We are proud to support the Historic Charleston Foundation, and their mission of preservation, over the past two years they have celebrated the holiday season with Illumination Charleston, a series of events centered around history, design, architecture, and the beloved Aiken-Rhett House, where designers are invited to put their spin on the historic space. “Designers and vignettes must compliment the space and pay homage to the delicate history and fragile physical environment in which they will be stated,” says HCF’s Roualeyn de Haas in a recent Veranda feature. “With preservation as inspiration, the vignettes are a reinterpretation of a preserved and historical space using contemporary design.”
While all the designers and tastemakers blew us away with their designs, we're still swooning over Interior designer Cortney Bishop’s take on the double parlor which she filled with #fritzporterfinds and other artisan pieces that brought a contemporary touch to this historic estate, let's get the look.
