For this lively beachside home, beige was banished in favor of vivid color and a progressive vintage attitude. A captivating library/office room is a centerpiece of the first level. In the sitting room a slatted wall treatment above the custom built tile fireplace creates an illusion of depth in the long, narrow, cozy space and minimizes the large television. The kitchen was transformed by adding generous bursts of bold color and unusually thick walls of glittering tile. The master bedroom upstairs is entered through a sliding barn door, a quirky rustic note against walls of intense blue.
