Following many years living and operating a showroom in New York, artist and designer Rebecca Atwood<\/a> relocated to Charleston, South Carolina\u2014with her husband, Steve Bernstein, and young daughter\u2014in August 2021. The next May, Atwood<\/a> and her family moved into their current home, a 2,100-square-foot property built in the late 1930s.<\/p>\n

The majority of the Atwood contingent\u2014including Rebecca\u2019s parents and older sister, Grace, founder of the lifestyle website The Stripe<\/a>\u2014reside in Charleston. The elder Atwoods moved to the Holy City after selling their family restaurant in Dennis, Massachusetts. The sisters had both completed a six-week trial period in the city during the pandemic before deciding to bid adieu to Brooklyn for good.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew our living room was going to be green from the beginning,\u201d Atwood says. \u201cThat was something I could just visually see.\u201d She adds, \u201cI felt like walking in Charleston and the oak trees, you just feel that green. I wanted to bring that in as a way to connect and settle ourselves in a space.\u201d<\/p>\n

Atwood and Bernstein rented a place upon relocating to Charleston, using that initial time to better develop their understanding of the city. \u201cWe loved Hampton Park,\u201d Atwood says, referring to one of the largest public parks in the city. \u201cSo we thought, if anything comes on the market that\u2019s within a five-minute walk of the park, maybe we should consider it.\u201d<\/p>\n

While low interest rates were in their favor, inventory was low, and Atwood and her husband struggled getting offers accepted. \u201cWe kind of put out a call to everyone we knew,\u201d Atwood shares. \u201cWe said, \u2018Hey, if you know anybody that\u2019s going to be selling their house and they\u2019re within a five-minute walk of the park, let us know.\u2019\u201d It turned out that a photographer contact of Atwood\u2019s had a neighbor looking to sell. \u201cThe house had a good energy,\u201d Atwood reflects of her initial visit to what is now her own residence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following many years living and operating a showroom in New York, artist and designer Rebecca Atwood relocated to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":23438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[365,362,363,364,366,19828,18,117,19826,19,17,19827],"class_list":{"0":"post-23437","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-arts","9":"tag-arts-and-design","10":"tag-artsanddesign","11":"tag-artsdesign","12":"tag-design","13":"tag-domestic-home-tour","14":"tag-eire","15":"tag-entertainment","16":"tag-home-tour","17":"tag-ie","18":"tag-ireland","19":"tag-web-exclusive-home-tour"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
