Sarah Ireland, owner & Principal designer
Sarah's love for all things interiors started at an early age and has grown and developed over the years. When she was about 12 years old, Sarah and her mom hand-painted her bedroom ceiling and walls based on her own design! When Sarah and her husband bought their first home in Virginia, they started tackling DIY and design projects - painting cabinets, installing board & batten, creating a built-in office, and a kitchen renovation.
After moving to Charleston, SC and welcoming three children to their family, Sarah started sharing her designs & DIY projects with the world on her Instagram and Palmetto Haven was born. In addition to designing her own home, Sarah began helping friends and family with their projects as well. After much encouragement from Nick and her family, and positive feedback from others, Sarah decided to turn this hobby into a business. Sarah's passion is helping people design a home that they love and brings them joy.
Sarah & Nick reside in Charleston with their children - Jackson, Ethan and Charlotte. They love everything about Lowcountry life -playing at the beach, enjoying time on the boat, and dining at any of Charleston's fabulous restaurants!
