With the balcony doors open, you can hear the waves crashing outside and smell the salty air. It’s the perfect combination of city meets beach. Chris Frick

The beautiful shingle home was built several years prior, but progress stalled and the interior was never fully finished off, creating more of a weekend crash pad than second home. We had 4 months to fully furnish and accessorize the 4+ bedroom home before they hosted a large family reunion. We tackled a function problem first. The home, with its open floor plan, had multiple types of flooring, which only served to chop up the space. Worse, most of the flooring was cream carpet and not suitable for waterfront living. We replaced the mismatch with durable driftwood floors that will stand up to years of sandy feet and party spills. We selected and installed all the finishing touches - furniture, window treatments, accessories, bedding and art. And we beat our reunion deadline by a week, giving the homeowners a chance to enjoy it all to themselves before the guests arrived

This multi-zone playroom is a dream come true for a family with a teenaged boy and two tween girls! With a hangout area full of bean bags, disco balls, a neon peace sign and a modern acrylic bubble chair, an indoor basketball court with a padded floor, and a climbing wall and foam pit (perfect for dunking baskets and crashing in), there’s no shortage of fun. The multiple swings—like the aerial silks for flips and the trapeze—add to the excitement. We kept the space open, with distinct zones for each activity, and used different flooring to make each zone feel unique while keeping the family together. The calming green color adds a pop of vibrancy, while the art area encourages the kids to express their creativity. Whether it's blowing off steam on the climbing wall or getting together with friends, this playroom has quickly become the family’s favorite hangout spot.

In the Busse Master bathroom, we tore down a wall to increase space. Originally doors separated the vanity from the commode and shower. We installed a closet with frosted glass doors and accent lighting inside. A sliding white barn door with wrought iron trim was installed at the entrance. The vanity is 72" with a double bowl, is custom-made and espresso-stained with 4-stacked drawers and granite counter top. The vanity has a backsplash with 2 rectangular under mount bowls. Two Delta 8" spread Ashlyn faucet in a brushed nickel finish are mounted on the countertop. Two wood-framed mirrors and full-length linen tower match the vanity with 2 sets of 3 vanity lights. The shower is 12' x12' with faux marble, in an offset pattern, floor to ceiling tile with 4" feature strip with extra-wide recessed niche. Delta shower faucet with the Intuition handheld/shower head combine in a brushed nickel finish. Heavy frameless hinged shower door with panels. The floor is 2" x 2" tile to match the bathroom floor which is a 13" x13" straight pattern, porcelain tile with matching tile baseboard. The white commode is a Mansfield pressure-assist. http://www.melissamannphotography.com/

Bathroom An 1878 Victorian with an eclectic history and beautiful bones is transformed into a series of light filled, expansive spaces. Care was taken to retain the traditional Victorian detailing while adding a modern casework and furnishings to update the space. The house had been through many incarnations – including housing for naval officers, home to a dental school, crash pad for rock stars – all of which left their mark on the architecture. Before any design decisions could be made, the house was stripped to its bones, which revealed capacious and thoughtfully designed spaces. The design intent was to honor the original architecture and traditional detailing – decorative door knobs, intricate moldings – and blend Victorian with modern.

The home was built in 1962 and had dark paneling installed throughout. This paneling, now with special treatment, has been refinished and painted white to make a very dark room light and airy. Plank hickory flooring has been installed throughout the house. An area in the family room has been designated as dining room space, seating eight guests. A bookcase has been expanded and built into a beautiful interior lite cabinet with glass shelves and glass front uppers, storing essentials for wine tasting as well as serving pieces. The once "crash family room" now serves the entire family as a gathering space for many happy occasions.

Dramatic changes to the open book shelves by painting the back wall and following the same color theme throughout the house. The over sized ship skin bean bag chairs are a favorite kids crash out spot. The large area fug is soft on the feet over the hard wood floors.
