We started this project in February of 2022 for a young family looking to create their dream home as their family grows. Our clients were already local to the area, but wanted to build in an up and coming new development close to all that Inlet Beach, Florida has to offer.

Upon entering, you’re struck by the airy, open feel of the space. You’re immediately greeted by custom paneled walls, two story ceilings and an arched entryway that matches the shape of the front exterior. The home blends feminine style with vintage charm and preppy accents.

The main living area of the home boasts a beautiful custom white oak coffered ceiling detail, arched doorways, paneled wall details and large floor to ceiling accordion doors to open into the screened in outdoor dining space. The home owners wanted a space where they could entertain, but still feel cozy when they were home with the family. We brought in texture and interest by mixing different materials and patterns like jute, rattan, florals and stripes.

The accordion doors between the living room and outdoor dining area can be fully opened to seamlessly merge the spaces, flooding the room with natural light—perfect for entertaining. For added versatility, floor-to-ceiling drapery allows you to section off the space as needed.

The sitting room, located behind the double-sided fireplace off the living room, offers an intimate retreat for special occasions. We were able to mix and match patterns and play with patterned upholstery throughout the home, which truly shines in this space. By sticking to a color palette of blues, greens, and creams, we achieved a coastal feel with southern influences.

We introduced a splash of color into this space with a stunning blue range. By combining covered cabinets with glass-front doors, we transformed the cabinetry into a furniture-like feature, perfect for showcasing the client’s beautiful collection of dinnerware gathered over the years. The white oak island is topped with a marble waterfall counter, complete with matching side panels for a cohesive and elegant look.

We had fun with colors and patterns in the formal dining room by adding floral wallpaper and patterned upholstery on the dining chairs. Inspired by our recent travels to Charleston, we incorporated stunning wall paneling details reminiscent of the charming house we visited. See inspiration here.

The breakfast nook, nestled off the kitchen in a cozy corner, offers the home owners a casual space to start their day together as a family. We incorporated the client’s grandmother’s plate collection, hanging them on the wall as both an art piece and a meaningful display of a family heirloom. The bench seats, crafted with Brooke & Lou’s wipeable and durable fabric, perfectly complement the custom window treatments.

The pantry adds a vibrant pop of color with bold blue painted cabinets. To introduce some pattern, we included a custom café skirt under the sink, complemented by a tiled backsplash. The cabinets feature venting details for added visual interest. Just off the pantry, the laundry room boasts gingham wallpaper and checked flooring. We chose a neutral color palette, with cool-toned walls and warm-toned floors. To ensure harmony, we varied the scale of the checks to prevent any clashing.

In the mudroom, we opted for stained cabinets for enhanced durability, featuring decorative cutouts for ventilation on the doors. The main level powder bath offers a fun pop of color with classic, feminine wallpaper. This charming space is completed with a custom scalloped-edge vanity.

For the office, we embraced a more masculine aesthetic with stained ceiling details and dark, moody navy wall paneling. To complete the look, we chose a subtle, masculine print wallpaper. Built-in shelving adds both functionality and sophistication, providing ample space for books and decor, seamlessly blending style and utility.
