Architect Stan Dixon created this spectacular home on Kiawah Island, South Carolina for his interior designer friend Jackye Lanham. It is relaxed and casual but with touches of elegance and grandeur, and was designed to have carriage house vibes as if it had been there since the 1700s. Elements such as Gothic Revival-style arched doors, windows and shutters, charcoal-gray limestone blocks floors, rough-hewn wood plank floorboards, the neutral palette and lots of antiques really make this home classic, traditional and timeless.
