Linda McDougald, principal and lead designer of Linda McDougald Design l Postcard from Paris Home, re-designed and renovated her home, which now showcases an innovative mix of contemporary and antique furnishings set against a dramatic linen, white, and gray palette. The English country home features floors of dark-stained oak, white painted hardwood, and Lagos Azul limestone. Antique lighting marks most every room, each of which is filled with exquisite antiques from France. At the heart of the re-design was an extensive kitchen renovation, now featuring a La Cornue Chateau range, Sub-Zero and Miele appliances, custom cabinetry, and Waterworks tile.

Their remodeled master suite is one of the couple’s favorite spaces. The master bedroom features a new fireplace insert and the new addition provides space for his-and-hers closets – no more sharing! Both closets include improved organizational and storage options for optimal functionality. The master bathroom is a showpiece with a free-standing bathtub overlooking their beautiful backyard, with a TV mounted nearby for leisurely soaks. Their spa bathroom experience is complete with double sinks, and a glass front tile shower featuring two showerheads and a rain shower for the ultimate in comfort.

The bluestone patio was screened from the neighbors with a wall of arborvitae. Lush perennial gardens provide flower cutting opportunities and color to offset the green wall.

Off the kitchen and overlooking the pool, the porch was remodeled into an office and cozy sunroom; it quickly became the grandchildren's favorite hangout. Sunbrella fabrics provide protection against sun and sticky hands. Featured in Charleston Style + Design, Winter 2013 Holger Photography
