Tour an English Country Home With Midcentury Miami Beach Style
Not much had been done to this England homeowner’s 1950s bungalow. Its compartmentalized rooms and dated style needed major updating. The homeowner, a single retiree who frequently travels but likes to entertain when she’s home, gave designer Sara Slade several wish list items to get started: an open layout, more natural light, an improved visual and physical connection to outdoor areas, and midcentury Miami Beach style.
Slade, whom the homeowner found on Houzz and who uses Houzz Pro business software, took down several walls to create a party-friendly open layout. A glassed-in addition with retractable doors off the front of the home fully opens the kitchen and a sitting area to the outdoors. Curved white kitchen cabinetry with gold details channels a classic Miami Beach vibe. Pastel blues, greens and pinks in the decor and artwork add splashes of soft color.
Where did you get vanity/ travel trunks? I have been looking for one in ages😟
The name of the company is Starbay, and it is called the Marie-Galante chest - you can find some on FirstDibs and Ebay if you are lucky x
Love the glass shaded ceiling light. Where is that from please?
Hello, where is the lovely artwork from? Specifically the large pink and green abstracts. Thank you!
I just designed an oval bar/base cabinet with a light color palette with a marble top for a diminutive space for a 70s home. It's just a sketch at this point but I LOVE seeing the cabinets that have this detail. I'd love to know more about this cabinet manufacturer in Cambridge that did those. Fantastic job. Perfections. Kudos!!
Hello, the glass ceiling light is from Heathfield & Co. The artwork was from a very talented Irish artist called Lola Donaghue. The cabinets were all designed by us and manufactured by our joiners x
This is one of the most informative, insightful and enjoyable renovation walkthroughs I have ever watched. Thank you @Sara Slade and Houzz.
Thank you so much Thomas, this is wonderful to hear!
So, so pretty! I could never keep it clean, myself, but it's vicariously fun to at least tour.
Thank you for the love for this project!
Loved the tour and your style. Can you please tell me the source for those great pink chairs that you are sitting on.
Hello! Of course, they are the Vitra Slow Chairs with the ottomans - these were designed by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec in 2006 but have become a real design classic and they are incredibly comfortable!
