A Winter Welcome
With a new year comes new inspiration at home. While the winter season may be cold to us Southerners, this season glows with the warmth of family traditions and close friends. Amid the seasonal hustle and bustle, may your kitchen get messy with a design that will last well beyond mealtime.
Take note of the creative customizations within the pages of our annual kitchen showcase. We showcased over 70 of Charleston’s most hardworking kitchens and prep spaces with splash-proof materials and luxury finishes selected and installed by the Lowcountry’s go-to home professionals. Beyond the heart of the home, we highlight the latest projects led by Charleston’s best interior designers and catalog the colors of the year from leading paint pigment experts.
Local restaurateur, reality star, and executive producer of Bravo TV’s Southern Hospitality , Leva Bonaparte, graces our cover with the glamour and sophistication we’ve all come to love about her. She invites readers into her Mount Pleasant family home, where she dreams the loudest in peace, away from the flashy lights of show business. She reveals her truth and speaks about slowing down her hustle to spend more time with her husband and son at home.
Finally, make your design dreams come true with Charleston Home + Design ’s annual home show January 24-26, 2025 at the Charleston Area Convention Center Ballrooms. Wherever this year takes you, may you feel encouraged to create spaces alongside Charleston’s best in all things home and design. Here’s to a season of personal success–the feeling of a warm welcome with each trip back home. We urge you to come to the show with ideas to leave with a plan.

Continuing The Family Legacy
Meet Currie Bates, owner of Charleston Landscape, a local company dedicated to making yard dreams a reality while honoring a family legacy.
Tell us about how Charleston Landscape began:
My uncle founded Charleston Landscape in 2006. He worked as a landscaper his entire life and decided to start his own company from the ground up. I joined roughly six years ago, starting as a project coordinator and worked my way up to project manager. Unfortunately, my uncle passed away in March of 2023 and in his honor, I made the decision to keep the business going. I purchased the company as my own and the business continues to grow. I’m proud to carry on my uncle’s legacy, and the family is grateful to keep Charleston Landscape a family business.
What services does Charleston Landscape offer?
We set ourselves apart from other local landscapers with an exclusive focus on construction services, rather than maintenance, meaning our team does not “mow or blow.” We specialize in transforming outdoor spaces from the ground up. Our services begin with the essential irrigation systems and drainage solutions to a wide range of services that elevate your outdoor living experience. We have designed and built everything from outdoor kitchens and pergolas to fire pits, fences, and even synthetic turf. A significant part of our work involves hardscaping driveways made from pavers or concrete, brickwork, entry monuments, deck extensions, and screen porches.
Can you help with the HOA approval process?
Yes, we manage the entire process for homeowners from design to installation, to include everything from permitting to working directly with your HOA, so you can focus on what matters most. Before we begin a project, we’ll give you clear, detailed drawings, so you know exactly what to expect. During the design process, we work closely with our clients, making sure we tweak everything as needed to get the landscape design just right.
Why is it important to install an irrigation system?
As every local knows, the weather in Charleston can be unpredictable. That’s where an irrigation system really can make a difference. Our team installs smart, Wi-Fi-enabled devices that connect to weather channels, allowing the system to adjust watering schedules based on weather conditions. For example, if rain is in the forecast for a few days, the system will automatically turn off, saving you money and ensuring you’re not watering your lawn. The system takes care of everything automatically, so your yard stays lush and vibrant, without the hassle.
For more information, call Charleston Landscape at (843) 296-7592 or visit charlestonlandscape.com.

Let’s Paint the Town
Husband and wife team Bradford and Anny King of Old Charleston Painting Company share their favorite paint shades for enhancing your Lowcountry home.
Bradford Said:
For the shutter color, I’d choose Emerald Green, specifically Topiary (SW DCR 098) or Regent Green (Benjamin Moore 2136-20). With either of these colors, Ice Cube (SW 6252) or Crushed Ice (SW 7647) would be perfect for the siding. These are timeless, bold combinations.
Piazza Blue (SW DCR 075) is a timeless classic. It’s a beautiful example of how something as simple as paint can hold historical significance and preserve tradition.
Shutter/Siding Combo?
Anny Said:
The shutter color would be Village Porch (SW DCL043) or Pink Mimosa (SW DCR040), with siding in Confederate Flannel (SW DCR055). We live in Charleston, South Carolina, a city that embraces and celebrates bold, whimsical color palettes for homes.

by Ashley Rowell |
I’d go with Piazza Blue (SW DCR 075). As a second option, though, I’d consider St. Cecelia (SW DCR 069).
Best Historic Exterior Shade?
Charleston White (SW DCR 100) is a true white that I absolutely love. It’s incredibly versatile, ideal for everything from full siding to a refreshed exterior trim, as well as deck and porch details.
Dark and Moody! This can create more effect with the décor and environment around it.
Favorite Shade of Haint Blue?
Light and Bright or Dark and Moody?
If you want something a little more lively, I recommend Noon Sky (SW DCL 027) from the Carolina LowCountry Collection. It’s still a Haint Blue that will keep the evil spirits at bay, but with a more vibrant, modern twist.
I used to go for light and bright, but it left me struggling to find complementary pieces. By going dark and moody, the space becomes its own masterpiece, allowing minimalist, comfortable furniture to shine.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER:
Joel Adrian
COASTAL CREEK DESIGN
What did the homeowners want for their home?
This home sits beside gorgeous marsh views from almost all sides. They wanted to be able to enjoy that view no matter what room they were in. The entire backside of the home has large scale windows and accordion glass doors that can turn any room in the home into an indoor/outdoor living space.
Which room was your favorite space to design?
I would have to say the master bathroom. Again, you have a wonderful view of the marsh near the bathroom vanities, but we also wanted to create a functional and private bathing and shower space. We also got to play with eighteen-foot ceilings on the main floor, twelve-foot ceilings on the second level, and eight-foot ceilings on the third level, which was a lot of fun.
What was the most challenging part of this architectural design?
This home’s plot of land is in the shape of a pie slice. It is very narrow in the front and widens as you get closer to the marsh. Therefore, the home is unique in that aspect, but it was challenging to get the design to sit proportionally. Once you are inside, you can see why it was designed that way. The marsh views truly dictated how wide we were able to design the home.
What is your favorite part about being an Architectural Designer?
I get to help property owners visualize their dream home. When we have that initial consultation on their plot of land, we can start choosing what features they want to include. What do they want in terms of view, and how do they want the sun to rise or set on their home. Being a part of those verbal conversations and then delivering what they envisioned is just a joy for me.
For more information, call Coastal Creek Design at (843) 514-1790 or visit coastalcreekdesign.com.

