Navy Yard Charleston has opened its doors to Textures, a luxury hardwood company known for its curated wood finishes. The 1,620-sqft showroom is nestled in the Charleston Design District on the ground floor of Storehouse Nine.
“As a native South Carolinian, opening our showroom in Charleston feels deeply personal. Textures has always been about celebrating beauty, and Charleston — rich in history, design, and soul — is a place that truly embodies that,” said Andrew Denny, founder of Textures.
Fun fact: Textures has a partnership with Encore Lumber, a trusted local provider of reclaimed lumber and millwork.

Number
10,000. That’s how many trees the city wants to plant for a beautification project that will also provide more shade for the city. The decades-old plan comes from former Mayor Joe Riley’s 2012 initiative in his State of the City address. The city planted some trees, but never completed the goal. (WCBD)
