School is wrapping up and the kids will be off for summer break soon. With the kids in and out, our homes tend to get a bit messy and disorganized. Without a routine, it's hard to stay on top of daily activities like keeping papers filed or mail sorted.

We talk a lot about designing the interior of your home. But we cannoot overlook the exterior - spending time on the exterior finishes and elements are a crucial part of making the overall design vision of your home come together.

Summer is right around the corner and that means warm weather, lake days, and family vacations. As in most cities, summer rocks here in Greenville, full of festivals, events, and activities for the whole family to enjoy all summer long.

Mother's Day is this weekend, but it's not too late to get a gift. We pulled together several fabulous gift options last week available in our online boutique. It was so hard to narrow down options from our wide array of gift choices so we thought we would share a few more with you today for all those last-minute shoppers.

Here's some more great gift options for Mother's Day.

One of our most popular collections of artwork for both our design projects as well as in our online boutique comes from our artist-in-resident Shannon Plourde. Her unique paintings and sustainable practices make her pieces highly sought after.

Mother's Day is right around the corner, meaning it's time to start thinking about a beautiful and unique gift to get for someone so special. But what do you get the person who never asks for anything or has everything they need? You get them a truly unique, rare gift that will leave a lasting impression.

The South Carolina Lowcountry is one of our favorite places. This part of the country, which encompasses seaside communities like Edisto Beach, Sullivan's Island, Folly Beach and Kiawah Island, offers a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life.

We're wrapping up our Get to Know the Designer series with the last few members of our design team.

One of our newest members of the team, Allison Detmer, joined Linda McDougald Design | Postcard from Paris Home earlier this year. 

The winter months can be brutal on the exterior of your home and your landscaping. Cold temperatures not only keep us indoors, preventing us from spending time on outdoor projects and enjoying nature, but they also wreak havoc on our yards.

With trees budding and flowers in bloom, it definitely looks and feels like spring. Outdoor flowers make a yard or landscape more vibrant and alive. Incorporating florals into a room can do the same for your home.