BUILDER:

KALMAN CONSTRUCTION
What was the space like before?
When the homeowners purchased this neglected property, they knew it would need a serious update to become the space they had always envisioned for their primary home. They wanted a home with the wow factor yet remained functional for them to age in place.
Describe the kitchen’s unique features.
We designed and built the kitchen cabinetry with a focus on providing storage in the limited condo space. Every inch mattered, so we ensured the cabinets fit the defined area perfectly. Our goal was to create a functional and stylish solution that maximized the small layout.
Homeowner goals?
These homeowners wanted to make the most of their stunning Cooper River view. By merging four 6-foot sliders into two 12-foot sliders and removing the wall panels between the old doors, we not only enhanced the view but also flooded the living area with natural light.
Did you face any challenges?
Since this project was in a condominium, we had to be extra mindful of the neighbors. To minimize noise, we adjusted our working hours, meaning our team wasn’t able to work as many hours in a day. There were also days when the elevator was out of service, which slowed us down. It’s not uncommon to be hesitant about working in condos because of the potential for complaints, but my team and I really excelled on this project, and we’ve definitely been asked back for other projects.
Which room was your favorite to work on?
The transformation of the living room and dining room, with their breathtaking views and exquisite lighting, was my favorite.

Modern Storage for Historic Homes
A historic home lacking kitchen storage received a full revamp of its pantry and cabinets with custom storage systems designed to fit their unique needs.
The Setting:
Historic homes are undeniably charming, but when it comes to storage, “charming” isn’t usually the first word that comes to mind. These homeowners were grappling with a lack of storage before reaching out to the custom storage team at ShelfGenie. Storage designer Julie Blumetti visited the home to discuss how the kitchen could function more effectively within the space constraints.
The Problem:
Most historic homes did not include closet space when built, relying solely on armoires and bureaus. While this home has a tall, deep, and narrow pantry, the homeowners were struggling to make the most of it. The kitchen cabinets were overflowing, and these homeowners needed assistance organizing their pots and pans to create a more enjoyable cooking space. ShelfGenie’s solutions enable homeowners to access the full depth of their storage areas, allowing the team to design systems that maximize every inch of space effectively.
The Solution:
ShelfGenie’s top-selling glide-out solutions were fully customized in size and shape to fit the unique storage spaces of this historic home. With full-extension glide-outs that can hold up to one hundred pounds each, the homeowners can now make the most of their pantry, enjoying easy access from top to bottom. Even the smallest details, like sloped shelves to prevent paper towels from falling, are thoughtfully considered in ShelfGenie’s bespoke storage designs. On the range wall, each base cabinet features a slight variation tailored to the homeowner’s storage needs. The right-hand cabinetry includes standard glide-outs for pots and pans, while the base cabinets boast custom dividers for vertical storage. The upper cabinetry features a spice tower, designed as a custom solution that fits the specific depth of the items it holds. There’s no storage space too small for ShelfGenie, especially in historic homes.

Seal the Deal
These energy efficiency experts offer spray foam and fiberglass insulation for Lowcountry homes, helping to lower energy costs and promote healthy air quality.
What services do you specialize in?
IBP Charleston offers various insulation services for your home, including fiberglass, spray foam, and rockwool. Fiberglass insulation consists of tiny glass fibers, keeping your home warm in winter and cool in summer. Spray foam expands to fill gaps, creating a strong barrier against temperature changes and moisture. Rockwool, made from natural stone, provides effective insulation while being fire-resistant and soundproof. Additionally, IBP Charleston offers mild mold remediation and Forticel Mold Protection to help prevent mold growth in your home.
PRO TIP:
For optimal home insulation, consider a combination of fiberglass for walls, spray foam for the attic and crawlspace, and rockwool for fire resistance and soundproofing. Additionally, integrating Forticel Mold Protection can help prevent moisture-related issues, ensuring a healthier environment.
How often should homeowners update their crawlspace insulation?
Homeowners should take a look at their crawl space or attic insulation every 2 to 5 years. Think of it like an air filter that you tend to forget about.
PRO TIP:
Pay attention to signs of moisture or temperature issues in your home. If you notice drafts, higher energy bills, or musty smells, it might be time to check your crawl space insulation, even if it’s been less than 2 to 5 years. Keeping an eye on these factors can help you catch problems early and maintain a comfortable, energy-efficient home.
What is an air barrier and why are they important?
An air barrier seals off a space and keeps outside air from sneaking in, which helps your HVAC unit run more efficiently. Outside air carries dust, dirt, pollen, and other debris which are unwanted especially in your home.
PRO TIP:
Spray foam insulation is a great option when looking for an air barrier in your home. When you use spray foam under your roof deck, it can significantly reduce the attic
temperature, positively impacting your entire home and enhancing your indoor air quality. Plus, adding spray foam in your crawl space helps keep that musty smell from creeping into your living area and eliminates drafty floors
What are the benefits of spray foam insulation?
It can reduce your electric bill by approximately 40%, create healthier indoor air quality, and eliminate those frustrating hot and cold spots inside your living space. Additionally, it helps prolong the life of your HVAC unit and deters critters and bugs from making themselves at home in your home.
PRO TIP:
To maximize the benefits of spray foam insulation, consider scheduling a free estimate of your home with IBP Charleston. This can help identify areas where insulation can make the biggest impact, leading to lower energy bills, improved air quality, and a more comfortable living environment.

In the Know With the Pros
Local professionals give us the inside scoop on all things home and design on our radio show, “Talking About a Home,” airing every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. on station 94.3 WSC-FM.
Do you prefer working on renovation or new construction projects?
“I prefer working on new construction when we’re brought in early on, from the ground level, and have a chance to collaborate with the design team. That way, we can really work together with the client and the architect to create something special. We learn a lot from that process, and it allows us to do our best work for our clients. That said, large renovations are also incredibly important to us. We’ve tackled some pretty big challenges, like lifting and moving houses, reconfiguring them, and even combining two homes into a single, larger family compound. There’s so much potential when it comes to both building new spaces and renovating existing ones.
“

Why should homeowners come to Aquatica Pools & Spas new headquarters?

Vintage Aesthetics Made Modern

Project by Sullivan Custom Cabinets, Inc.
Crafted with luxurious details and informed by the homeowners’ vision, this kitchen marries classic design with contemporary touches. The design centers around a mahogany island in a deep espresso wood stain, contrasting beautifully with cabinetry in a soft Swiss Coffee hue. “I love the custom color combinations,” says Tracy Sullivan of Sullivan Custom Cabinets, Inc. “It complements the light wood floors and brass fixtures perfectly,” she adds. Open shelving on the island allows easy access to daily items, while floating shelves and storage towers with glass accents add refined lightness to the space.
Sullivan Custom Cabinets, Inc. inspired the homeowners’ design with cohesive elements, including paneled appliances and custom cabinetry,
creating a seamless, timeless look. White inset cabinets with brass knobs frame a honed marble backsplash punctuated by a vintage-inspired brass pot filler. Champagne bronze and brass finishes throughout the kitchen lend a sophisticated warmth, balancing the modern layout with heritage touches.
The wet bar area, finished in a bold Charleston Green with white oak shelving, pays homage to local Lowcountry colors while adding character to the home’s design. This bar features a temperature-controlled wine cooler, a stainless steel ice maker, with Delta plumbing fixtures in an unlacquered brass finish combining beauty and function. The bar’s thoughtful design enables seamless entertaining while doubling as a functional storage space.
Tracy Sullivan of Sullivan Custom Cabinets, Inc.
Working with McCory Custom Homes, LLC, Sullivan Custom Cabinets, Inc. transformed the homeowners’ vision into reality. Tracy Sullivan reflects on the project’s challenges, noting, “Color selections can be tricky. The initial cabinet color wasn’t quite right, so we repainted it in Swiss Coffee.” Their adaptability and a deep commitment to client satisfaction helped refine each design detail until it was perfect.
The kitchen also features a standout Hallman range with a dualfuel function, precision control, a vintage-inspired look, and a furniture-style dine-in island with bar seating and shelving. Sullivan Custom Cabinets, Inc. enhanced each feature with a modern edge, creating a space that feels not only welcoming but enduring.

