COASTAL

RETREAT

Tropical living at its best is when you feel as though you're on permanent vacation. With a pool and lush landscaping at this modern home, it wasn't difficult to imagine yourself at a boutique hotel. The lines of the house were modern, although it had gone through several owners — each of whom had left their renovating stamp.

​

One of the biggest tasks was to update the kitchen which had the all too popular black granite countertops and blond wood cabinets that showed up in most kitchens a decade ago. The cabinets were sprayed a clean white and then replaced with new hardware. The herringbone patterned marble back splash is a marvel to see and lifts the kitchen out of the past. 

​

Since most of the materials were a neutral base, we upholstered a dramatic red-orange fabric on matching mid-century side chairs. A sectional sofa helped anchor the living room area along with a custom-sized wall unit. Coordinating dec pillows carry the red-orange color across the room.
