Plantation Home Tours

Touring homes is one of my favorite things to do, especially historic homes.

Most every spring Mr. Heart and I head to Georgetown, SC for the Plantation Tour.

Most of the homes on the tour are historic.  Some are in the heart of town and others are a little drive out and located on old rice plantations.  There are some newer homes that have been built on an old plantation homestead and they are built and decorated to with the same charm of the historic homes.  I especially like that many are still owned and lived in by decedants of the original owners and we often get to meet the owners which is really nice.

Decorated with antiques, crystal chandeliers, exquisite woodwork, ceiling medallions, and wide plank flooring, they are all BEAUTIFUL.  I wish so much that I could share with you pictures of the furnishings, but no pictures are allowed to be taken inside the homes.

Old live oak trees, dogwoods and azaleas make for the perfect setting.  This year because of the cold winter, the azaleas and dogwoods weren't in full bloom.

I love the detail of the woodwork and the stained glass windows.
The gas lantern on the right side of the door is glowing bright.

This is the first time this home has been on the tour.  It was in very poor condition when the owners purchased it in 2005.  They have completed a major renovation and it is gorgeous!

 Aren't the leaded glass doors beautiful!

This last home wasn't on the tour this year but has been in the past and it's one of my favorites. The exterior is beautiful and the interior is decorated in a way that says "welcome home".  Traditionally decorated, elegant, inviting, and comfortable, I love it! 

Hope you enjoyed, there are more to share soon!
