Darlington Downtown Revitalization Association presented the residential Pride of Darlington award to homeowners Danny and Kimberly Purvis for their stylish revamp of a basic brick ranch home on Spring Street.
“It was a blank slate,” Kimberly says of the home the family moved into six years ago.
Improvement projects tackled by Danny, Kim and their son Dylan included a new olive green paintjob and black Bahama shutters to give the house a relaxed, beachy feel. Landscaping was also a labor of love, and the cultivated a variety of flora, like roses, mums, Japanese maples, ferns, ivy, Indian hawthorne, banana trees, nandinas, cedars, crape myrtles and palm trees.
