Open Interiors
(TOP) The home is bright and welcoming thanks to the updated great room designed by Gulfshore Homes. The original
room had a distinctly dated vibe with coffered ceilings, dark tile, and walls that closed in the main living areas. Now, this
area has been transformed into a modern, open space perfect for both entertaining and family time. Toffee-toned wide
plank oak floors provide the foundation for the room, while a large sectional with deep and comfortable seats facilitates
relaxing conversation. Above, decorative trusses were built on-site to ensure a perfect fit. “Originally we had a much more
detailed ceiling planned but as we got into the renovation we decided to scale it back to create a clean look that makes a
big impact,” says Soule. The soft blues, seafoam green, and grey found here, and throughout the home, are inspired by its
waterfront location.
Dinner and a View
(BOTTOM) One space that takes full advantage of the view is the dining room with expansive sliding doors that open to
create the perfect dinner party setting. The dark and modern table is accented by ivory upholstered chairs. Elegant drapes
in a steel-toned fabric frame the windows and are a wonderful companion to the blue and ivory area rug. The ceiling is a
contemporary study in color and texture as dark crown molding, backlit with LED lights, and tongue-and-groove accents
provide a beautiful depth to the room.
