Designer Cyndie McManus redesigned a retired couple’s Isle of Palms condo to create a calm beachside retreat. Inspired by nature – the beach, sand and water – Cyndie created a design palette with coastal colors and patterns. The condo is full of seaside hues like soft greens and blues mixed with white and wooden textures. Cyndie even refinished some of the couple’s furniture herself by distressing some of the wood and adding a fresh coat of paint to other pieces. She continued her seaside theme into the guest bedroom, where she added a pop of coral to their nightstand, which she painted herself. The neutral starfish patterned custom draperies added to the decor and coastal flair. A second bedroom continued the inviting palette with blues and greens. We love the fabric she chose for the bedspread.

The family room wall was designed around the homeowners' love for the New England area. We used Cape Cod Cedar Shakes to create the illusion that the family room was an addition to the exterior of another home. The stacked stone fireplace with rough-hewn mantel adds to the family room's relaxed, cozy, coastal feel.

This family loves all things coastal. The cool, clean blue, wheat, and white color palette gives this family room its breezy, relaxed, coastal feel. We used real beach sand and shells as accents inside hurricane glass candle holders and real starfish on the drapes. The room is anchored with a large sea grass rug. Using natural organic elements gives this room an authentic touch of the outdoors.
