At Seaboard Builders, we believe the most compelling homes are born from a seamless dialogue between architectural bones and interior soul. We are thrilled to share that one of our recent projects, a refined coastal cottage tucked away on Johns Island, has been featured by Veranda for its masterful approach to texture and materiality.

The heart of this home lies in a kitchen that moves beyond the expected. Collaborating with the talented Grace Frederick Design, we worked to ensure every custom finish provided the perfect canvas for her layered, sophisticated vision. The result is a space that feels deeply rooted in the Lowcountry landscape while maintaining a crisp, contemporary edge.

In the feature, Grace discusses the importance of softening the "hard" surfaces of a kitchen with unexpected elements like woven wallcoverings. As she notes in the article:

“Kitchens can easily feel overly utilitarian, so I love introducing woven wallcoverings, grasscloth, sisal, or subtle textured weaves to bring warmth and softness to the space. The added texture creates depth and balance against hard surfaces like stone and cabinetry, making the room feel more layered and inviting.”

Seeing our craftsmanship highlighted in a premier design publication like Veranda is a testament to the power of collaboration. Read the full article here and see more of this home here.
