We renovated this family\u2019s Kiawah Island vacation home into a retirement home that showcases their love of the Lowcountry, family, and entertaining. This project began with the unique goal of keeping memories of years of family vacations alive, while also updating the space to make it feel brand new!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No space in this home was left untouched. We were given full creative freedom with material selections and worked closely with the original architect and builder. We had to think creatively to incorporate the columns, beams, and headers that were needed for structural support into the design.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our goal was to create a feeling of family belonging while also incorporating a deep connection to the island community. The clean palette with eclectic pops of color and commissioned art pieces references the outdoors, local artists, and a focus on gathering places.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10678 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MDI_Ryan_2020-96.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1536\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10663 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/charleston-interior-design-10-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Powder Room\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The oversized space of the dining room was a challenge, but quickly became a favorite. We created a welcoming atmosphere with custom buffets and original multimedia art pieces, and tied it all together with blue ceiling beams to echo the coloring of the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10670 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-charleston-interior-design.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Much of this project was designed around the unique art pieces commissioned by local artists to create a one-of-a-kind space tailored to the family\u2019s preferences and ties to the local area.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10660 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/charleston-interior-design-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Sunbather in Family Room\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10661 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/charleston-interior-design-4-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Alligator Triptych\" width=\"1707\" height=\"2560\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10662 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/charleston-interior-design-8-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Family Room Art\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10659 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/charleston-interior-design-2-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Family Room\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The kitchen is light and airy with a focus on functional workspace, top of the line appliances, and comfortable conversation areas. This light and airy feel continues into the breakfast room, with a custom contemporary chandelier and modern art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10676 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MDI_Ryan_2020-71.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10677 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MDI_Ryan_2020-74.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10681 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MDI_Ryan_2021-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a focus on family, this home needed family friendly spaces for adults and children alike to gather and enjoy each other. We were able to create this with a family game room and a custom bunk room with built in bunks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10675 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MDI_Ryan_2020-67.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10673 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/12-charleston-interior-design.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The master bedroom is its own little oasis. The specialty wall treatment contrasts beautifully with the upholstered headboard and bespoke bedding. In appreciation for Kiawah, we made sure to include a seating area to appreciate the beautiful views.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10680 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MDI_Ryan_2020-98.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"680\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10679 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/MDI_Ryan_2020-97.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A beautiful outdoor gathering space, the covered porch is another favorite.