Reimagine Your Space
A local architect thoughtfully expanded and reconfigured this Marshfront home, tailoring the design for the homeowners needs in a creative and distinct manner.
These Lowcountry homeowners bought their new place, moved in, and then quickly moved out—something anyone who has ever relocated knows isn’t ideal. While it wasn’t, it gave them a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the space and understand its flow and functionality. Before they even took the keys, they envisioned a significant gut renovation. Their real estate agent recommended working with architect Leslie Norton of Norton Design Studio to guide them through this process.
Living in the home allowed the clients to gain a genuine understanding of its dynamics. “You never know what ideas might come to you when standing in a space,” she emphasizes. Initially, they had imagined a more prominent front porch for gatherings, but as the design
process progressed, it became evident that a dedicated home office would better suit their family’s lifestyle. This adaptability showcased their willingness to refine their vision based on real-life experiences.
The home office emerged as a standout feature, with a stunning wood ceiling and a striking bubble chandelier. With guidance from the interior designer, the homeowner opted for vibrant blue cabinetry and faceless shelves, creating a stunning contrast against the rich wood tones. Initially, they planned to place the office in the living room; however, it soon became apparent that a more prominent position would be more beneficial. The living area boasted a vaulted ceiling that wouldn’t translate well into the office, prompting Leslie
to rethink the ceiling design to harmonize the two spaces effectively.
To further enhance the home, Leslie extended the back, significantly expanding the living area and creating a new kitchen. The existing screenedin porch was enclosed, allowing for a spacious, open kitchen layout that included a large laundry room, a mudroom, and a scullery. “We aimed to maximize every bit of space we could, especially since we couldn’t expand on the sides of the house due to building setbacks,” Leslie notes. The home’s unique positioning on the lot allowed for marsh views, influencing the strategic placement of the kitchen windows after the expansion. Initially constructed in the 1980s, the home retained a late 1970s vibe that the homeowners wanted to

A Thoughtful Reno
Architect Leslie Norton envisioned and executed a thoughtful renovation that transformed this 1980s home into a modern, functional space, incorporating custom details like a home office, expanded kitchen, and harmonious living areas.
(above left) Leslie designed a dog wash station and even added a pot filler for the dog’s water bowl, transforming the laundry room into a dedicated dog area. (opposite) The island offers smart storage for extra kitchen items, keeping clutter minimal. Since the homeowners enjoy entertaining, Leslie included a dedicated area for beverages and serving, complete with a stylish wine dispenser.
modernize. This led to the decision to incorporate the mono slope roof at the back of the house. In collaboration with builder George Zourzoukis of Zourzoukis Homes, Leslie chose to implement a cathedral ceiling in the kitchen. “The homeowner had a clear idea of her dream kitchen, and our design started with the stove,” Leslie explains, detailing the meticulous planning that went into every detail of the space with the help of interior designer Megan Molten.
The wood beams in the kitchen were a thoughtful addition, made after spending time considering how to blend the kitchen seamlessly into the living room. The contractor, Leslie, and the clients dedicated hours to positioning the beams to ensure the skylights would continue to flood the area with natural light. Overall, the living room retained its original character while gaining considerable space. The renovation eliminated an awkward angled corner, giving way to custom exposed shelving
that enhanced the area beautifully. Expanding the front of the house created valuable additional space on the second floor. Previously, the staircase led to a cramped landing, but the new architectural plans opened this area up, providing the homeowners’ children with a designated space to unwind or do homework.
Ultimately, the homeowners returned to a beautifully transformed space that radiates whimsical charm, enriched with thoughtful architectural details. Every corner of their home tells a story, blending playful elements with intricate design features, all tailored to meet the needs of their family. ✴

An At-Home Escape
This redesigned landscape in Mount Pleasant offers year-round enjoyment and seamless functionality, complete with a new pool deck, custom fireplace, and lush plantings.
This local landscape design and installation team transformed a Mount Pleasant home’s ordinary outdoor space into a private retreat. The design, championed by Brownswood Nursery & Landscape, begins with a harmonious blend of materials. A Belgard® Dublin Cobble® pool deck, bordered by a Weston Stone™ seating wall that mirrors the pool’s curves, connects beautifully with a new walkway along the side of the home.
The understated elegance of the hardscaping enhances the property’s natural appeal while accommodating practical needs, such as a permeable drainage system discreetly placed beneath the patio stairs. The homeowners also planned for a future
outdoor shower in this area, ensuring the space evolves with their lifestyle.
A custom fireplace crafted from Old Carolina® brick offers both beauty and utility. Designed with wood storage bays and a display surface, it integrates effortlessly into the overall aesthetic. The fireplace complements the surrounding Bluestone patio without dominating the design, serving as a refined accent rather than the focal point.
Pathways constructed from Plantation Mix—granite sand combined with granite 789—add to the yard’s natural flow. These walkways are bordered by steel edging and surrounded by lush plantings sourced directly from

More Than a Garden Nursery
Brownswood completed a detailed landscape plan that included hardscapes and this outdoor fire gathering space.

Brownswood Nursery. The team preserved mature shrubs and trees already on the property while introducing new greenery to create a layered, natural look. This thoughtful planting plan enhances privacy and ensures the landscape blends seamlessly with its surroundings.
The plant palette was carefully selected to provide year-round interest. Among the highlights are Magnolia and Japanese Blueberry trees and vibrant Drift® roses, camellias, gardenias, and hydrangeas. These choices reflect the homeowners’ desire for a serene, intimate space while showcasing Brownswood’s expertise in combining beauty and functionality. Privacy was further enhanced by supplementing established trees with new plantings at the property’s front to create retreatlike seclusion.
Lighting and irrigation upgrades add another layer of sophistication to the property, ensuring that every corner is well-lit and easy to maintain. These subtle yet impactful touches elevate the yard’s usability, which is ideal for gatherings or quiet evenings outdoors.
The project originated at the Charleston Home + Design Winter Home Show in early 2023, where the homeowners first encountered Brownswood Nursery & Landscape. After booking a consultation and viewing the firm’s portfolio, they were confident Brownswood could bring their vision to life. Throughout the project, the homeowners collaborated closely with the design team, utilizing 3D renderings to fine-tune details and ensure their ideas were fully realized. Installation began in alignment with a new pool project, requiring precise
coordination across multiple teams. Despite the project’s complexity, Brownswood completed the transformation in June 2024. The final result is a thoughtfully designed, cohesive, functional, and inviting space.
For more than 45 years, Brownswood Nursery & Landscape has specialized in creating landscapes that marry aesthetic beauty with practical design. Their experience and attention to detail were instrumental in turning this Mount Pleasant property into a personal oasis. ✴

