angie hranowsky


I have long admired local Charleston interior designer, Angie Hranowsky. Her stuff is ahhhh-mazing and I would move into any house she has designed in a second. Just knowing she was a local resident was cool enough for me but then yesterday I found myself seated right next to her at the nail place while we were both drying our pedicures. I kind of did a double take because I'd only seen a few photos of her - typically I just see photos of the interiors she's designed. But there I was, totally star struck, just drying my nails.

It's also funny because when I went to her website I realized the header for this blog is very similar to her logo. I don't recall seeing it before I designed this header but maybe I subconsciously had it in the back of my brain as an inspiration piece without even knowing it?

Anyway, here are some photos of her work. Love, love, love all of these!


This is the interior of a wine bar in Charleston called Enoteca....

And I LOVE this living room. Kind of island, kind of modern, but comfy and easy to live in

Love the tile in the kitchen. It has a Moroccan vibe without being overly stylized

This is my all time favorite boys room {which I believe belongs to her son}. That fabric on the window shade was a recent inspiration for a painting I did {it's vintage maramekko fabric, by the way}. Love the blue stripes, love the cowboy print, love the rug and the window shade...

hicks pendant

I have been seeing this pendant lamp everywhere in the blog world recently and am completely and totally in love with it. I saw it for the first time on Sketch 42 and I think I literally gasped when I first saw it. I love the nautical influence, large size, heavy chain and despite seeing it all over the place recently, I still think it is a unique light to use in a kitchen. It's certainly not your typical overhead light.

Now if only I had a place to hang it, the hicks pendant and I would be in business....

long time, no post

I'm neglectful, yes. But it's not that I haven't thought about posting....

Regardless, I'm determined to post more regularly in March and beyond. Perhaps not evey day, but frequently, as the inspiration strikes.

So to make up for my neglect, here is a photo of what I think may be my all time favorite interior. You may have seen it around the blogs over the years {it's not new}. I've come across it a million times but always come back to it for the awesome chalkboard wall, drum lights, doors to outside, wide plank hardwood floors, farm table and overall simplicity. There isn't too much going on here and I LOVE that. When you add in the food, people, wine, etc. the space will most certainly help fill it all up.
