Starting with a simple blueprint, we watched this house grow every day into something really special for our client Jim Steckel. We looked at each white space on the plan and created tile designs for the bathrooms, the kitchen layout and cabinet designs, added arched doorways, cypress accents and vaulted ceilings. We also created a new finish for the tongue and groove pine walls that gave them a velvety gray appearance so the natural texture of the wood grain shows through. And for the flooring, we custom finished oak wood planks by first wire brushing, then white washing, sanding and finally finishing with a stain- very beachy and reminiscent of driftwood. Top it all off with a few mercury glass pendants, a driftwood orb in the stairwell and a beaded chandelier in the dining room and we had a pretty spectacular beach home. Not only was it a lot of fun but we couldn't be happier with the end result.
