Seaside Showhouse Success

We were excited to asked to take part in the Designer Showhouse for the Arts in Seaside, Florida, open now through July 4th. This showhouse is sponsored by the Cultural Arts Association and is in the home of Robert Davis, Seaside Town Founder.

CAA asked us to design a room inspired by a mid-century cultural icon. After just minutes of deliberation, we selected the Duke and Duchess of Windsor - immensely popular, stylish and relevant to Florida during the 1940's and beyond.

Some quick research uncovered an iconic photo of the Duke and Duchess visiting Florida in 1941. The combination of the peacock blue and coral together is very fresh and current. They shaped the Palm Beach look with their bold choices of color, and their clean line of dress is still relevant today.

This photo became inspiration for the design of the guest bedroom in the Seaside, Florida home.

We had only one day to install the entire room. What do you think? Leave a comment to let us know.

The CAA Designer Showhouse for the Arts is open through July 4, Wednesdays - Sundays, from noon to 5:00 pm.
