This was an interesting project because the home was mostly constructed with traditional details in mind but the young couple that I was working with also enjoyed some contemporary looks. 

It was fun to work in both styles in the same house, often times clients think you have to commit to living with just one style but it’s really about how you artfully mix it to work together.   The formal dining room was primarily traditional but had some sleek touches, the living room was fresh and classic in all black and white, the family room was casual and cozy.  The outdoor areas were so expansive and vast I needed to come up with several different seating areas for entertaining.  While the home was very large, I wanted to make sure I created lots of intimate little areas that could work as a spot to sit and take in the water views and add visual interest in spaces that might otherwise be overlooked.  I always give clients the go ahead to mix and match styles so we can craft a design that is uniquely theirs and announces their own personal style!