Custom to Your Lifestyle
Schedule an appointment at this Mount Pleasant cabinet showroom to begin your custom project.
Custom cabinetry isn’t something most homeowners can easily pull off as an at home project. It requires precise measurements, expert carpentry, specialized tools, and a deep understanding of the craft. Charleston Custom Cabinetry is a boutique custom cabinetry business with a team of specialists that thrives on the challenge of creating unique, highquality cabinetry.
After a complete remodel, Charleston Custom Cabinetry reopened its showroom in Mount Pleasant, featuring an extensive line of new products. Available by appointment only, they recommend potential customers call in advance to

By the time a customer leaves they are well-educated and better understand the custom cabinetry process.
After your consultation, one of their designers will visit your home to discuss how the space is lived in and the desired functionality of the space. The designer will take measurements and then create a detailed presentation, complete with

3D renderings. You’ll be invited to the showroom to see your stunning new kitchen in 3D before the renovation even begins. As the delivery date nears, a site coordinator will inspect the property to ensure plumbing and electrical work are on track for installation. Once everything is in place, they’ll do a final walkthrough to ensure you’re completely satisfied with the finished product. “We know being without a kitchen can be tough and our team always goes the extra mile to ensure the installation process runs smoothly,” says Brendan Murphy owner of Charleston Custom Cabinetry.
With just five people on staff, Charleston Custom Cabinetry is a small, tight knit team that delivers top-notch craftsmanship. The owner is hands-on, overseeing every detail and visiting job sites personally. Each team member is a specialist in their field. “We’re very selective about the projects we take on,”
says Brendan. “We pride ourselves in our ability to provide exceptional customer service and put all our energy and attention into every job.”
Three hand picked cabinetry lines are displayed in their showroom. White oak cabinets from Siteline form the lower perimeter of the showroom and are paired with a bespoke range hood, crafted locally in Charleston. North American Cabinetry, a full-custom Canadian brand, is featured in a striking dark green paint. The third line is Greenfield Cabinetry, showcased in a classic white finish. Thanks to lead designer Erika, who sold Greenfield for over 15 years, Charleston Custom Cabinetry has secured an exclusive partnership to offer this premium brand.
While Charleston Custom Cabinetry works with newly built homes and remodels, they also specialize in more
complex projects. This team often takes on projects in downtown Charleston, where older buildings present their own challenges: crooked rooms, settled foundations, and uneven walls. Philippa, the second designer on the team, works closely with Erika to offer a comprehensive interior design service for those wanting help in areas such as countertop selection, paint colors and lighting. Their expert installer, Joe LaFrance, ensures a flawless fit for your cabinets.
“We focus on quality, not speed,” says Brendan. “We take our time and make sure we deliver the most exceptional work, no matter what.” ✴

A Customer-Centric Approach
Human Resources are essential in small businesses. This HR firm offers top-notch, hands-on services that allow companies to focus on what matters and ensure compliant operations for employee retention.
During a job search, a company asked Whitney Whitlock to take a personality assessment. The hiring manager, who later became her mentor, said, “You would be fantastic in human relations.” At first, she found this unappealing because she didn’t want to be responsible for firing anyone, however, he reassured her that HR involves much more than that.
She soon noticed small businesses often lack the internal support they so desperately need. This became evident when her husband’s company started growing and faced frequent HR questions. Whitney took a leap of faith and founded WeThrive HR in 2020 to fill the gap.
WeThrive HR is a boutique-based outsourced HR firm dedicated to helping small businesses
operate like Fortune 500 companies. “We set them up for growth by implementing strong HR organizations and systems that streamline compliance and foster a positive work culture,” Whitney explains. Each team member of WeThrive HR is assigned to a specific business, ensuring regular communication with their staff. WeThrive HR consultants even provide their personal phone numbers for on-call support, going the extra mile.
Their services cover the entire employee life cycle, from recruitment and hiring to onboarding, document management, compliance, employee relations, performance management, behavioral assessments, training, and offboarding when needed. Many companies get occupied with daily tasks that they struggle to keep up with labor regulations or ensure their employees are happy.

Whitney Whitlock of WeThrive HR
“We aim to make the work environment enjoyable. We walk them through employer expectations, implement systems, explain their benefits, and cover everything from paid time off to performance reviews,” says Whitney.
One of their top requests is a personalized handbook, which serves as a great starting point for clients to clarify their employee expectations. The HR consultant then helps implement all employee documents into a comprehensive system. Plus, WeThrive HR partners with two HR systems, allowing them to pass discounts on to clients. If a client already has an HR system in place, they help refine it for efficiency.
WeThrive HR focuses on managing HR for businesses with fewer than 50 employees. When asked for a success story, Whitney mentioned that their consultancy has helped two construction companies triple in size since partnering with them. This experience has led them to assist businesses with
over 50 employees in hiring an in-house HR professional and understanding that dedicated HR support is crucial at that scale. Bringing someone on full-time often makes more financial sense once a company surpasses that 50-employee mark. Whitney emphasizes, “WeThrive HR is dedicated to providing a service rather than a profit. Our main goal is to do what’s best for our clients and their teams, fostering a positive work environment.”
Whitney is committed to growing WeThrive HR carefully and purposefully, ensuring that their internal culture and client satisfaction rate remains intact. As they bring on more clients, they’ll expand their team of HR advisors to better meet the unique needs of each client. “As we continue to grow, our customercentric approach will always be our top priority,” Whitney says. ✴

Wildflower Garden
These local landscape experts turned this backyard into a sanctuary for the homeowner.
There’s a fairy-tale quality to this Lowcountry home’s garden. Working with a clean slate, Marshall Kirkman of Charleston Outdoor Design gave this backyard a well-deserved makeover. This project aimed to create an effortless escape from the everyday.
This homeowner knew the backyard was worth every penny and spared no expense on selecting top-quality materials for her sanctuary. One request was a wildflower garden. The client enjoys wildflower gardens for their
natural beauty and aesthetic appeal and for supporting biodiversity by attracting pollinators and fostering a healthier ecosystem. The flower beds housed wildflowers, sweet grass, coreopsis, river oats, beauty berries, and black-eyed Susans.
“This client discovered us online. We partnered with REMARK for the design, so we handled the discussions as the installer and reviewed the landscape plans with the client and REMARK,” Marshall explains. There were only a few minor tweaks to the original design. “I love my backyard,” the

The design plans included a pergola, which Marshall and his team constructed from high-quality cedar wood for longevity. This pergola features an open top allowing light to filter through while offering shade. Once built, it was painted in a true shade of Charleston green. The pergola was designed to fit around the existing pavers that make up the pool decking. Their team sourced a 40-gallon Carolina Kettle for the fire pit and installed old-world tabby stepping stones.
They established a healthy, green yard quickly by sodding the backyard with Zoysia grass as well as installing a brand new irrigation system. To help with the climate of Charleston, French drains in select areas around the yard were installed to help the rainwater flow.
“I enjoy my backyard. Just soaking up the sun, whether in the pool, by the pergola, or just observing the beauty of the plants,” states the homeowner. An artfully styled oasis must be appropriately maintained. To keep up with this property, Marshall recommends pruning and deadheading the flowers during the correct season to encourage more blooming. Charleston Outdoor Design now offers boutique maintenance. This isn’t your typical mow-andblow service; they provide a range of services to keep your garden looking as fresh and beautiful as it did on the installation day. ✴

