publisher’s note T
he Southeast is the fastest growing region in the country, and there are plenty of reasons why. Te weather can’t be beat, our shoreline is beautiful and outdoor activities abound, but the people who live
here are the most important reason to love the Southeast.
When we started thinking about ideas for the Carolina Homes & Interiors Extreme Makeover Home Edition issue, the popular TV show had just completed its taping in Beaufort County, S.C. Extreme Makeover brings out the best of our region. Seeing everyone pull together to help families who really need help is special.
You can take a more in-depth look at Extreme Makeover on the websites that are part of our popular builder network at
www.SouthCarolinaBuilders.com/Network. At several of the sites in the network, you can watch a video of our candid interview with members of the Suggs family. Tey explain what was going through their hearts and minds when Ty Pennington led his “move that bus” cheer. We hope you enjoy reading about the builders and businesses that have brought out the best of the Southeast. One of the builders, Signature Homes of Myrtle Beach, has participated in three Extreme Makeover projects.
Members of the Suggs family were our special guests at the Carolina Living Show in Myrtle Beach. Tis issue features a special section, “Life in the Carolinas,” which includes articles on the Carolina Living Show, the Brunswick County Home Show and other events we produce along the Carolina coast. Many exhibitors who were at the show have tips for homeowners that you might want to read. Carolina Homes & Interiors always is the official publication for these events; a copy is direct-mailed to everyone who attends.
In this issue, you can read about Te Ponds, developed in Summerville by Greenwood Communities and Resorts, which has produced some of the Carolinas’ best neighbor- hoods. You also can enjoy an article on Buffington Homes and a client who is building a magnificent Kiawah Island home.
Speaking of Kiawah Island, for the next year, we’ll be giving away tickets to the PGA Championship, which will be held there in 2012. All you have to do is fill out the official registration form inside this magazine.
Until next time, enjoy our magazines and our websites, and remember to go green by reading online at

Enjoy.
