Historic Homes & Restoration

There is something that happens the moment you walk into a home that has stood for a hundred years or more. You feel it before you can name it. The proportions are generous. The materials are honest.The rooms carry memory in their bones.

Restoring a historic home in Summerville, Charleston, or anywhere along the South Carolina Lowcountry corridor is one of the most meaningful and layered projects a designer and homeowner can undertake together, and it is work I love deeply.

In these posts, you will find guidance on honoring the original architecture of an older home while weaving in the comfort and function a modern family needs. We will talk through everything from sourcing period-appropriate materials and salvaged finishes to navigating the realities of working within a historic district.

Whether you are just beginning to understand what you have in an antebellum cottage or you are mid-renovation on a Craftsman bungalow, this is a space built for you.
