Darius Rucker had a blast renovating an historic mansion in his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina for The Design Network earlier this year, and it turned out beautifully. He did casually mention, however, that he felt the 1700s home may be haunted.
“Oh, I slept in there a couple nights, and you could feel it,” Darius says with a laugh. “You could feel it. You know it, but of course it is. It was built in the 1700s. The first night I was laying there, and I turned the TV off, and the TV goes into the ceiling. I turned the TV off, and I was there for three-minutes, and I could feel it. It’s an old house and it starts creaking and everything, and I got up and put my shoes on and ran back outside to my other house.”
With an eye for design and innate love of Charleston, Darius and his design team tackled the restoration of this home one room at a time, while also stopping by some of the city’s finest establishments. He also showcased the best parts of Charleston’s vibrant culture, meeting up with local chefs, entrepreneurs, fishermen and friends as he highlights some of the top attractions in the area, from generations of tea growers to the many outdoor activities this city by the sea has to offer.
Darius recently released “Ol’ Church Hymn,” featuring trio Chapel Hart. He co-wrote the song with Ben Hayslip, Josh Miller and Greylan James.
