Keeping Up With King Street
This week I visited Ann Reinert’s Yellow Door Gallery on King Street, just upstairs from the Reinert LePrince Fine Art Gallery at 179 King. I wanted to see the MJ Green archival metal prints featured at the last 2nd Sunday on King Street, before they were all gone. Green’s unusual treatment of black and white captured my attention wasn’t printed on metal, “The Bridge 1” is a dramatic black and white photograph on paper featuring the Ravenel Bridge boldly shot from below. One might think a bridge is a bridge, but ours has a way of playing with light so much so that it looks different every day. MJ caught it looking ethereal. She obviously loves it too.
The Yellow Door Gallery has other wall art, some by Reinert’s famous impressionist husband Rick, and those bold colors and textures are expertly presented with wearable, tasteful items like jewelry, scarves and even bath products. You can tell Ann is having fun with this place. Vintage-inspired hand crafted jewelry by Robin Goodfellow Designs features colorful swirls of crystals, rhinestones, and pearls along with glass and metal beads. Rick Hunter, Scott Simmons, and Otter Rotolante contribute handblown and torchworked glass in a rainbow of colors that float invisibly on window shelves for a striking effect.
Zagat just named Monza's pizza the best pie in South Carolina in their "50 States, 50 Pizzas" list- specifically Monza's Vanwall special.
"Named after a legendary Italian raceway, Monza’s racecar theme may not be the classic Italian atmosphere of most pizzerias, but there’s no doubt they take their pies seriously. The Neapolitan pies feature locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, and a good part of their appeal lies in the crust. The dough is made with imported San Felice wheat flour and natural Neapolitan yeast, then wood-fired at 1,000 degrees. The Vanwall Special features local white shrimp, pesto, mozzarella and tomatoes, and you can taste all that attention to detail."
Celebrate pizza week at Monza, located at 51 King Street in the Upper King Design District. 843.720.8787
The Real Estate Studio of Dunes Properties' agent Jason Peé has several new construction homes going up on Aiken Street on the East Side of the Charleston Peninsula. Check out the listing and pictures for 39 Aiken St- what a great view of the Ravenel Bridge in a neighborhood that is truly transforming!
The Eastside of Charleston is a great location with easy access to the Ravenel Bridge as well as I26. This wonderful neighborhood is rich with history and culture: in the late 1700's it was one of the 1st planned real estate developments in Charleston before the war.
This new home at 39 Aiken St. is just 2 blocks from the Cigar Factory and will have a great view of the Ravenel Bridge from the 2nd floor porch as well as the 3rd floor. It will have a large garage (rare) in addition to a private outside space. On the first floor you will find a very clean and open floor plan with a custom kitchen that includes granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

floors. The second floor has 2 bedrooms with nice size closets as well as a full bath. The third floor is a spectacular private master suite. The en-suite master bath will have a large walk-in shower and a double sink vanity.