Crystal Clear
This premium glass shower enclosure was installed by these local experts.
Alocal shower enclosure company operates with a compact yet highly skilled team, choosing to maintain a small staff to prioritize quality control, foster a positive work environment, and deliver exceptional results. With just four employees, the team has successfully installed 17,000 showers in Charlotte and 4,000 in the Charleston area. Their impressive track record reflects a wealth of experience and strong communication.
This homeowner in Awendaw reached out to these shower glass experts for a custom shower enclosure. After scheduling an appointment, Teagan Heesch of Malibu Shower Enclosures visited the home to take measurements and discuss the
homeowner’s preferences for the glass enclosure. With each enclosure being fully customizable, the homeowner had complete flexibility in choosing the design that best suited her space. The homeowner shared, “This was perfect because they can take this exact design we’ve come up with collectively and fit it perfectly into my tight shower space.”
From the beginning, Malibu Shower Enclosures has offered two glass options: Starfire, a premium glass, and Clear Green, the standard glass. Neil Heesch, the founder, was among the first to introduce Starfire glass to the market, leading the way in offering a higher-end, more refined glass option for homeowners. His vision was to provide a

superior, upscale alternative that elevated the quality of shower installations.
During the initial consultation, the homeowner mentioned wanting two sliding glass doors. To give her a better sense of the options, Teagan brought a selection of hardware and glass samples, along with demonstrations of how their protective coating works.
The homeowners’ bathroom already featured a brushed nickel finish, so they chose to match the header bar and handle to the existing nickel hardware for a cohesive look. “We prefer showing our clients rather than just telling them,” Teagan explains. “When they can hold it, see it, and feel it for themselves, they get a much clearer idea of what to expect.”
The order was placed, and once the glass arrived at Malibu Shower Enclosures’ warehouse, it went through a thorough quality control process. The team inspects each piece carefully, using bright lights to check for any marks. After that, a protective coating is applied to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup. “We highly recommend the protective coating because it seals the pores of the glass, keeping soap chemicals from settling in,” Teagan explains.
Glass installation is tricky and complex, so hiring experts was crucial. Despite the tricky nature of the installation, the process went smoothly. Given the limited space in the bathroom layout, the doors needed to slide rather than open, ensuring easy access to the shower. ✴

Multi-Level Outdoor Living
This Daniel Island home features a remarkable outdoor living transformation thanks to the collaborative expertise of this construction and remodeling team.
From concept to completion, this project was completed in under five months, a testament to the dedication and teamwork involved in this custom remodel. General contractors David Watsky and Forest Wieters of Watsky & Wieters Construction embarked on this project for homeowners seeking a multi-level indoor-outdoor living experience.
The new exterior remodel showcases a three-level deck that redefines outdoor living. At the heart of this project was the need for functionality and style. Watsky & Wieters Construction began by enclosing the ground-level space, seamlessly transitioning from the new indoor bar and lounge to the outdoor area. This level features a new powder bathroom, a wet bar
adorned with floating shelves made of thin brick, and a convenient outdoor shower. The thoughtful design ensures that every corner of the deck serves a purpose, enhancing the overall usability of the space.
Ascending to the deck above, homeowners are greeted by a spectacular outdoor kitchen. Equipped with high-quality outdoor appliances and cabinetry supplied by Palmetto Outdoor Kitchens, this culinary haven is perfect for hosting summer barbecues and alfresco dining.
The outdoor space is framed with sleek powder-coated aluminum posts and cable railings, offering unobstructed views of the lush surroundings while ensuring safety and durability.
A key highlight of the remodel is the multi-slide sliding glass door installed in the dining room, replacing two existing windows. This innovative design floods the interior with natural light and creates an inviting connection to the outdoor spaces. The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor living areas is further emphasized by the Euxxvak Waterproof decking, featuring a built-in drainage system that allows the area beneath the deck to be usable and inviting.
The project’s details reflect a commitment to high-performance materials. Hardie Plank siding, trim, and bandboard ensure longevity, while the oxidized metal garage door installed by Overhead Door Co. adds a modern touch. “The coolest part of this project is the 14-foot garage door that

opens up to the backyard,” Forest from Watsky & Wieters Construction says. “We had to consider head clearance, as the homeowner is quite tall, which required close collaboration with Overhead Door Co. of Charleston.”
The ground level boasts a thoughtfully designed powder room featuring a vessel sink and butcher block countertops, perfect for quick refreshment after a day outdoors. The bar area is illuminated by 20-30 can lights installed throughout the ceiling, creating an inviting ambiance for evening gatherings. Smooth stucco faux finishes on the exposed columns beneath add an elegant touch to the space.
Watsky & Wieters Construction’s attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the project. “We took this from nothing. Everything in these photos was not there when we began. This was such an involved project that
required teamwork to find compromised solutions,” shares David from the construction team. The collaboration with local suppliers such as Buck Lumber & Building Supply, Inc. ensured that the highest quality materials were used, including the massive I-beam in the ceiling that supports the entire load above.
This exterior remodel by Watsky & Wieters Construction enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal and elevates its inhabitants’ overall lifestyle. With its blend of functionality and style, the threelevel deck stands as a testament to the possibilities of outdoor living, welcoming homeowners to enjoy the beauty of nature from the comfort of their backyard. ✴

Open Possibilities
A climate-controlled space with natural light for entertaining friends and storing antique cars was essential for this homeowner.
This Lowcountry homeowner turned his garage into a true retreat; a place for working on antique cars and somewhere to spend time with friends. After spending countless hours in a space with poor insulation and constant shifts in temperature, he decided it was time for a change. Curious about his neighbors’ garage setups, he started asking around. It didn’t take long for Overhead Door Company of Charleston to come up as a top recommendation, so he got in touch right away.
This trusted, family-owned business took the time to walk through the various options with the homeowner, offering suggestions that aligned with
his desire for natural light and a more controlled climate. In addition to installation, these garage door experts also provide maintenance, repairs, and replacements to ensure the homeowner can always rely on easy access to his garage. Keeping all of this in mind, they crafted custom garage doors tailored to the space. Given the unique design, the project required a bit more time than usual, at about eight weeks, to complete.
Spending countless hours in his garage, the homeowner knew that creating a more comfortable, controlled environment was a must. With his old doors offering no insulation and no windows, he was ready for a change. Insulated

Plus, it’s a smart, costeffective solution that helps reduce energy bills by making heating and cooling your home more efficient.”

