The theme of bright colors mixed with neutral tones is carried into
the master bath to create a tranquil room. “The Sullivans were smart
in their choice of finishes. They understood that you don’t have to

new homeowners,” says Michael Peel, co-founded
of Gulfstream Homes. This commitment includes
limiting the number of projects supervisors
manage and using special software that clients

He actually became a friend to us during the
process. This is probably the most expensive
purchase one will ever make, so for us, having
someone like Dominic available when we needed
him was such a stress reliever and allowed us to
enjoy the process and the final result.”
