A seaside interior calls for tropical woven shades. These flat roman styled shades are a beautiful compliment to this airy and relaxing living space filled with the soothing color scheme one finds at the beach. Photo: Horizons Window Fashions scheme that are found at the beach.

Furthering her plan to enhance the room's architecture, Suzanne turned one corner of the kitchen into a cheery dining area with an L-shaped built-in bench that mimics the cabinetry. To keep the dining nook cozy (not restaurant-like) she surrounded the metal bistro table with slipcovered armchairs and hung a sparkly chandelier above. Using the same patterned fabric on the window valances and pillows throughout (Montmartre in Clay/Blue from her own collection for Lee Jofa; leejofa.com), Suzanne introduced color and life to the kitchen without taking away from the all-white effect.
