Meet Ellen Underwood

Today we’d like to introduce you to MDI’s newest member of the team, Ellen Underwood. Ellen is a native of Pawley’s Island but took a series of enviable diversions before settling down in Charleston two years ago.

Vendue Range Tour

One Vendue Range is one of Charleston’s loveliest addresses. Located in the historic French Quarter, residents have views of Waterfront Park and the harbor. We’re delighted to share our recent renovation project with you.

Dockside Home Tour

We have a unique project to share with you today. Dockside condominiums are one of Charleston’s most iconic properties. At 19 stories tall, Dockside is one of the few high-rise buildings in the Holy City. Built-in the early 1980s, the units offer incredible views of the harbor, downtown Charleston, and the Ravenel Bridge.

Color & Colorful Spaces

We’ve had a stretch of gray days in Charleston, and while our neutral color palette helps cool things off on hot days, a little bit of vibrant color goes a long way when things turn chilly. Today we’re revisiting some of our favorite colors & colorful spaces.

2nd Place ASID Award

We recently won a 2nd Place ASID Award for our Island Lifestyle project. This fun, colorful Kiawah Island vacation home quickly transitioned to a full-time residence as the owners loved the laid back lifestyle the island provided. Having space for their kids and plenty of visitors was very important for this sociable family.

An Award-Winning Home

Last month we were honored with four ASID awards for three of our recent homes. The ASID Excellence in Design Awards highlights projects about the Carolinas Chapter of ASID that successfully address client objectives, demonstrate creativity, and skillfully solve problems in interior design.

Home Tour: Marsh View

Our clients asked us to design their Kiawah Island marsh view vacation home with the natural beauty of the outdoors in mind. Taking inspiration from the colors of the marsh, ocean, and sky, we used a soft color palette of blues, spring greens of the marsh and oyster shell white. The palette is accentuated by warm woods, natural texture and metal.

Pantone Color of the Year

For the last 20 years Pantone, a cornerstone of design across industries, has announced a Color of the Year. To choose the color the company hosts representatives from various nations’ color standards groups for a two-day summit at a secret location in a European city.

Best Bunk Rooms

Bunk rooms are big news right now! There’s nothing better than the weeks or weekends that extended family and far-flung friends make time to get together at the beach house. Lazy days full of kids, grandkids, dogs, friends, and friends’ dogs make some of life’s best memories.

Meet Designing Dog, Benji

At MDI, our dogs are part of the family. We have a dog-friendly design studio and on any given day there will be at least a couple of our furry friends hanging out with us. Today we’d like to introduce you to Benji, a six-year-old Morkie Poo who belongs to Abigail, our office and design assistant.
