We recently had the pleasure of working with a wonderful client on a three-space interior redesign that beautifully blended her Southern roots with timeless elegance. With a home full of character—thanks to her treasured antiques, heirlooms, and carefully curated artwork—our role was all about refining the spaces, tying them together, and allowing the pieces she loved to truly shine.
A Living Room Full of Stories
Living Room - After
The living room was the heart of the home, rich with personal history. Our client had an incredible collection of antique furniture and vintage accessories passed down through generations. Rather than starting from scratch, we embraced these pieces, creating a space that feels both lived-in and elevated. By rearranging, editing, and layering in classic Southern textures and colors, we brought warmth, symmetry, and balance to a room that now invites conversation and relaxation.
Dining Room: A Place to Gather
In the dining room, we focused on creating a welcoming and elegant space for hosting family dinners and special occasions. Vintage china shine in her antique hutches and the buffet server is now ready to entertain. With rich, grounded hues and subtle nods to Southern tradition, the space now feels formal without being fussy—a perfect blend of charm and function.
Basement Airbnb: Cozy, Clean, and Guest-Ready
Basement Airbnb - After
For the basement Airbnb suite, which includes a family room, dining nook, and kitchen, the goal was transformation. We helped the client declutter and depersonalize the space without losing its warmth. With a cozy layout, neutral tones, and soft, layered textures, the suite now feels like a boutique retreat. Guests can enjoy the comfort of home while appreciating a clean and calming atmosphere that still whispers of Southern hospitality.
Designing with Purpose and Personality
This project was a reminder that some of the best design stories begin with what clients already have. Our job was simply to guide the vision, create cohesion, and highlight the soul of the home. With a blend of old and new, each space now tells a story—rooted in history, styled for today.
