Make a Statement with Your Home Entry
I'm currently designing three entries - all different sizes - and love decorating this space because it sets the mood for the entire home.

Featured Property: 1440 Glencoe Drive Old Mount Pleasant
This home will sell quickly as it's ALREADY under contract! In less than 24 hours we received multiple offers on this MORE than desirable home in Old Mount Pleasant.

Local Artist Spotlight: Peyton Avrett
Just recently I ran across some work by a talented local artist and craftsman - Peyton Avrett. I was completely blown away by this custom chandelier in Aged Silver Leaf: This custom Sawyer Chandelier stands 5' tall. [br]But, this image just sparked my investigation.

Why I Sell A Lot of Fixer-Uppers
Buying fixer-uppers. This is something my husband and I do - and have done it often - but it's also a fantastic option for my real estate clients. Have you ever considered purchasing a home and never found the PERFECT one? Well, you're not alone. This happens to so many people; but, I consider a good problem to have. There are so many wonderful properties in Charleston and Mount Pleasant that could just use a few personal touches. In the long-run, you'll end up with exactly what you want anyway.

Domain Interiors & Design Rocked Their Opening
First of all, I was really pumped about this store coming to Mount Pleasant. I met the owner, Bobbi, almost two years ago when I was pregnant with my second son. She worked at another local store, and we really hit it off. So, we always kept in touch and I felt privileged to know that a store opening was in the works.

With much anticipation I arrived, walked through the door and immediately I couldn't quit
