At Guest House Studio, we exist to help you share your story through design. Are you ready to make your house a home?
WHAT CLIENT'S ARE SAYING -
"We love Christyn and her team! Christyn helped us remodel and redesign our family beach house in SC. We were living in Seattle while she lived in Charleston and managed every detail of our project - big and small - to turn our old, tired place into a dreamy vacation property. If you’re looking for someone with excellent taste who is incredibly professional and a pleasure to work with, you will get that and more with The Guest House Studio. I can’t praise them enough!"
"Christyn was recommended to us by our builder. We were a bit worried about using a professional to help us design the interior of our home after a bad experience in the past, but working with Christyn was wonderful. She helped us figure out our style and came up with many great ideas. She listened to our ideas and those of our builder and worked with us until we were all happy. She was willing to work with pieces we already had and to allow us to be involved as much or as little as we wanted. The end result is magnificent and we couldn’t have done it without her."
"We used Christyn’s incredible talents to completely renovate our Isle of Palms home. This was a badly abused rental property that we still felt had ‘good bones’ despite years of long term rental abuse. Complicating the renovation was the fact that as owners, we live 8 hours away in Virginia. Christyn was our project manager, designer, decorator, problem solver and on and on, suffice to say, Christyn did it all Christyn’s vision, sense of design, impeccable sense of decorating and delightful personality made this project truly a labor of love."
