At the wedding I coordinated last weekend, I spent the majority of the day getting everything perfect for the ceremony and reception. The rest of the time while I was waiting on everyone to arrive, I decided to take some photos to share the gem of a place that is The Island House on John's Island. It's truly too good to not share with others!
The wedding venue is absolutely beautiful!! Stunning really...its on the water, there is a tent, but no guests are allowed inside the home. The house has the same decor as the last owners and they have not changed it; it has stayed within the family, who decided a few years ago to start using it as a wedding venue.
I definitely feel that this house has spirits, ghosts, haunted, whatever you want to call it. I could feel someone or something there with me. Not in a scary way, but just ... felt a presence.
When I first walked inside, I noticed red carpet, red furniture, then I noticed the red wall paper. It is like velvet. You can literally pet the walls!
I then noticed the bright blue kitchen. The cabinets are white, but the walls and the countertops are blue blue blue!! The floor and all lighting is also blue.
In the red room area there is a statue of a man as the captain of a boat, holding the wheel. I took a picture b/c it was disturbing. If I were a child having to live in this house, that captain would really scare me.
There are the usual things in the house like dead fish and stuffed deer heads on the wall. There's also a stoplight chandelier. Oh yes... RED, YELLOW, GREEN!! haha It's located in the second kitchen. The house is massive on the outside, but on the inside the way it is broken up, it makes it seem so small. I would love to see it remodeled, but with all of these fancy decorations, it'd be a shame to see it change too.
Last, but certainly not least, there is a bedroom downstairs with wallpaper that looks like a deck of cards. Want to wake up to the Ace of Spades? You can with this wallpaper. I have never seen anything quite like it!
Since most people don't get to see the indoor decor of the Island House unless they pay the rental fee for an event, I figured I'd share some of the photos I took below because words cannot express what photos can!!! :) Enjoy!!!
