Thank you for supporting the important work of the Preservation Society of Charleston. Their dedicated work is why I live in this beautiful city. We value our history. We stop to admire the crumbling stucco or the moss-covered brick, the velvety soft tile roofs and glorious gardens. I am proud and grateful to see this every day. I work to infuse my projects with a similar feeling. I want my rooms to look like they have grown up over time – as people do, as these historic homes have done. I use antiques in an edited way so they don’t overwhelm a space. I will always give you comfort and beauty. With over twenty years in design, I bring a rich stable of resources from around the world so your home won’t look like all the others. I select every single piece personally, working with a small group of assistants to keep our projects on schedule. Every home is unique because every client is unique. Stop by my studio at 50 Queen Street or look at my website at aleciastevens.com where I feature a few of my favorite projects. Email: alecia@aleciastevens.com  Phone: 612.889.7188. And enjoy the house tours!
