If walls could talk, the stories harbored in this Wrightsville Beach historic house on Henderson Street would go on for days. The history that pours from the front doors as guests are welcomed in was important for her new owner's to preserve while remodeling. And so, here, the cedar-shaked beach cottage stands on stilts overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway telling stories of her birth in 1941, survival of hurricanes like Hazel, hot summer nights, well over 70 Thanksgiving dinners when fresh catch from her dock was more important than the turkey baking in her kitchen, children counting shooting stars from her front porch and, now, her new life after quite a bit of reconstruction. While maintaining every bit of history possible, each room was reevaluated closely by the owners and Schmidt Custom Builders in a collaboration to bring new life to the bones of this three-story beach beauty. New hardwoods went in to replace what was no longer able to be resurfaced to match the original flooring. New fixtures adorn every wall and ceiling to add classic modernity as well as a coat of fresh paint. Floor to ceiling windows were added to the living room to bring scenes of the water world in. And above the living room, an en suite was added as a getaway retreat for the parents of four. This master bathroom includes a wall-to-wall countertop with his and hers vanities, an enormous rainfall shower and a free-standing tub that stares off into the sound. The kitchen took on a complete new look with all new appliances, fresh white cabinets, backsplash, fixtures and countertops as it was opened up into the living room to create more space. On the outside, Schmidt Custom Builders added a custom outdoor shower to the sound side of the home and a full bar with a tap that serves as the perfect welcome to the L-shaped porch.

Taking industrial design one step further, Watermark Designs’ new Elan Vital collection combines the utilitarian aesthetic of Industrial Design with the ability to completely customize faucets. Reminiscent of industrial steam pipes, Elan Vital may look as though it was plucked from an 18th century factory, but it has all the modern touches: a 1.5gpm aerator (finished with intricate knurled metal), and the industry’s smallest exposed thermostatic valve used for the shower, giving the cleanest finish for installers plus 2.5 gpm per outlet capability. Elan’s 1/4 turn washerless ceramic disk vaulted lever handles are reminiscent of commercial ball valves, with the words “Hot” and “Cold” engraved into the brass. While Elan offers refined industrial styling, Watermark has also designed the collection to do the impossible: it’s making custom standard. The galvanized pipe and industrial design made of solid brass construction allows for endless customization. With Elan Vital, you literally specify how many elbows you want or need and in which of Watermark Designs 40 finishes you want the finished product. If you prefer a different handle, you can choose from one of Watermark’s 130 designs. A complete collection, Elan Vital is available as a widespread, elevated widespread, single-handle wall mounted, widespread-wall mounted, two-handle wall mounted, bridge wall mount, wall mount, deck mount, floor mount with hand shower and thermostatic shower.
