Inspiration: Coastal Colors in Bluffton, South Carolina

We spent a week on Hilton Head Island. The little town of Bluffton, just over the bridge from Hilton Head has all these charming little houses. They are also building a lot of new houses with the same Low Country Coastal style.

There is a LOT of new construction since the last time we visited Bluffton. The new businesses fit right in with lovely colors and contrasting trim.

I love the yellow with white and grey. And the mint green with contrasting pink is a fun color combination that really works in the low country.

I really love this house.

This house has a pale grey metal roof. The shiplap siding is turquoise blue. The chimney and trim are creamy white.

This whole block is a row of new townhouses. They are richer in tone than most of the older homes, but the colors really work with the contrasting trim and shutters.

Each connecting townhome is a different color. The facades work together without matching.

Oh my goodness! I don’t know what the story is with this house but Wow! The clapboard is white. The trim is rich chocolatey brown and grey with bright pink shutters and accents.

I want to know what the story is with this house.

Well I can’t believe it! This is NOT an old house! I found it on Google Maps and look!

This house was under construction April 2016. If you click and drive down the little road next to it, it shows an even earlier view and this is a vacant lot with a For Sale sign on it.

The sign says Atlantean Design Group.

Hard to believe.