The Leva Life
Restaurateur and Bravo icon Leva Bonaparte’s Charleston retreat is more than a home—it reflects her family-forward perspective and is a sanctuary for her creative ideas that blend traditional, slow Southern living with multifunctional design.
Written by Micaela Arnett

Lowcountry Haven
The screened porch invites guests to linger under a classic blue ceiling amid ambient lighting and a mix of cozy furnishings, including a classic Charleston swing bed. Indoors and out, Leva’s home reflects her penchant for decorating polished, yet approachable spaces.
“The heart of any home lies in the moments shared within it. My vision was to create spaces that reflect those connections.”
An escape from her nightlife empire, Leva Bonaparte’s family home in Mount Pleasant seamlessly combines the classic charm of the South with modern elegance. The home is she and her husband Lamar’s haven as successful restaurant and bar owners. Beyond her business endeavors, you’ll find Leva on Bravo as a Southern Charm cast member. Recently, she became the executive producer and lead star of Southern Hospitality, the highly acclaimed occu-series following her staff at Republic Garden & Lounge, an upscale club and cocktail destination on King Street. Despite her television and business successes, Leva is committed to being a hands-on and highly present mother to her 6-year-old son, Lamar “Little” Bonaparte, Jr. This means having strict boundaries for the outside world and keeping her focus on family. Designed for family living and outdoor entertaining, Leva and Lamar’s home exudes a calming, neutral palette, intelligent functionality, and understated luxury through high-quality fabrics and finishes, among multi-functional furnishings and practical accessories. At the heart of the design is the open-concept living space and a magical outdoor porch and courtyard that connects the two.
A Nightlife Empire
A dynamic female entrepreneur, television personality, and proud Charlestonian who has made her mark as a trailblazer in the hospitality and entertainment industries, Leva and her husband Lamar are the creative minds behind Charleston’s most popular nightlife and dining destinations. From Republic Garden & Lounge to Bourbon N’ Bubbles, the Bonaparte’s have redefined the city’s social scene, emphasizing sophistication and a glamorous guest experience. Her business acumen extends far beyond nightlife, with ventures including Lamar’s Sports Bar and Mesu, a unique blend of Latin and Asian cuisines. Leva has become vital in Charleston’s cultural and economic growth through her hospitality empire, consistently elevating the city’s offerings. Her natural charisma and deep-rooted connections in Charleston’s vibrant social scene caught the attention of Bravo’s Southern Charm. Joining the cast in 2020, she quickly became a fan

favorite, celebrated for her authenticity and commitment to diversity and inclusion. Building on her success, Leva stepped into the role of executive producer for Southern Hospitality, a Bravo spin-off that chronicles the dynamic lives of her Republic team while showcasing the intricacies of running a thriving nightlife business. Balancing her many roles—as a business owner, TV personality, wife, and mother—Leva remains focused on living intentionally for her family and creating spaces that unite others. Her ability to seamlessly merge ambition with authenticity has solidified her as
a standout figure in Charleston and beyond.
Elegance Meets Practicality
Leva’s home perfectly balances her sophisticated reality—it’s a powerhouse, as you might imagine. “Every element of my home is intentional—it’s not about trends; it’s about creating a space that feels like us,” she says. Each room reflects her cultural heritage through unique artistry and practical design. The entire home’s design is about beauty with purpose. It feels grand and luxurious but still completely practical for family life.
Throughout the home, she incorporates discreet yet functional storage solutions that tailor to both working and learning at home. Elegant details like brass accents, layered textures, and timeless finishes bring warmth to her Lowcountry sanctuary.
Because style and practicality go hand in hand, clever storage solutions and luxurious textures create a warm and inviting atmosphere for family life. The formal dining room, for instance, doubles as a homeschooling hub for her son, Little. This dual-purpose space is refined and resourceful, with
the credenzas artfully concealing filing cabinets filled with homeschooling materials. This integration ensures the room retains its visual appeal while supporting the family’s daily needs. “Our house serves many purposes—a family home first and a space where we entertain. Some days, the living room is glamorous; others, it’s a playroom. And, of course, my husband’s domain is over the garage—I don’t even go up there. It looks like a frat boy lives there,” she jokes.
In the piano room, dark gold floral brocade fabric brings a sense of opulence, evoking a classic, timeless feel. Its intricate pattern adds depth and visual interest, serving as a focal point that balances the space’s mix of old and new. With its black finish, the oval wood coffee table grounds the design with a sleek, modern contrast to the ornate fabric. This interplay of textures and finishes bridges traditional and contemporary styles, maintaining a storied look. The rust-colored ottoman introduces a bold, warm hue that complements the dark gold fabric. Its earthy tone enhances the cozy, lived-in feel of the room, tying together the color palette harmoniously. The design strikes a balance between vintage charm and new-age modernity. The golden fabric nods to traditional craftsmanship, while the streamlined coffee table and other
modern elements keep the space fresh and relevant. This approach makes the room feel curated rather than overly formal. The ottoman can double as extra seating or a footrest, and the coffee table provides a central surface for entertaining or display. The dark gold and rust tones evoke warmth, inviting the space year-round, while the floral pattern hints at timeless natural beauty.
In the kitchen, intentional design shines through every detail. A polished marble countertop with rounded edges complements glossy white subway tiles that rise dramatically behind the range. The cabinetry—a mix of fresh white inset styles and glass-front transoms—feels like fine furniture, with paneled sides, brass hardware, and soft LED underlighting. A custom range hood with an intricate display shelf seamlessly integrates the range, while brass fixtures, including vintageinspired hot-and-cold handles, bring a warm, European touch. The apron-front sink, overlooking a bright courtyard framed by airy white curtains, emphasizes Leva’s love for natural light. This intentional design avoids barstools at the countertop, reflecting Leva’s value of meals shared around the dining table. A Persian rug anchors the sink area, and fresh florals brighten quiet corners. The family dining

