This ocean-front shingled Gambrel style house is home to a young family with little kids who lead an active, outdoor lifestyle. My goal was to create a bespoke, colorful and eclectic interior that looked sophisticated and fresh, but that was tough enough to withstand salt, sand and wet kids galore. The palette of coral and blue is an obvious choice, but we tried to translate it into a less expected, slightly updated way, hence the front door! Liberal use of indoor-outdoor fabrics created a seamless appearance while preserving the utility needed for this full time seaside residence. photo: Michael J Lee Photography

This custom-built home was artfully designed by Platt Architects. One of Cashiers’ finest luxury homes, Cashiers Revisited is located in the private golf community of Wade Hampton Golf Club. This Morgan-Keefe home provides the joys of mountain living and expansive mountain views with a modern cabin appeal. The tasteful and unique details of Cashiers Revisited truly make this home a work of art. Details such as the wood penny gap walls, hand-cut tenon handrails, and a stunning stone fireplace anchoring the traditional living room give this home an authentic cabin feel paired with the conveniences of modern materials.

We update the look of the room by painting the red brick fireplace with white paint. The mantle was painted with a high gloss finish. We gave the barn boards a more finished appearance by adding strips of lathe at the seam of each board.

This home sits on a golf course in the Pinery in Colorado with the adjacent kitchen updated several years ago, the fireplace and the rest of the home felt out of place. We designed this fireplace to have the same feel as the kitchen and tie the whole home together.

We updated this fireplace with a mosaic tile, new mantle and Fantasy Brown quartzite hearth
