Material expression and exterior finishes were carefully selected to reduce the apparent size of the house, last through many years, and add warmth and human scale to the home. The unique siding system is made up of different widths and depths of western red cedar, complementing the vision of the structure's wings which are balanced, not symmetrical. The exterior materials include a burn brick base, powder-coated steel, cedar, acid-washed concrete and Corten steel planters.

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.

A coastal Marco Island sofa refresh featuring a custom washable slipcover and new cushion inserts in Sunbrella Sailcloth Salt. The project was designed to update the look, improve comfort, and extend the life of quality furniture with a tailored fit, performance fabric, and relaxed Florida style.

This Naples sofa refresh transformed a bold red upholstered sofa with a soft mellow white custom slipcover. The new slipcover gave the piece a cleaner, more versatile look while preserving the original furniture. Designed for everyday use, the slipcover was measured, patterned, fabricated, and finished with attention to fit, proportion, washability, and relaxed Florida style.
