Did we succeed? Here&#8217;s what the client had to say&#8230;<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I approached MDI wanting to create an historical second home in Downtown Charleston.\u00a0 Not only did I trust their knowledge of more traditional design, they created a process that suited my busy schedule.\u00a0 Following one initial meeting, MDI sent me weekly packages with scenarios for each room including fabric samples, trims, etc. Once I made selections, they made it happen. The process was effortless.\u00a0The final product was better than I could have imagined.\u00a0The first floor exudes the sophisticated, historical elements where I am proud to entertain while the second floor gives me a comfortable, masculine space where I can relax.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With the introduction of some exquisite antiques and traditional draperies, this house became the perfect Historical Charleston getaway. These are a few detailed shots that didn&#8217;t make it to the website.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1038\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption align-left\"><a href=\"\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1038\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1038\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1038 \" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/83Tradd5259-1.jpg\" alt=\"Detail of Settee\"\/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1038\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This settee is the perfect size for a small living room. Rich silks and velvets adorn the settee, draperies and pillows. For the windows, we called for swags and jabots&#8230;.a traditional means of treating a window. The windows were deep and allowed for the window treatments to be inset. There was specific thought and detail put into just how many folds would be in the jabots and how much lining would be revealed. So very many decisions!<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1040\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1040\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1040\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1040 \" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/83Tradd5271-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1040\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Another window detail&#8230;with Charleston houses often being quite close together, we needed to address privacy on this stairwell window without blocking out too much light. We took a layered approach; sheers are the base and are polished off with a swag and jabots. The window is soft and easy. It does not close in the tight staircase.<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_1045\" style=\"width: 490px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1045\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1045\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1045 \" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/83Tradd5290-1.jpg\" alt=\"View from Master to Master Bath\"\/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1045\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Looking from the master dressing room and towards the master bathroom, we chose to coordinate the space by using wallpaper in various patterns but compatible colorways.
