We hired Stephanie McCartney at Southern Grace Interiors for our move from New Jersey to the Oldfield community in Bluffton, and she did an outstanding job. Stephanie knows Lowcountry design, and that was a big help to us coming from out of state. She took the time to figure out what we liked, then came back with several concepts. We narrowed it down quickly, and she got all the work done while we were still living in New Jersey. When we finally got down to the house, we were blown away. It was everything we wanted and more. It’s hard to pick a favorite room because we like everything she did, but if we had to choose, it would be the bedroom. She nailed it. Stephanie has kept helping us since we moved in, tracking down things we want for the house and lining up solid local vendors as we keep making it our home. I would recommend Stephanie to anybody. She’s a great designer and a great person, and we’re glad to know her.

We loved working with Mikaelah and her staff. They were detailed and incredibly responsive. She made some creative recommendations that were home runs. Such as turning a bonus room closet into a “speakeasy” hidden whiskey bar with a sliding bookcase. The rest of the design throughout our house was thoughtfully…

We used Southern Grace Interior for our retirement home. We are thrilled with the outcome! Brittani is talented, professional-designer who was with us every step of the way. She over saw our remodel during our transition from the West Coast to Beautiful SC.

We loved working with Mikaelah and her staff. They were detailed and incredibly responsive. She made some creative recommendations that were home runs. Such as turning a bonus room closet into a “speakeasy” hidden whiskey bar with a sliding bookcase. The rest of the design throughout our house was thoughtfully chosen. We wanted comfort and cozy and she suggested designs that were spot on. Pricing was reasonable and quality was exceptional. Highly recommended Southern Grace Interiors
Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Jill! You and Kelly were so fun to work with, and we enjoyed the creative challenges as well as the completed project. You were both a joy to work with! My team and I hope we get the opportunity to do so again in the future. So glad you love your new home design and furnishings!

Korey, thank you for this wonderful review of our design services and our team! We enjoy working with builders, such as yourself, who value our professional contribution, and look forward to more projects together!
stay away from this business, they owe me 3800$ and refuse to pay
This person is not a client of our business and this is a false review. We have notified Google and requested that it be removed, and have notified our attorney. We do not have a contract with this individual and they are not our customer.
Mikaelah and design team: It is a blessing enough to have the opportunity to own a home in beautiful Hilton Head. It was indeed a challenge when our entire condo was flooded and gutted down to studs just prior to our moving in! Thank you, Southern Grace Interiors, for making the renovation process one that was joyful and professional vs. frustrating and unnerving. We found your talented team on line and while some websites do not reflect a company's true image, yours has exceeded its promises of customer support and professional, creative design. We are so happy with our new home. Our mutual goal was to create a sophisticated yet casual, light and cozy, inviting home. A blue ribbon award to Southern Grace on all counts. The furniture selections, built ins, paint colors, floor, window treatments and kitchen of my dreams all came together thanks to your team. Mikaelah, Lydia and Isabella, in addition to the contractors all seamlessly pulled this project together. Thank you for your incredible suggestions and thorough response to our overall plan and punch list requests. Life will always be full of challenges, small and large. How we respond to them, and who you can rely on during these challenges makes all the difference. We could not be happier and recommend Southern Grace to anyone looking for a project that will reflect a beautiful, well planned and personalized team effort.

Thank you so much for this wonderful review, Lori and Joe! We appreciate your business and are so glad that you are happy with our services, and with the finished results in your Hilton Head Island condo! We hope to have the opportunity to work with you again in the future.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, I bought a Vacation Rental Property in Palmetto Bluff SC...not real smart I know! The house closed on May 18 2020 and I wanted to “Refurbish” the entire interior. But I live in Raleigh NC...I asked my real estate agent if he knew of any interior design companies that would be up to the task and he immediately answered, “Your gonna want MIKAELAH SEIFRIT and her team at SOUTHERN GRACE INTERIORS to do your home!” I called Mikaelah on Memorial Day, and explained what I needed/wanted and hoped for and she said “not a problem we can do that!” Her confidence is extraordinary...it made me feel like there was nothing her and her team couldn’t handle. Remember now this is covid-19 time and a lot of businesses were not running at full strength but SOUTHERN GRACE INTERIORS SURE WAS! Mikaelah’s team put in all new floors, painted the entire interior, repurposed the kitchen tile and granite and bought all new furniture and plantation shutters...I was able to start renting my property 7 weeks later on July 14 2020!!! SOUTHERN GRACE INTERIORS ARE FANTASTIC!

Thank you so much for your business, Lorrie, and we truly appreciate this lovely review of our design services!
This is the second time I have asked Brittani Swearingen of Southern Grace Interiors to help me with a project. This time it was to remodel my very utilization laundry room. With her wonderful talent for design, creativity, and knowledge of resources my room has been literally transformed into a beautiful and wonderfully functional room in the house. The room has exceeded all of my expectations! It is almost complete and I can’t wait to start using it. She and her company are well deserving of 5+ stars.
Thank you, Dinah! We think that repeat clients and personal referrals are the best compliments! We appreciate your business!
I worked with Brittani prior to listing my home for sale and she did an amazing job. After taking Brittani through every room of my home and listening to her ideas and suggestions, I decided to give her full reign to do whatever she felt would best showcase my home to prospective buyers. She decluttered, repositioned furniture, added new decorative pieces, replaced window coverings, and coordinated a project that she recommended that I hire a contractor for to build shadow boxes and paint several rooms. When everything was finished I was totally amazed at the transformation. Brittani went above and beyond my expectations and I would highly recommend her and Sourhern Grace Interiors . You won't be disappointed.
