The owner of this home was looking for a new look. She happens to be an incredible artist and knew exactly what she was looking for, "an open beach theme".

This was accomplished by removing half of the wall between the kitchen, dining room and living room and creating a breakfast bar with 3 new cabinets and an oak divider beside the refrigerator. Another small wall was removed between the kitchen and dining area as well.

The wall paper was removed, the sunken living room was raised/carpeted and all of the popcorn texture was removed from the ceiling. Then the entire ceiling was retextured to eliminate the room separations caused by the three different textures. The look she was going for was clouds above the beach.

The large windows in the living room were cased in as well as the window above the kitchen sink to tie them into the oak in the kitchen.

Then the new counter tops went in. These are made of Ice Stone which is a mixture of recycled glass and concrete. The color is Sky Pearl. Once the counter tops were in the mosaic glass tile was installed. The tile is Caicos Glass Mosaic and the color is "Blue Beach".

The final touches were the can lights installed in the living room and pendant lights over the breakfast bar and dining room. The pendant lights are made from hand blown vases with the bottoms cut out and this special look is to represent jellyfish. The effect is awesome.
