the doors, windows, and any gaps in the wood to ensure a tight seal. After all repairs are completed and the home and landscaping is

prepped and protected, the crew begins applying the ceramic coating.

Fun fact! Even NASCAR chose to use Rhino Shield after having paint issues. NASCAR coated a wind tunnel in Mooresville, North Carolina several years ago and recently covered a speedway in California with the product. v For more information, call Rhino Shield at (843) 884-1992 or visit rhinoshieldsc.com.

Brian introduced the couple to Melissa Hunter of MW Hunter Custom Interiors to design the space around the Zaks’s aesthetic. Melissa helped them move from a Floridian style to one of Lowcountry elegance.

She explains, “Maryanne loves a lot of color and beachy patterns indicative of Florida, so we had a lot of fun messing with the prints and hues

to give the condo more of a classy Charleston look.”

This transition, however, is not what helped the Zaks really pull the project together; it was Melissa’s insistence upon considering every detail. Together they incorporated heirloom pieces from various travels, making the design look cohesive while still including those special items. “Because they traveled so much,” Melissa notes, “those sou-

Fletcher Thompson of Helm Construction had just this thought when it came time to fashion the structural

and interior details of this particular Mt. Pleasant home. “We tried to break away from that coastal-colonial look in subtle ways. Instead of classic elements, we reduced the lines throughout the house to a simple shakerstyle profile,” Fletcher explains. “We chose dark earth tones for the floors

and cool whites for the walls, and neutrals to contrast, which keeps everything crisp from room to room.”

Because the kitchen is where homeowners spend a vast chunk of their time, Fletcher knew exactly who to call to create a space with character,

yet also one that didn’t overwhelm the charm of the rest of the house.

Niki Komorek of Charleston Cabinets brought her expertise to the counter, so to speak. “Naturally, a shaker-style cabinet fits right in with the home’s motif, so it was important to incorporate other elements and details to help the kitchen make its own statement,” says Niki. For example, she added details like the spindle posts along the pull-

out spice racks on either side of the range. The dark “Espresso” color of the island also contrasts the white of the cabinets along the walls.

Stacked upper cabinets reach to the ceiling and add a finished, clean touch to the overall feel of the kitchen. The glass façades draw the eye upward, and the three-step crown moulding flows with the rest of the specialty millwork throughout

the house. Don’t let this kitchen’s glamor distract from the other hidden gems, though. “Functionality is, I feel, the most important aspect of a kitchen,” Niki explains. “If the workspace isn’t organized and the pots, pans, and appliances aren’t easy to access, utilizing the kitchen becomes frustrating rather than enjoyable.” That’s why Niki implemented pull-out trash drawers, a Lazy Susan in that awkward corner CH+D • Summer 2016

Rookie filmmaker Linda Flannery shares the story of her movie Only God Can, set at her traditional Kiawah Island retreat.

Story by Megan J. Busch

Three years ago, Linda Flannery was invited to a bible study by her friend Jennifer Truesdale, and the group read a script written by Colette Harrington Schwoeri and Terry Ward Tucker of Charleston. Linda was immediately drawn to the story of five College of Charleston sorority sisters, reuniting each year after graduation. The film, Only God Can, chronicles the meeting of the girls one particular year at the beachfront Kiawah home of larger-than-life, alcoholdependent Coley (played by Donna D’Errico of Baywatch). The protagonist, Sara, played

by Lisa Sheridan (who has made appearances on NCIS, CSI, Monk, and The Practice), is a devout Christian with a fierce love for her friends from college. Three other girls complete the group—Patrice, Gracie, and Glen. Patrice (played by Robbi Chong of Poltergeist: The Legacy) is a feminist, a poet, and a businesswoman, and Gracie (played by Vanessa Evigan of Against the Grain) is a single mom of three. Glen (played by Debra Capps from Greenville, South Carolina) is a dutiful daughter who runs a women's shelter. She is married to a man who has her family's approval, but she is utterly unhappy. The portrayal of tangible problems and conflict, deep friendships, and the hope of transformation inspired Linda to produce Only God Can. So, with no film experience, she began an adventure. She started Inspire You Entertainment and, with the help of a talented team, created the feature-length movie. Charleston Home + Design sat down at Linda’s home (which served as Coley’s welcoming abode in the film) to chat about her story, her work, and the structure that became the backdrop of Only God Can.

