A story of family, friendships and hospitality. Even though the home is comfortable and welcoming- it has a level of sophistication and refined elegance that is quite extraordinary. We took great care to give the home a cohesive look while still allowing each room to have it’s own personality. It has some of the best fabrics and details woven throughout each room. My client was involved in all details and decisions and it was truly a team effort and it shows. Overall I would say this home is special for it’s great mix of metals, textures, custom artwork and custom furniture. Other artwork includes many pieces from Trowbridge Gallery. Additionally, she had a jeweler’s eye for fabulous artwork – much of which is by Houston artist Austin Allen James and from the curated collection from Michael Beaver we found in the Modern History showroom in High Point NC. We both love John Richard accessories and scattered them throughout the home. She also loved brass and a touch of glam which can be found in the amazing tile from Q tile and Thibaut wallpapers. She was not afraid to mix colors and pattern! This is what makes this home so special and unique. We carried that navy theme throughout the home mixing in other blues and soft colors and bold textures. She loved blues (all tones of blue) but shared my affinity for navy blue. We became fast friends and I felt a deep connection from our first meeting. She had a definite style of her own… sophisticated and sleek and she loved color and texture. When I first met with the client I wanted to understand how she intended to live in the home and what qualities were important to her. “I was fortunate enough to work with an amazing team on this home including Geoff Chick – architect and Chris Clark – builder. Trust me, this is a name you won’t forget soon! Her work is impeccable and here she shares more details on the process of designing this Florida Beach House: I have been a fan of his impeccable work since I started the blog more than a decade ago and today I have the pleasure to share for the first time interiors by Melissa Skowlund of Melissa Skowlund Interiors. To say that it’s an honor to share a project done by Geoff Chick & Associates is an understatement. Be prepared to experience one of the most beautiful homes in Seagrove Beach, Florida! Hello, my wonderful friends! I can’t find words to express how excited I am for sharing this dream beach house with you.
