Historic Charleston Piazzas
According to Charleston Magazine, “The Holy City still uses the 17th-century term “piazza”—which comes from the Italian word meaning “open space”—instead of the more common “porch” or “veranda.” The unique verbage seems rather appropriate when you consider that the Charleston single house piazza is a distinctive example of vernacular architecture—design based on local needs, culture, and tradition.”

There is something about a porch that is so welcoming. I love my porch and am fortunate that it is on two sides, so I can pick sun or shade. When house hunting, no porch is a no go. It functions not only as a sitting area but adds curb appeal to your home.
Enjoy your weekend,

Truly – and something about “Mockingbird” is so alive and well in my memories of childhood. Feels like yesterday, and I can remember just where I was, sights, smells, and sounds as I listened to it. Thanks so much for reading.
Thanks for Carly and James! Brought me right back to my childhood! I couldn’t stop smiling 🙂 And as always, thank you too for all the beauty and inspiration!

Love me some Carly Simon & James Taylor! This takes me back to my HS Sr trip and listening to Your So Vain on 8 track tape all the way to the beach! Haha!

Hahahaha – oh my word I do remember the first time I heard You’re So Vain on AM radio in the family station wagon!!! Those were such wonderful days packed with so many sweet memories, bare feet, long hair, and a very relaxed vibe!
