This custom live edge wood dining
table and a cypress driftwood end
table bring natural organic elements
to the clean linear design of the
dining and living rooms.
The serene master bedroom in neutral beige and sand tones is accented with calming blues that
bring the azure water and sky inside for a restful night’s sleep. Tempesta’s eye for finishing touches
is evident from the quad-art series and tasteful accessories on the étagère to the custom drapery
panels and throw pillows.

After meeting with the couple, who communicated
their ideas and desires, Tempesta proceeded to develop an
elegant coastal-inspired vision featuring a juxtaposition
of organic, natural elements and finishes with a clean
linear design. A soft toned monochromatic color palette
of taupe, grays and beiges runs throughout with the
occasional blue accent reflective of the location on the
Intracoastal Waterway. Tempesta creatively included
storage solutions and utilized a variety of patterns and
textures to add depth and interest to the design aesthetic.
Her use of warm organic elements, like live edge wood
and driftwood, along with sleek hard surfaces, such as
glass, metal and quartz, demonstrate her expertise in the
design field.
Tempesta and her assistant Katie O’Neil created a
luxurious well-appointed design, filled with custom
features to suit the couple’s taste and lifestyle perfectly.
The former Texans couldn’t be happier with their
decision to stay in their newly designed home. 9