space bridges the informal living area and kitchen with a white oak table, acrylic ghost chairs, and a brass pendant light, creating a blend of elegance and charm.
In the family room, built-in entertainment cabinets frame a terracotta marble fireplace, echoing the kitchen’s cabinetry details for harmony. Sage green chenille barrel chairs and modern concrete accent tables provide Leva’s family with a simple, functional seating area, that can be easily reconfigured for guests.
Indoor/Outdoor Living
The screened porch is a serene, gardenparty-inspired retreat. Classic brick floors and a diamond-patterned jute
rug ground the space, while a Maison Margaux Green Vine tablecloth and brass dining chairs set the tone for sophisticated outdoor dining. Green velvet napkins, bamboo-embellished brass silverware, and textured green glassware tie the tabletop’s natural and metallic elements together effortlessly. A classic Charleston swing bed upholstered in a dark beige performance fabric adds timeless charm, accented by playful Folkculture scalloped pillow covers. Practical and beautiful, the porch embodies Leva’s signature mix of relaxed elegance, clear intention, and passion for hosting.
Another part of her practical design sense involves the level of styling she brings to her outdoor living spaces. “We
spend a lot of time out here, whether it’s my friends and their kids or Little and his friends. This space really suits all ages. It’s a living room-style place where parents and kids can be together without being on top of each other,” she adds. “Even though I just have my son, the exchange is often having many people over. It’s nice to keep everyone and everything, like activities for the adults and the kids, in the same space. It also doesn’t overflow into my home, which I like to keep tidy.”
The Lowcountry Lifestyle
Leva diverse background is a cornerstone of her identity. She sees her unique background as a Persian woman as both a strength and an opportunity. She leaves a memorable impression as
someone who doesn’t look like everyone else, even if her name is occasionally mispronounced. Growing up in Canada, living in Bolivia, and engaging with people from various cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds have shaped her ability to connect with others. This cultural sensitivity, including her attunement to different languages and accents, has become an asset in navigating life in the South, where diversity, inclusion, and connection are increasingly important.
For her family and business ventures, Charleston is unmatched. “It all boils down to the quality of life—the homes, how we use our outdoors, and how we constantly have friends and family over. In bigger cities like New York, you don’t have the space for that,” she says. She profoundly appreciates Charleston’s development and unique charm, aligning with her current season of life. “I’m not in the phase where I must be at every event. I’d rather put my son to bed—I’ll never regret missing those things,” she says. Leva embraces the slower Southern pace, fostering genuine connections and focusing on family over materialism. She shares, “The South is real. It’s raw and unapologetic about its imperfections, and that’s what makes it feel like home,” she says. Even with areas of suburban development, the city maintains a sense of intention and character that sets it apart from other places she’s called home.
The Leva Life
Reset & Relax
For Leva Bonaparte, home is more than a retreat—it’s where family, creativity, and culture converge.
Honing Her Hustle
Leva reflects on “hustle culture”, which she feels has pushed her generation into relentless work cycles without longterm fulfillment. She and her husband Lamar juggled their businesses for years, managing nonstop emails and long hours. Success didn’t come overnight—it required over a decade of sacrifices and hard work.
Parenthood shifted her priorities. “Children are candles to be lit, not vessels to be filled. My goal is to nurture my son’s curiosity and sense of security,” she explains. In this stage of her life, she focuses on quality time with family, reducing stress and preserving the balance she’s been working towards for so long. “My ideas flourish in calmness. I’ve learned to prioritize my health and
outsource what doesn’t serve me— my time is my most valuable asset,” Leva says.
Leva draws inspiration from her cultural background and other global traditions, where integrating children and family into daily life feels more organic, contrasting with North America’s compartmentalized approach to parenting and self-care.
Leva’s dual roles as a business owner and TV personality add a layer of complexity to her lifestyle. While her home reflects her elevated taste, it remains welcoming and grounded. “I think people see the glam side of my life, but it’s just 20% of who I am. At home, I’m in sweats, focused on my family and ideas,” she shares.
She has intentionally chosen to outsource household tasks, allowing her to focus on spending quality time with her son. By hiring help for laundry, dishes, and other chores, she alleviates the “invisible burden” often carried by mothers. While she acknowledges the privilege of being able to make this decision, she emphasizes it’s not about luxury but about prioritizing her mental well-being and family time over material indulgences. For Leva, investing in help has been critical in reducing stress and maintaining balance at home. Today, she moves slower and more intentionally, protecting her time and well-being.
Her parenting style blends cultural traditions with modern flexibility, prioritizing her son’s development over rigid rules.
(above) Leva’s courtyard is a tranquil oasis designed for outdoor gatherings. A statement green umbrella anchors the space, complemented by lush greenery and thoughtful seating arrangements that invite guests to savor Charleston’s charm.
Chic & Functional
Leva’s home combines beauty and practicality, from curated art displays to multifunctional furnishings. Each vignette tells a story—a cozy reading nook, an elegant art display, a playful corner with family heirlooms, or a piece from her worldly travels. Her home captures the essence of her design ethos, where beauty meets function for familyfocused everyday living.
“I am making choices centered on family first, but no matter what, I give my best effort, personal or business.”
The Bravo-Sphere
When Southern Charm came knocking, the producers saw Leva as someone with deep, authentic connections in Charleston. It’s no secret how her influence among the city’s dynamic 30-somethings sets the scene for its vibrant nightlife. Leva strategically embraced the opportunity, recognizing it as a way to introduce herself to a broader audience and lay the groundwork for a future show. Her experience on Southern Charm helped her understand the dynamics of reality TV. It solidified her vision for Southern Hospitality – ensuring she could launch it in a way that truly represented her brand. Southern Hospitality was always a part of her journey, even before her time on Southern Charm For years, she received offers for shows about her restaurants from various production companies. With Republic already established as a premier destination, Leva was determined to ensure the show upheld the brand’s reputation rather than turning the space into a tourist trap or losing its core identity. Unlike many reality shows that spotlight struggling businesses, Republic was thriving, making the decision to open it to a national audience even riskier. Balancing her roles as executive producer, cast member, and business owner was a steep learning curve, particularly as she navigated the complexities of producing an “occu-series” focused on her staff and operations. At home or in front of bright lights, Leva gives this her all. Through trial and error during the show’s early years, Leva worked closely with the network to protect Republic’s integrity while embracing the opportunity to expand her brand. Catch Leva on season 10 of Southern Charm and stay tuned for season 3 of Southern Hospitality on Bravo. ✴

STRIPED LEMON DESIGN
When Andrea Dussault of Striped Lemon Design was tasked with transforming an outdated family room with a challenging layout and mismatched furnishings, she knew the key to success would be to create a cohesive design that seamlessly connected the space to the rest of the main floor.
The homeowner had a few sentimental DIY projects they wanted to keep, including a driftwood accent wall, a farmhouse ceiling fan, and a new electric fireplace insert. To address the disjointed flow, the first step was replacing the three different types of flooring scattered throughout the main floor with a single, consistent hardwood. This was the perfect time to gut the kitchen and create a new layout to connect the kitchen, family, and dining room better.
Andrea Dussault stripedlemondesign.com
Fresh paint, new trim work, French doors, and a reimagined floor plan laid the foundation for the final design. Andrea chose a stunning Annie Selke rug to anchor the space to bring the vision to life, while new furnishings and accessories embraced a coastal farmhouse vibe. “This project is a perfect example of how I collaborate with my clients by listening to their needs, helping them identify challenges and solutions, and ultimately designing spaces that reflect their style and improve their daily lives,” explains Andrea.

This home has a lot of beautiful lowcountry elements and farmhouse finishes, which are great, but their clients were wanting a blend of British Colonial, with vibrant colors and textures mixed in. Brittany Hanlon and Stephanie Gannon of Hayes + Nash Design Co. say, “The goal was to use the existing elements as a backdrop and create a custom home filled with nods to the Caribbean and Mexico where their clients travel frequently.”
“USE THE EXISTING ELEMENTS AS A BACKDROP AND CREATE A CUSTOM HOME FILLED WITH NODS TO THE CARIBBEAN AND MEXICO.”

CHD INTERIORS
From a mountain-to-coast move, Gabrielle Pendarvis of CHD Interiors reimagined a Charleston home with engineered white oak floors, colorful accents, and artistic furnishings. Floral arrangements and bold textures bring organic warmth, balancing sophistication with comfort. To liven up the space and add touches of coastal tones, Gabrielle deliberately placed pops of color within the home, with exquisite artistic pieces and eye-catching, textured furniture dispersed throughout.
Light fixtures, windows, and other wall and ceiling décor enhance each room’s visual appeal, making the space open and welcoming. The bedroom and kitchen areas are accentuated through gorgeous wallpaper and tile display, grabbing instant attention and collectively balancing the subdued color schemes in other home areas.

