I've just returned from an extensive photo shoot at Christophe Harbour, St. Kitts. It's been over a year since my last visit and what a year it has been on the island: the announcement of a major new villa project, commencement of construction on the Park Hyatt, further excavation of the marina. But for me, the main attractions were the new homes that have recently been complete. Their aesthetic foreshadows the future architectural vision of Christophe Harbour—and it's spectacular.

Photo Friday: Daydreaming of a Certain Caribbean Isle this Cold January Weekend
The 70-degree temperatures on Kiawah this week reflect the generally mild season we've enjoyed this year. In the next few days, however, freezing temperatures will give us our first real taste of winter. With heaters kicking in and fireplaces lighting for the first time all year, it seems an appropriate moment to think about our good friends on the Eastern Caribbean island of Saint Kitts.
An Update on the New River Course Clubhouse
Construction of The River Course Clubhouse is in the final stages and moving forward with rapid momentum. By early November, a third of the rooms are slated to be completed with the remainder of the structure to be finalized by late November. Nationally recognized interior designer, Atlanta-based Jackye Lanham, along with interior architect, Stan Dixon, have meticulously and laboriously studied each facet of the building to ensure that the Clubhouse becomes, once again, the cornerstone of the Kiawah Island Club. Having designed the interiors in both the Cassique Clubhouse and The Lodge at Doonbeg, Lanham and Dixon have a rich history with Kiawah Partners and have brought with them a vast amount of knowledge and experience in both residential and commercial design to Kiawah Island.
The Kiawah Island Club recently sat down with Jackye Lanham to discuss the redesign of The River Course Clubhouse.
