The formal living room is one of our favorites! The chairs are not only elegant, they’re also incredibly comfortable and offer just the right height of pillow to ensure you can get really comfy. It’s elegant coastal decor at its finest with chairs constructed of white-lacquered mahogany with handwoven cane sides and back. The upholstery and lumbar pillows are made of a creamy linen fabric. The gorgeous chandelier is a showstopper, made of wrought iron, pairs an airy open design with a glossy glass droplet accent crystal in the middle. Don’t forget the cocktail ottoman, made of natural oak wood and linen-tufted fabric on top with bronze nailheads to complete the look. A family heirloom comes into play with an old record player that they wanted to showcase. A fun and unique piece, it fits beautifully between the two French doors that open to the front porch. The French doors have custom woven wood shades with a pair of simple wide linen stripe custom draperies flanking one side. This room is a perfect place to sit and read or sip a glass of wine.

Hickory wide plank floors with their unique graining invite you to walk-on in and enjoy

The Family Room included a sofa, coffee table, and piano that the family wanted to keep. We wanted to ensure that this space worked with higher volumes of foot traffic, more frequent use, and of course… the occasional spills. We used an indoor/outdoor rug that is soft underfoot and brought in the beautiful coastal aquas and blues with it. A sturdy oak cabinet atop brass metal legs makes for an organized place to stash games, art supplies, and toys to keep the family room neat and tidy, while still allowing for a space to live. Even the remotes and video game controllers have their place. Behind the media stand is a feature wall, done by our contractor per our design, which turned out phenomenally! It features an exaggerated and unique diamond pattern. We love to design spaces that are just as functional, as they are beautiful.

THE PROBLEM Our client adores their traditional layout and their traditional design style. But there were a few things that could be improved including flow and functionality in the kitchen - not to mention the cabinets, counters and appliances that had seen better days. The family room was used heavily for movie viewing, but it did not have a great set-up for the TV and was seriously lacking in the audio department. Their garage entry had become the primary way into the home for the homeowners, however it did not offer the welcoming feeling they wanted to have after a long day. THE SOLUTION To create better flow, we shifted the entry from the mud hall down a bit which gave us the space to add another run of cabinetry and relocate the fridge. We closed up the former dining room wall and converted it into a new office space as both homeowners work from home. Due to the shift in the entry from the mud hall, we also were able to then center the island to where it should be in the room creating some much needed balance. Because we were not creating an open floor plan and removing walls and such, there was more budget for high ticket finishes. One of which was a 11’ custom walnut countertop for the island which became the anchoring design element for the kitchen along with custom cabinetry and high-end appliances.

This "Great Room" was created by removing walls between the kitchen, bedroom and hallway. New windows and a french door connect it to the new screened in porch. The color scheme for this large space was to be a dreamy, lake inspired blue and white. Once most things were installed it was clear that the room felt too "floaty", or airy. In Feng Shui language there was too much Chi moving through the space. We are attempting to help the space feel more anchored by introducing some more color (The persimmon colored rug, the console table table which was an old sleigh, plants and bolder artwork.