JOY ARCHITECTURE + INTERIOR DESIGN
This historic home needed an architect and interior designer duo to accommodate a family with three teenagers. Built in 1924, the woodwork and materials were chosen to blend the new and old. The original millwork was replicated in the remodeled rooms, and the latest addition ensured a unified look.
Bold tiles, patterns, and fixtures were chosen to reflect the owner’s love of color and contrast. The décor now seamlessly merges their home’s historic and modern elements, creating a cohesive space that perfectly suits their active, young family. The original sunroom was converted into a mudroom with a closet and powder room on the main floor. Exotic wallpaper, cabinetry, and sink add playfulness, durability, and joy to the space.
A new three-level addition includes a basement bedroom with daylight windows, a new sunroom with elevated views, and a primary suite with a Juliette balcony. The other three second-floor bedrooms were reconfigured for better circulation and more efficient space use.

IMAGINE HOME
Owner of Imagine Home, principal designer Staci Lantz helped a family transition from New York City to the Lowcountry by incorporating bold board-andbatten trim, painted ceilings, and vibrant wallpaper in this secondary bathroom.
“We pushed the boundaries of their comfort zone to create a home full of personality and warmth. As designers, we must help our clients see beyond to explore new colors and styles. In this way, we design spaces that better reflect their homes with character and personality,” Staci explains.
Imagine Home’s lead designer designed and furnished this Kiawah home, with elements sourced from her local retail space. White oak hardwood floors and Curry + Co. light fixtures brighten and harmonize the open-concept floor plan.

RIVERSIDE DESIGNERS
What was once a vacant lot on Daniel Island is now the perfect home for this family. Riverside Designers, led by Shay Patterson, was brought in early by the builders of Lowcountry Premier Custom Homes to shape the design of this custom build.
Based on balance and composition principles, Shay crafted spaces that feel warm and inviting. Monochromatic patterns paired with bold black fixtures, accents, and furnishings contrast the crisp white walls and hardwood floors.
Every detail was thoughtfully considered, from the backsplashes and cabinetry hardware to the sculptural lighting, ensuring each space was livable and lavish.

SEAWAH FURNITURE | DESIGN
“A common misconception about coastal design is that it has to be all about seashells and coral prints,” says John Dolan of Seawah Furniture | Design. “I love using rich colors and organic textures in my design projects to create a serene environment that will transport you to the shores of your favorite destination or give you the feeling of a fond memory from the past,” he adds.
This project exudes a laid-back yet functional coastal vibe. The sofa is upholstered in rich blue velvet, and that depth of color is beautifully echoed in the accent island, creating a seamless flow throughout the design. A tapestry from the client’s previous travels is paired with modern accent pieces, creating the perfect blend of old and new.

MARY WELCH FOX DESIGN
This home’s beautifully curved doorways and exquisite stone selections were meticulously selected and crafted with every detail.
Mary Welch Fox explains, “This design reflects our unique style and allowed us to take bold risks with playful elements, such as the distinctive stone. Bottega Surfaces supplied the stone in the kitchen, and MVP Granite Countertops handled the fabrication. We’re particularly proud of how this project highlights our creativity and attention to detail,” she shares.
As a spec house built by Saltwater Homes, the design goal was to create a universally appealing dream home, even without a specific buyer. The team did so by blending custom elements with features that resonate with a broad audience.
Mary Welch Fox marywelchfox.com
Every detail was thoughtfully crafted to ensure a balance of luxury and practicality. “While there is no buyer, we would be lying if we said we didn’t already have a stunning furniture plan in mind,” she says.
“THIS DESIGN REFLECTS OUR UNIQUE STYLE AND ALLOWED US TO TAKE BOLD RISKS WITH PLAYFUL ELEMENTS SUCH AS THE DISTINCTIVE STONE.”

SIMPLY CURATED DESIGNS
Amber Jackson of Simply Curated Designs combined traditional Southern charm with modern Lowcountry influences to create a seamless flow between spaces in this home design. “My design style blends traditional Southern charm with modern touches, drawing inspiration from the Lowcountry’s colors, textures, and history,” says Amber. “I love incorporating blues and greens, often inspired by Charleston’s iconic architecture and cobblestone streets. This project is no exception.”
To bring the vision to life, Amber sourced a stunning rattan light fixture above the dining table, perfectly complementing the dining chairs. A vibrant pink rug introduces a pop of color, adding warmth and personality to the space. Amber remodeled the fireplace with a striking off-white herringbone pattern, enhancing the room’s charm and character.

Robyn Branch took a spur-of-the-moment home purchase into a personalized oasis. She added thoughtful touches to the otherwise plain home, transforming it into a space full of life and character.
The living room fireplace was amped up, and a pecky cypress beam covered the drywall stark beam. The leftover pecky wood used in the loft is visible from the living room. A builtin bar was tiled with the condo’s intended tile, which dictated the color scheme.
One standout transformation? A once-odd den now serves as a cozy wine lounge. “We turned a challenge into an opportunity for creativity and comfort,” says Robyn.

Cooking up the Classics
This new build was stripped down and ready for its custom gold leaf-strapped hood, floating dry bar with tempered glass shelving, and high-end lighting, among all the other touches we brought to the fore. A custom color for the island was chosen based on a gorgeous mural in the dining area adjacent to the kitchen.

Coastal Warmth
This designer played a crucial role in selecting elements that flawlessly combine functionality and style in this kitchen. The expansive island features Dolomite countertops, seating for seven, a farmhouse sink, and built-in appliances. White marble wraps the perimeter, highlighting an eight-burner stovetop, custom hood range, and pot filler. A marble backsplash with gold inlay pairs beautifully with the custom cabinetry, while elegant pendant lights from Lowcountry Lighting Studio add interest.

A Chef’s Dream
In this kitchen, custom home builder Tommy Priester enlisted the help of crafted cabinetry with glass storage from The Cabinet Shop, bringing style and function to the space.

Gridless windows were installed, offering an unobstructed view of the water, and the open floor plan enhances the connection to the stunning surroundings.

A Crisp Cooking Space
This local interior designer transformed the entire kitchen with a complete renovation. The island was redesigned to a single level and topped with sleek new quartz countertops fabricated by Palmetto Surfacing. The new cabinetry, in crisp white and a subtle powder blue, adds a fresh pop of color, while pendant lighting by Lowcountry Lighting Studio and updated counter stools offer a Parisian flair. A white 3x12 glossy glazed ceramic backsplash completes the range wall. Brushed brass hardware and plumbing fixtures by Moluf’s Supply tie everything together, complemented by fresh ceilings, walls, and trim paint.

Robyn Branch took on a unique challenge with this kitchen remodel: creating a chef’s dream space, even though the homeowners don’t cook! Focusing on beauty and function, Robyn designed a large island with an integrated sink and a secondary island with seating for four, featuring a prep sink, dishwasher, and double trash pull-out. A striking, custom backsplash frames the stove and range hood, elevating the design further. A secondary bar doubles as a prep area.
