There is something about pulling up to a beautiful Kiawah Island home that never gets old. The lantern, the palms, the soft brick path, you feel it before you even walk through the door.

Today was all about the finishing touches. Fresh flowers, a basket of fruit on the kitchen counter, a beautiful vase on a side table, the kind of small details that make a house feel like home.

The work is in those details. The pieces themselves matter, but so does where they sit, how they catch the sun, the way a single stem can change the feeling of a whole space.

And then a quiet moment by the pool with the dunes and the ocean stretched out beyond, the kind of view that reminds you why this island is impossible to forget.

Save this for the next time you are styling your own space.

Most people don't even know events like this exist.

Sharing a peek inside the latest warehouse sale, one of my favorite spots in Charleston for finding pieces with real history.

Lisa Thomas and the DIGS team source from all over the world, and a few times a year they open the warehouse for a sale where you can score designer quality at warehouse pricing. Antique marble, vintage lighting, trunks, mirrors, the kind of finds that make a room feel collected.

If you love a good treasure hunt, follow so you don't miss the next one.

Step inside the East Bay Street project! Designers Sarah Ann Rolfes and Jennifer Vreeland McDermott have transformed this historic "blank canvas" into a light-filled, inviting sanctuary.

By blending brand-new pieces with curated antiques, they’ve created a color and pattern story that feels as if it has been here for generations.

Home Highlights:
⭐️ The Heart of the Home: A semi-professional kitchen featuring a stunning blue six-burner stove and a custom rustic island handcrafted by a local carpenter.
⭐️ Livable Luxury: A family room designed for both relaxation and entertaining by the pool, complete with durable fabrics and vintage chairs found on Chairish.
⭐️ The Primary Suite: A serene escape filled with warm peaches, lavenders, and natural tones, anchored by an original piece of artwork by Beth Rucker.

We loved collaborating to bring this home to life for our clients to enjoy with family and friends.

Breathing life into this iconic Rainbow Row home alongside@saraanninteriors. A true collaboration from start to finish, and one of the most rewarding install days.

There is something deeply satisfying about working on a home with this much history. Every room asked us to slow down, to honor what was already there, and to layer in the kind of details that make a space feel like it has always been this way. A beautifully restored plaster medallion. An antique crystal chandelier, rewired and ready for another century of dinners and quiet mornings. Fresh florals at the sink. Hand towels folded just so. The thousand small decisions that no one sees individually, but that together are the difference between a pretty room and a room that actually feels like home.

Rainbow Row has a way of pulling you in. You think you know it from the outside, those familiar pastel facades that have been photographed a million times. Then you step inside one of these homes and remember how much life has happened here, how many hands have shaped these walls, how much care it takes to bring it forward into the present without losing any of what made it special in the first place.

Sara Ann and I poured ourselves into this one. The reveal is coming soon, and I cannot wait to share it.

The details are starting to come together, and this is one of my favorite stages of a project. The bones are set, the big decisions are behind us, and now we're in the quieter work of layering in everything that makes a house actually feel like home.

The new stair runner is in, and the carpet in the living area is down. Both are doing exactly what good flooring should do, which is to set the tone without stealing the show. Texture underfoot, warmth underneath everything else, and a quiet foundation for all the layers still to come.

We also swapped out the spindles. The originals were cheap metal, completely out of step with the age and character of the house. Replacing them was one of those changes that doesn't shout, but it dramatically elevates the entire staircase and brings it back in line with the architecture.

I can't wait to show you how this ties in with the rest of the design. For now, a little preview of what's ahead.

Charleston is full of beautiful things, but the American College of the Building Arts might be one of the most remarkable and quietly extraordinary institutions in the city. It's the only accredited college in the country offering degrees in the traditional building trades, and walking through the studios reminds you just how rare and important that is.

Stone carving, timber framing, architectural carpentry, forged iron, plaster, masonry. The kind of craftsmanship that built this city, and the kind that's increasingly rare anywhere else. Every carving begins as a drawing. Every tool has its place. Students are trained not just in technique but in the history and language of architecture itself, the same knowledge that restores Charleston's historic buildings and shapes new ones with integrity.

As a designer, I think about craft constantly. The hands behind a carved cornice, the skill in a forged hinge, the care in a plaster ceiling. To know there's a place in Charleston dedicated to keeping those trades alive, and training the next generation to practice them, feels like something worth celebrating.
