Mountain Casual

A tragic victim to left over furniture, dated colors and some really bad Raymond Waites 1990′s wallpaper, this downstairs den was completely wasted on the elderly couple who previously owned this mountain home.  Now the second home for a younger family, the new owners wanted to reserve the upstairs rooms – with large stone fireplace, vaulted wood ceilings and spectacular view – for entertaining.  This presented a great opportunity to create a casual living space below, adding livability and flexibility for the family.

Traditional & Beach Styles Meet in an Intracoastal Home

When our clients approached us about moving their traditional furniture from Columbia and their beach house furniture into a new home on the Intracoastal Waterway, we were excited for the challenge. First, there were many renovations to be done to the exterior and interior to make the house suitable for their needs and accommodate their existing furniture.

A Happy Beach Place – Expanding for a Growing Family

My clients decided to update their beach house sitting room for their expanding family by adding a new bathroom off this room and a sofa bed for their grandchildren to sleep.  Painting the stained walls and cabinets along with the lively new color scheme changed the look of the room.  We covered the sofa in Sunbrella fabric so that it will withstand the fun times their grandbabies will have in this room.  It’s a happy space to be in now!

The before…

The after…

The French doors were moved over to accommodate the door to the new bath.  The wainscoting ties in with the painted wood panelled walls in the sitting room.

Between the new sofa bed in the sitting room and the four bunk beds in a nearby bedroom, all the grandchildren have a place of their own!