One of the goals of the design of Linda Flannery’s home was to maximize the connection between the house and the natural surroundings. Because of this, she worked with architect Christopher Rose of Christopher Rose Architects to connect a porch or balcony to every room facing the ocean.

Linda, your career background isn’t in a field even remotely close to film production. What did you and your husband do earlier in your life that led you to the Lowcountry?

Linda: My husband, Jim, and I owned a technology company in the DC area, and before that, I worked for IBM as a senior manager. My husband, Jim, traveled to Charleston for a golf trip and loved it. We were both doing consulting at that point, so when we found Kiawah, we realized we didn’t need to live in DC anymore. We flew back and forth for a few years and worked remotely.

All my life, I was a woman in technology, where there weren’t a lot of women. I’ve always felt like I had to work harder to prove my-

First of all, I’m too old to be doing that [laughs], and secondly, I had no real experience. A hardworking attitude and management experience do play a role in what I’m doing now. I know how to put together the right team of people, and a team can accomplish much more than what one person can.

How did you actually begin the process of developing the team to create Only God Can? Linda: When I read the Only God Can script at that bible study, I knew I had to do it. I had never made any sort of movie before, but it was

like God just said to me, “You need to do this.” So, when I first started, my intention was more to invest in the production. I was going to be the person who put up the money for the movie. I still do that, but it’s not my whole focus. Because I didn’t know anything about filmmaking, I didn’t think I could add any real value, but I’ve learned that I can.

The script was co-written by Colette Harrington Schwoeri and Terry Ward Tucker. I had a team of people that I trusted and felt were well qualified to do the movie. It’s all about assembling the right team, and we took it from there.

What was the next step in the development?

Linda: To make the film, we cre-

ated Sweet Carolina Film, LLC. When I later decided that I wanted to make more movies and do this permanently, I created Inspire You Entertainment. So I am Inspire You Entertainment, and Inspire You Entertainment now owns most of Sweet Carolina Film. That is the way it basically works, if that makes sense.

Sweet Carolina Film bought the rights to the script, and then we produced the movie from it. We filmed it here in Charleston and in Greenville, and we shot one or two scenes in Los Angeles.

How was the decision made to shoot the movie in your own home?

Linda: You know, originally when it was written, the director and writers had Isle of Palms in mind. I just said, “Oh, I’ve got a beach house.

Why don’t we just do it here?” So we did. I mean, it was that simple.

Mind you, it was kind of unnerving because the crew would come in with a ton of equipment, and the entire house was turned upside down.

But, you know, I realized that didn’t really bother me. After the filming at the house, I just became really interested in the process, and I started managing the project.

What did that new role entail for you?

Linda: At that point, I had a complete movie, but I wasn’t satisfied. I

knew that it didn’t tell the story that I wanted it to tell, so we took the footage out to Los Angeles, where we had it re-edited. I sat with the editors, and I could see the magic that they could do on the screen. You can tell a number of different stories in the way you edit, in what you show, and in what you don’t show.

Editors can only work with what has been shot and what you have as footage, but they are the ones that really make the story come to life.

We painstakingly sat through every scene and combed through each one for several weeks together.

What were you able to learn by becoming more heavily involved with the filmmaking process?

Comfortable outdoor furniture adorns the decks overlooking the pool and the ocean beyond.

Linda: I learned that I had to work hard to prove myself. I have a great relationship now with everyone that’s in the movie. I am also thankful that we are all very close friends. But when we first started this, they had no idea if we would be able to really produce a successful movie. They would look at me and say, “You have never worked in Hollywood. How are you going to do this?” And, we’re doing it. I’ve also learned the importance of being honest. People, I think, a lot of times, will tell you what you want to hear. I’ve learned that you have to decipher between people who are just being nice and people that really like and understand your ideas.

I changed as a person, too, through this. I have become, as I age, closer to God. I always took my kids to church, but I never would have said I had a

moment where I felt like God was really talking to me or giving me a clear interpretation of what I should be doing with my life. I just never had that until this film.

Why do you think that this project had such a profound impact on your life?

Linda: Well, in 2011, my husband and I had been married for a while, and we separated. So this is part of where my story with Only God Can goes. I was stuck; really, I felt stuck.

I was by myself out here on Kiawah.

