OPEN CONCEPT
ACCESSIBILITY
“Open concept living is so popular
here in Naples, so we created a home
centered around the great room
and an easy transition to the large
outdoor living spaces,” says Borelli.
The kitchen, dining room, and bar are
all conveniently accessible for easy
entertaining. Crisp white and grey
are enhanced by royal blue accent
pillows and dark wood and metal
tables. On the far side of the room,
the bar, stained to match the kitchen
island, boasts two wine refrigerators,
sink, and plenty of storage for bar
items. The beautiful ceiling details
found in the foyer are extended to
the great room while LED lights and
a chandelier by Visual Comfort & Co.
set the mood for all occasions.
CHEF’S PARADISE
The kitchen is always a wonderful
place to gather and this home’s large
island offers plenty of prep space and
is topped with leathered Taj Mahal
quartzite. The same stone is used on
the perimeter countertops but has
been given a polished finish. On the
island, the slab is thicker so the edge of
the stone has a more dramatic effect.
Double stepped shaker style cabinets
which reach the ceiling with backlit
glass inserts are complemented by a
marble tile backsplash. According to
Borelli, small things, like the placement
of outlets, can make a huge difference
in the look of a kitchen. “You won’t
see the outlets in this kitchen and
that’s because we chose to hide them
under the cabinets. That allowed us to
preserve the clean lines of the beautiful
backsplash.” The kitchen also features
a walk-in pantry, two dishwashers, a
microwave drawer, and a gas range. All
appliances are top of the line courtesy
