Divine Creations

Sue Mac works directly with homeowners, coordinating with builders and contractors in many different capacities such as project management, décor and design, or as supervisor. Whether the project is a rehab of a historic Charleston home, redesign of a beach-front vacation home, condo or a new home in Mt. Pleasant’s I’On, she “is 110% committed” to achieving the results her clients have come to expect. Using a series of questions coupled with visits to their homes, she elicits her client’s tastes. Sue Mac is a respecter of her client’s budgets, often by repurposing furnishings or working in stages on a project when needed. “Many people are afraid to use the services of a decorator or designer, because they think it will be too costly. But in reality, the opposite is true! Using someone with experience can save the client a lot of time, frustration, and money. The experience of a professional can relieve much stress and also save them money by buying at wholesale and adding a percentage of the wholesale price. If the client were to buy at full retail they would see quite a difference! Depending on the client, she will assess their needs and priorities. For example: Some clients want only “originals” and others want the “look” of the original, but are less concerned with the actual “stamp” of origin. Once their style of choice is determined, as well as, their taste in color, fabrics and furnishings, Sue Mac can then, begin to help them achieve their desired look! Most clients have a sense of what they want, they are just unsure as to “how” to accomplish their desired look. It is not unusual to go to a client’s home who has never used a professional decorator or designer in the past and find the house in chaos and several “test” coats of paint on the wall and a mixed scale of furniture. For example a sofa that is too large or small for the room, table, lamps, rugs, etc. in varied scales instead of continuity. Many have given up after struggling for months trying to pick just the right color for their walls and wondering why that piece of furniture or lamp is not looking as nice as it did in the store. They are frustrated and need rescuing! Colors and furniture scale can be very deceiving depending on the lighting, background, room dimension, etc.”
