Appreciation Lunch

In order to show their appreciation to all those who have been part of their remodel, our clients in the Crescent in West Ashley hosted a lunch catered by Food for the Southern Soul. Everyone came out on a beautiful Monday afternoon and had their fill of barbecue, red rice, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and sweet tea. It was a wonderful time for everyone to come together and celebrate the hard work that will make this home even more of a dream home for our client.

Le Creuset Photo Shoot

Many exciting things are taking place at our most recently completed custom home on Daniel Island. First, it serves as the cover feature on the latest issue of Charleston Style & Design magazine. Second, Le Creuset set up shop in their kitchen and living room this past week for a photo shoot.

Cars lined the streets outside, and Le Creuset's finest products packed the back porch.

Photographer Matthew Scott and his team captured photos for the Le Creuset website.

The table was set multiple times with varying colors of Le Creuset dining ware, cookware, and wine glasses. Iverson Catering used the beautiful kitchen to prepare food for the shoot. We captured a glimpse of the tabletop - stay tuned to Le Creuset's website for the full pictures.

Muddy Boots Marketing Meeting

In preparation for last Sunday's Muddy Boots Open House, Deborah and Anne Marie took their marketing meeting to Ben and Jerry's Ice Cream on Isle of Palms for the annual Free Cone Day. Deborah has been celebrating with Ben and Jerry's for the past 16 years, and this year did not disappoint.


You could say that a lot of details and planning went into our Open House for a custom home in the Old Village - solely based on the number of scoops Deborah and Anne Marie consumed.

The event turned out to be a great opportunity to show our building practices that help create an energy-efficient, sustainable, healthy and more durable home. Thanks to everyone who came out to our Muddy Boots Open House, we enjoyed having you there!

Renovation in The Crescent

A ReStructures renovation, designed by Architrave, is underway in The Crescent neighborhood in West Ashley. With changes to be seen around every corner and additions to the lower and upper levels, this project will update the space and charm of this greatly loved, existing home. It was fun to look up the carpeted stairwell and see the blue sky!

Too bad you can't see all the work that's taking place on the left side of the house where the master suite/additional upstairs bedrooms are being created behind all the towering trees. Once they are pruned, it will reveal a completely new expanded section! Our favorite part of the renovation process is ensuring that our clients' dreams are realized and accomplished without giving up the location or memories they have already made in their home over the years. The family is so excited to know their life will simply pick back up and continue to take place in the "same" but greatly improved home!

Happy 5th Anniversary Deborah!

Join us in celebrating Deborah’s 5th year with Structures Building Company! As Designer, Deborah seamlessly guides her clients through the process of selecting the finishes and finer details of their custom home. She's unique in her ability to bring both laughter and professionalism to every client interaction. She brings this same spirit to the office, and is a true ray of sunshine! Thank you Deb for all you do! Happy Anniversary!
