We recently photographed a creekfront renovation on James Island for a young couple we’ve had the pleasure of working with over the last year. After moving in, they realized it was time to begin renovations to update the home to better fit their needs and tastes. Here’s a sneak peek of the finished product and some before & afters.
Kitchen renovation
[Before] To describe this view in one word – outdated.
[After] – Open and spacious, great for the foodies.
Solarium
[Before] Mostly sparse, especially after the Christmas decorations were removed.
[After] We love the contrasting reds and blues here. The pillow fabric was inspired by this chest, which was a Christmas gift for the couple.
This floral detailing led to opting for Clarence House’s flowering quince outlined in aqua for the pillows.
This glazed linen from Stroheim & Romin made beautiful window treatments.
Master Bathroom renovation
[Before] The Barney bathroom in signature 80’s mauve
Adrian’s custom design for the shower and bathroom floor.
[After] Bye bye, Barney
Italian bottocinni tile and river rock make for a very natural shower.
Master Window Treatment
These woven bamboo roman shades nestled against the panels make a striking focal point. Although not as striking as this amazing view from the master balcony.
Dining Room
Adrian designed this custom reclaimed barnwood dining table. Environmentally friendly and attractive!
Contrasting piping from Cowtan & Tout proves to be a simple way to enhance these upholstered parsons chairs.
Contractor: Archer Development, Joe Lobert
Kitchen Company: Carolina Kitchens, Sheryl Greenberg

We just completed a small furniture installation for an on-going project in Riverland Terrace for a great couple we’re working with. Complete with new wainscotting and custom cabinetry and now new furnishings, we’re well on our way to completing the room.

Fabric inspiration
To complement their existing decor and color palette, we chose earthy tones that were inspired by this botanical print from Schumacher. To keep the look classic, yet current, we worked in a geometric lattice print for the pillows in the chairs along with this driftwood lamp that works well in the space.
And one of the reasons we love doing this so much…this email in our inbox Friday evening from our client:
“Everything looks fabulous! We even had some friends over tonight and were able to test the furniture out. So comfortable and exactly what we wanted! Thanks for everything!”
We’ll keep you posted on progress as this project continues to unfold.

Things are moving along very well with our new construction project in Mt. Pleasant. We wanted to share some updated pictures of the home. View the original post to see the progress.
Have a great weekend! We’ll share more images when they’re available.

We wanted to share a project we’re working on currently with architect Jamey Arthur, of Sceltas Design build (previously with Cobb Architecture), for a young couple set to wed in St. John this fall. Jamey designed this home with a rustic contemporary twist to the traditional craftsman style. We’ll keep you posted as the building continues.
Here’s a preview of the exterior colors.
For dramatic appeal, Jamey designed a cathedral ceiling that comes to view soonafter walking through a charming window-lined hallway soaked in sunlight. Here are a couple of images of the progression of the living room’s substantial fireplace.

We recently completed and photographed an installation at a penthouse in Bee St. Lofts. Our client asked us to soften the space as the ceilings are 20 ft. high, making it feel like a gymnasium at times. So, Adrian put her unique style into the furnishings thinking of an eclectic, yet comfortable approach to this urban dwelling.

Previously decorated by a well-known Charleston designer, John Ragsdale, this family home’s new owners enlisted our services to introduce their furnishings while preserving elements from the original design. As you can see the previous owner loved vibrant colors and our clients want a toned-down palette that will still accentuate the beautiful, hand-painted finials by John herself.
We’ve always admired old farmhomes and are excited about working on this one. Here’s an exterior shot and a picture of their eye-catching pet peacocks! More pictures to come as renovation begins.