I had to stop working for the first time in my life to make sure that I was there for my youngest children who were still at home. My mother had come to live with me because she was ill, too. I was this really strong career woman, and when Jim

left me, it was like my whole life fell apart for a while. Eventually, I had to move out of the Kiawah house to Daniel Island because the commute was becoming too much to handle.

We were separated for three-and-ahalf years, and I became depressed.

As much as I wanted him to come back, I couldn’t force that. I had to let things kind of unfold. God came into this picture, though. Sometimes, when you think things are the worst they possibly can be is when you have the best opportunities. I was not with my husband when I read the movie script.

Even as bad as I felt about myself at that time—I felt like I was broken— when I got that script, I still knew that it was something I was supposed to do.

This movie was part of my journey in rediscovering who I am and who God wants me to be.

(above) The goal of this interior design was to uphold the overall aesthetic of the Kiawah neighborhood—Ocean Palms—which sought to incorporate elements of old-world charm. Because of this, Linda and her husband, Jim, chose wooden island countertops, natural wood cabinets, and traditional accents, like the light fixture and the range hood. (top right) A pool table, Michael Jordan artwork, multiple televisions, and a full bar adorn the home’s man cave. (bottom right) The living room is one of Linda’s favorite spaces, although she wishes she would have requested it to be a little larger to comfortably seat her family of eight (which is constantly growing even larger as years pass).

Somewhere in all of this, Jim and I came together. It took some time.

But, I’m glad I waited and we didn’t get a divorce in the first year. We wouldn’t be together right now. I’m convinced of that. Now, he’s been really supportive of the movie, and he helps me a lot when I travel. And we’re back in the Kiawah house, so it’s like full circle for me.

This house, I’m sure, holds a very special place in your heart knowing that it’s been here through the ups and downs of your relationship with your husband. What was the goal of the house’s aesthetic when you were first building it years ago?

Linda: Well, first of all, we’re in the Ocean Palms neighborhood on Kiawah, so the community itself was supposed to have an old-world look,

114

CH+D • Summer 2016

which is different than other parts of the island. We kind of bought into that concept of style when we purchased the piece of land here. One of the things I wanted was to be able to take advantage of the views of the ocean as much as possible, so I wanted a lot of glass, windows, and decking. Any room facing the beach has a deck of some sort, and the higher you go, obviously, the better the view.

Some houses seem stuffy or museum-like, but your house feels homey. Was that part of the design?

Linda: Because we have kids and we have dogs, I wanted a house that was comfortable. I don’t ever want a house I can’t be comfortable in or where the kids can’t play and get dirty. When my kids come home—all of them—their feet are up on the cof-

fee table. I want people, if that’s how they want to sit, to just take their shoes off and stay a while. We have wood floors on the second two levels, but on the first level, we actually have stone, and that has worn really well with all the mud and everything that children and dogs bring in from outside. If you want something that looks nice but wears well with kids and animals, then the stone is amazing. Overall, I wanted it to feel warm and be livable.

So the stone was definitely a good choice. Over the years of living here, is there a particular aspect of the house that wasn’t such a good choice?

Linda: If you go in my kitchen, we have granite on all the main countertops, and we have a really, really big island. We went with wood for it. The

one area in the house that I constantly have to worry about, even though the wood is treated, is the island. If you put a glass down on it, it will make a ring. And you can’t put anything hot on the wood. It’s a whole island, and it’s big. While it’s beautiful, we would probably not have done that because that’s where the kids do their homework, and it’s where we sit. That’s the one thing that I would change. Oh, and my living room! I would make it bigger. I thought originally when we did the design that it could have been a little larger, but my husband and I didn’t push the issue. We should have. I would give the advice to anyone building to go with his or her gut, because it’s probably right.

I think what I’ve taken away from

116

CH+D • Summer 2016

building—this is the second house my husband and I have built—is that there are things you don’t need, and items that would be really nice to have. And those nice items are the practical things for me. I have two washers and dryers. It sounds silly, but with as many kids as I have, I don’t do laundry all day everyday if I can put in two loads at once. I have two dishwashers, and I would never not have two dishwashers in a kitchen. With a big family, it really helps.

These things save me time, and for me, with working and traveling, a lot of my life is about saving time.

I can only imagine that these items are incredibly helpful with a large—and growing—family. Can you tell me about your children?

Do they come home to Kiawah often?

