We’d like to introduce you to Abigail Carr Botero, MDI’s Design Assistant, Design Librarian, and Office Assistant. Abigail was born in Locust, North Carolina, a small town east of Charlotte. When Abigail says “small town” she means it. There were “a whopping 4 stop lights in the whole city,” she says.

Fripp Island Oceanfront
Today we have a wonderful home tour of one of our recent projects on Fripp Island. This oceanfront property has a sophisticated, island elegance.

Kiawah Island Sip & See
Today we’re taking you along on our recent Kiawah Island home Sip & See tour. When we finish a design project, we host a small gathering at the client’s home.
