If you’re ready to add a bit of color to the exterior of your house, consider a unique color for your front door. These were examples I found in Charleston that really spice up these houses.

I will really miss this house!

Karen Menge, ASID — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 05:00:13 +0000

As professional designers, we often work very closely with our clients in building or renovating their homes. We agonize over every decision for wiring, plumbing, wood trim, flooring, and tile as well as the “pretty” ones with fabric, wallpaper, furniture, and paint, as if they were our own. These houses become a part of us, […]

We are being dragged into the 21st century by the changes in our lighting supplies. Whoever thought buying a simple light bulb could be so difficult!! The choices and terminology are confusing at best. You can’t just grab a package of light bulbs at Publix anymore and know what you are getting. On many of […]

One, Two, Three…”Will It Move With Me?”

lhough — Thu, 28 Jan 2016 06:50:59 +0000

One, Two, Three…three houses later and the furniture still works. It began in a client’s first home. The living room needed updating with a completely new color scheme. Slipcovering the sofa and recovering the club chairs in soft blues and greens gave the room a fresh new look. As soon as the furniture was installed, our client moved into a new home on […]

“Flipping A House” Takes on New Meaning

Carol Hamilton — Thu, 10 Dec 2015 06:34:00 +0000

The expression “flipping a house” takes on new meaning in this historic home renovation. When our clients purchased this traditional house, they realized very quickly that it was not functional for their lifestyle. They love to cook and entertain, but there was no access to the side yard and every room was dark and closed off from […]

When To Use An Antique Rug

Pam Plowden Rawson, ASID — Thu, 30 Jul 2015 03:54:18 +0000

However, it’s not always possible to find the correct color, style, or size – especially when you need a large one, as shown here. The interior of this Charleston parlor (featured in Fall/Winter 2012 Elegant Homes), with it’s beautifully restored […]

“Thank you, Dad”

Carol Hamilton — Thu, 18 Jun 2015 05:50:51 +0000

Recently, I finished reading the book, “The Art Forger” by Barbara A. Shapiro, and the memories it stirred up have been both a surprise and a gift. The story centers on the heist of millions of dollars of artwork, including an important Degas painting, from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, in Boston in March of 1990. My […]

As an interior designer, every day at work is different - we never know what challenges a project will bring. Recently we were called upon to help a prestigious South Carolina law firm complete their lobby. They had worked with an architect to convert their warehouse space into an office, however the concrete lobby floor, cool paint colors, and […]