Linda: I have six kids, and the youngest two are still at home. Lindsay and Connor are at Porter Gaud. Lindsay is a senior now, and she loves horses—that’s her passion. Connor just graduated and will be going to Boston College, near where my oldest daughter, Laura, lives. My son, Sean, is in the Newport News area getting his Ph.D. in neuropsychology. Kristin lives in the DC area, and she is a social worker. Then I have Justin, who is a hairstylist. He commutes between New York and Miami.

I’m proud of all of them. They’re all different. I have three liberal kids and three very conservative children.

The downstairs bedroom, in which Linda’s mother now resides, was once decorated for Linda’s youngest daughter, Lindsay.

I love it because we have very interesting family discussions. My husband and I have just always let them be who they are, make their own decisions, and draw their own conclusions. They’re their own people—every one of them.

Our family is really close even though everyone is dispersed. There’s a ten-year spread between Connor and the youngest of the four older kids. They’ve always been close—the youngest two and my older group. I don’t know how to explain it. They talk on the phone, and they relate with one another, especially since Connor and Lindsay have gotten older.

It’s been really hard to get everyone together since my oldest few have started having kids, and it’s difficult for me to travel with two children who are still in high school. And I travel often for Only God Can. If the film is complete, why do you still travel to work on it?

118

CH+D • Summer 2016

Linda: We’re using a particular model to promote the film, called theatrical on demand, that’s sometimes difficult to explain. If anyone does want to see the movie, there’s a button on our website to request a screening. Anybody can do this, and we’ll open a screening at a theater that’s local to whoever has requested it. But, by two weeks prior, we have to have sold a certain number of tickets in order for the screening to happen. We’ve been very successful with it, but it’s not a method that many are familiar with. So I still travel to work on screenings—and to work with people requesting the screenings—all over the country.

What’s next for Entertainment?

You

Linda: Well, we've been promoting, Only God Can through social media, and it has been a success. I’ve built an audience for inspiring or faith-based films, and I do plan to make more movies. I will only produce something that has a good message, though. My inten-

tion is also to highlight and empower women. I’m reading more scripts now, and I think that if I can find one that I feel accomplishes that, I would jump on it in a second.

I do feel like God has opened up all these doors for me, and I don’t know why. I seriously don’t know why he chose me to make a faith-based film. I know that I have to do this right, and I have to do it the best I can. Because I’ve been given this great opportunity, I want to take it as far as I can. ★

CUSTOM HOMES

What were the homeowners’ main requests when they approached you to design this home, and how did you fulfill those requests? The chosen site had spectacular panoramic views of the Kiawah and Stono Rivers where they merge. The immediate challenge was that the Kiawah Island Architectural Review Board had placed restrictions on the house’s size and where it could be located, and the board did not agree with what the potential owners desired. We did some preliminary design work which convinced them that what we were attempting would be successful, so the client bought the property based on the ARB’s preliminary design approval. Beyond that, the clients wanted an unassuming, casual house inside and

out. To achieve this, the exterior massing is a simple cross gable arrangement with a wrap-around porch embracing it.

What other companies helped you out with this project? Sifly Fine Custom Homes, Lisa Anderson Interiors, and Bill Maneri, Landscape Architect

What is your favorite design feature of the home? The fact that we took advantage of the property's spectacular views.

What specific details make this home stand out from other homes in the Lowcountry? It has casual elegance that is a reflection of the clients and their reserved demeanor.

How does the home interact with its natural surroundings? With very little contrasting trim, muted colors, and the lack of applied ornamentation, the house melds well with the landscape.

Why was it important to use an architect for this project?

I believe that one of the main reasons you hire an architect is so that your house is a portrait of your personality.

CUSTOM HOMES

What were the homeowners’ main requests when they approached you to design this home, and how did you fulfill those requests? The homeowners wanted a first-floor master suite. The original house did not have a grand living space so we created one and reworked the kitchen (all new) to open into the great room. The owners wanted to see into the backyard gardens through a piazza, so we designed the great room with multiple windows and French doors low enough that they can sit and still see the grounds. The piazza wraps around the great room, and with a screened area, it is easily used throughout most of the year.

What is your favorite design feature of the home? My favorite design feature is

Square Footage: 4,100 Rooms: 4 Bedrooms / 3.5 Bathrooms

the entry vestibule. The original entry into the house swung the door into the existing stair and did not leave enough room to maneuver. I designed the new vestibule to push out onto the existing portico. With multiple sidelights perpendicular to the door, you get a grander feel, as well as much more light into that space.

