Our project at Rosemary Beach, Florida, has wrapped up. We thought you would like to see some photos!
Built in 1999, this home was designed by Bobby McAlpine of McAlpine Tankersley Architecture. It was the first beach front home constructed in Rosemary. Our task was to update a dark and dated home into a bright, interesting and relaxed second home for clients in Atlanta. We started this top-to-bottom renovation in December, 2009, and finished in early June.
A significant challenge was the very low and claustrophobic kitchen ceiling. By removing sheet rock and rerouting plumbing to a third floor bathroom, and wrapping beams in reclaimed timber, we converted a liability into a very interesting asset.
The living area on the main floor is designed to be flexible and take on different arrangements as needed for different entertaining scenarios. Sectional sofas and tufted ottomans are meant to move around to accommodate large parties or intimate gatherings.
Shades of turquoise appear on every floor to provide continuity throughout the home. The turquoise was paired with different colors: neutrals on the main floor, chartreuse in the ground floor guest bedroom, and a bold and fun orange in the third floor teen loft.
The master bedroom is calming and sophisticated. The Waterworks tile in the master bath echoes the rich colors from the Gulf of Mexico, just outside the owner’s screened in porch. This tile became a jumping off point for the master suite’s color scheme of blues and browns. The custom headboard was designed by Bill.
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.

We're thrilled to take part in the Designer Showhouse for the Arts in Seaside, Florida, this summer. This showhouse is sponsored by the Cultural Arts Association and will be in the home of Daryl and Robert Davis, Seaside Town Founders.
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. The Duchess of Windsor was an American socialite, who married, as her third husband, Prince Edward, formerly King Edward VIII of the British Empire.
The Duke and Duchess of Windsor traveled to Florida to visit friends and enjoyed a good Polo match. What most people don’t know is that Wallis met first husband Navy pilot Earl Winfield Spencer while visiting her cousin in Pensacola.
In December 1936, King Edward VIII renounced the throne to "marry the woman I love.” His wife soon became one of the century's most famous women.
The duchess became known as an elegant hostess and one of the world’s best-dressed women. Beginning in the 1940’s, the couple spent the next few decades traveling extensively to attend social events around the world.
Although they were sometimes criticized for their lavish lifestyle, their romance is regarded as one of history’s greatest love stories. "You have no idea how hard it is to live out a great romance,” Wallis said.
Some quick research uncovered an iconic photo (above) 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 a jumping off point for our design. We can't reveal too much at this point, but here is an image of the Schumacher fabric we are using for the window treatments.