What specific details make this home stand out from other homes in the Lowcountry?

This home had, and still has, a very wellproportioned front elevation. I believe, with the addition of the entry vestibule, as well as the creation of a sunroom on the left side of the house, we have truly enhanced the detail of the house while keeping its scale pleasing. I still enjoy driving by this house in the evening

and seeing how the new interior lighting and portico lights set off the structure and details.

How does the home interact with its natural surroundings? This home has the attractive southern feel that I intend for all of my houses to have. The house fits into its surrounding environment easily, being in line with the original vision, in both style and scale, of the master plan.

Why was it important to use an architect for this project?

A good architect is a must on any substantial refurbishment, remodel, or addition.

The home incorporates a combination of siding materials, all of which are cementatious, which have proven to be very durable in our wet climate. The use of open wood trusses and column details gives the exterior design a craftsman appeal, which also translates into the interior details.

How does the home interact with its natural surroundings? The house is comfortable

with its site. The plan organization complements the natural vegetation. The exterior views and the orientation of the house are both very successful and create an overall spectacular result.

Why was it important to use an architect for this project?

The owner reviewed us on our Houzz website and stated that we, as the architect, became their partner and, time and time again, we found solutions to the issues they encountered. The client could not imagine this project without our leadership.

CUSTOM HOMES

What were the homeowners’ main requests when they approached you to design this home, and how did you fulfill those requests? The homeowners’ main requests were to open up the floor plan of the 1960s house, to create a third floor office and guest suite, to add an elevator, and to create a better connection between the house and the garden. The existing roof of the house was reframed at a higher pitch to allow more space in the attic to create the office and guest suite, and to allow the necessary clearance for the elevator to reach the new floor. From the den, a sunroom has been added into the garden to give a direct indoor-outdoor connection that had been missing. Above the sunroom is a deck from the new master bedroom, providing great views of the new Shelia Wertimer designed garden.

Square Footage: 4,500 Rooms: 5 Bedrooms, 4.5 Bathrooms

What is your favorite design feature of the home? My favorite design feature of the home is the creation of a new master bedroom suite that takes advantage of the views of the garden.

With the addition of numerous windows, the suite is flooded with cheerful daylight.

What other companies helped you out with this project? Wertimer and Associates, Harper Finucan of Harper James Finucan, Kolbe Gallery Windows and Doors, Albert Parker, and The French Thistle

What specific details make the home stand out from other homes in the Lowcountry?

What makes this house truly unique is its setting. It is tucked away in the South of Broad neighborhood at the end of an alley, giving it a sense of privacy and refuge from the hubbub of downtown Charleston.

Why was it important to use an architect for this project?

How does the home interact with its natural surroundings? The house interacts with the garden through the sunroom. With floor-toceiling glass and gracious brick steps leading to the garden, the sunroom feels as much part of the garden as it does part of the house.

It was important for the homeowners to hire an architect because of the sensitive design required for a house with an unusually shaped lot located in the historic district of Charleston that requires approvals from the Board of Architectural Review, as well as zoning and building code variances.

CUSTOM HOMES

What were the homeowners’ main requests when they approached you to design this home, and how did you fulfill those requests? They wanted a small house that would allow them to pay for the house with cash, so they could retire with very little living expenses (no mortgage and low-cost utilities). They wanted a house that had a strong connection to the ecology of the site.

What is your favorite design feature of this home? The house doesn’t feel small with features like tall windows and ceilings, lots of windows, transoms over interior doors for more light, and a panoramic view.

Square Footage: 750 Rooms: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom

The home's long axis is parallel to the creek, and I love the small bridge from the screened porch to the adjacent berm next to the creek.

What specific details make the home stand out from other homes in the Lowcountry? Its size, minimal removal of trees (only ones in the footprint, and those in bad shape) and a very strong relationship connection to the site and amenities.

What other companies helped you out with this project? Great Southern Builders The Muhler Company, Buck Lumber, Lowes, and Home Depot

Why was it important to use an architect for this project?

The homeowner felt that the design process was critical to the project—that it was the thing from which all others stemmed, and it needed to be done in a thoughtful and conscientious way.

Tips for Excellent Outdoor Living Protect Against Zika

Avoid Cleaning Your Gutters

News about the spread of the Zika Virus has been ubiquitous on TV, the internet, and Facebook newsfeeds since its first appearance in the Americas. We took a moment to speak with Graduate Entomologist Bert Snyder from Palmetto Exterminators and Palmetto Mosquito Control about the mosquito-carried virus.

Why is the Zika Virus so dangerous?

Zika Virus is spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes in the Aedes genus, the same mosquitoes that carry dengue fever and chikungunya.

Zika causes mild flu-like symptoms in about twenty percent of infected people. However, the main concern is for pregnant women because Zika has been linked to microcephaly, a birth defect associated with underdevelopment of the head and brain.

How can people, especially women, protect themselves from the virus?

Everyone should take steps to protect their skin from mosquito bites by applying insect repellant containing at least twenty-percent DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon-eucalyptus. Also, they should consider wearing long pants, long-sleeved shirts, and closed-toe shoes. Homeowners should identify and eliminate sources of standing water on their property.

Make Your Space Accessible

Will a backyard mosquito treatment help to keep the virus at bay?

Homeowners who are concerned about mosquito activity in their own yards should contact a licensed pest control operator to discuss mosquito prevention and treatment options. Licensed pest control operators are trained to identify and treat for mosquitoes in residential settings in order to significantly reduce the mosquito population in one’s own backyard.

QUICK GUIDE TO

STORM PROTECTION How can I protect my WINDOWS and DOORS? Windows and doors should always be protected with special care. If the airtight seal of your home is broken (when a window or door is broken), strong gusts can enter the envelope, creating enough pressure to force a roof to detach from a home. There are several stylish options, ranging from impact-rated glass to roll-down shutters.

When purchasing shutters, make sure that the material is impact-resistant for maximum protection. Want to take your protection a step further? Consider a hurricane-strength garage door.

QUICK GUIDE TO

STORM PROTECTION How can I protect my ROOF?

Where To Shop

A home’s roof is integral in keeping your belongings safe and dry.

In a storm, strong winds can strip a roof of its shingles, leading to catastrophic water damage. Harper Construction installs Duration Shingles with SureNail Technology by Owens Corning that can withstand winds up to a hundred miles per hour. Also, did you know that installing spray-foam insulation in your attic’s roofline not only lowers your power bills, but also it acts as an adhesive, essentially gluing your roof to your home’s exterior walls? The innovative insulation serves as a key component in home hurricane protection. Don’t forget to keep your trees’ limbs and branches trimmed back—especially those that may stretch over your roofline—to prevent storm damage.

EcoFoam Insulation & Coatings (843) 645-2300 ecofoaminsulations.com

How can I protect my FOUNDATION? The foundation of a home can actually work to combat flooding that often accompanies a hurricane. If you have a crawl space, consider installing foundation flood vents. Along with a great insurance discount, the vents prove to be highly valuable during a storm as they prevent water-pressure buildup underneath the home.

How can I keep the POWER on during the storm?

Major storms are known to knock power out of an area for days— even weeks. During Hurricane Hugo in 1989, power outages lasted nearly a month in some rural areas of South Carolina.

A backup generator (or a standby generator that automatically turns on if electricity is lost) is a must. It will allow you to perform essential tasks—like cooking and charging cell phones for emergency calls—and remain comfortable through the eye of the storm.

To check on power outages in your area call, Berkeley Electric Cooperative (843) 559-2458 berkeleyelectric.coop

SCE&G (843) 523-8242 sceg.com

How can I protect my WALLET? Each item of home hurricane protection is a valuable investment in the long run. However, nothing can possibly be more comforting than knowing you have an insurance policy that will help cover any storm damages to your home. Speak with your insurance agent to make sure you have the best coverage. Living in Charleston, the question is never if a high-category hurricane will hit, but when.

Making the Restaurant Possible

By Claire Nellums

The Lowcountry’s very own 1st Class Painting and Restoration has had the honor of partnering with the television show Restaurant: Impossible Ambush for two different episodes. The first featured Pointer’s Grill just outside of Savannah, Georgia. The other was an episode for SiP, near Raleigh, North Carolina. For both projects, Tommy Welch and his team worked with Chef Robert Irvine, who hosts the show, to help revamp both restaurants by sprucing them up with bright new paint jobs and other restoration work. For Pointer’s Grill, they were in charge of painting both the full interior and exterior to create a rustic atmosphere; for SiP, they provided a full interior coat to contribute to the new vibe of the restaurant’s space.
