Windows facing the water line the back of the home. The eyebrow window at the top of the great room adds extra natural light. "That made such a huge difference to the exterior and interior," says Elms.

Elms relied on the Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams showroom for plush upholstery and chose Sunbrella fabrics to keep the furniture comfortable and easy to maintain. Accent fabrics and wallpapers came mostly from China Seas. "The scale and colors just went perfectly with the house," says Elms.

Grass cloth wallcovering and wide moldings in the entryway set the tone for a warm, coastal-inspired house. The home had been owned by three other families, each of whom made additions in their own personal style. "The additions really didn't speak to each other," says Elms. "Our job was to take what we had and establish a cohesiveness that was missing."

One of the clients loves red and can't get enough of it. "Whenever we had a meeting, she'd even be wearing red," says Elms. "We decided to use the color in special spots around the house." The kitchen was a great space to start. Overscale gingham-style fabric covers upholstered benches in an attached casual dining area.

The front of the house doesn't let in as much light as the back and can feel very exposed to the street. Elms had plantation shutters installed on all of the front windows for privacy and left the back windows uncovered.

The kitchen layout was designed with plenty of counter space for food prep, serving and eating. Calacatta marble counters sit at a low height for convenient cooking and baking. The high bar counter is made of Caesarstone. Custom cabinetry and neutral backsplash tile work well with the bright walls.

An indoor/outdoor cabana room toward the back of the house has a huge slider that opens up to the backyard. Elms draped the walls with white fabric for a tropical feel.

A deep red bedroom reflects the client's love of the color. A classic white bedspread with subtle hints of blue in a decorative pillow keeps the palette from going overboard.

"When we didn't use red, we used derivatives of it like pink, which she also loved," says Elms. Pink China Seas wallpaper in the master bathroom gives the space a light, feminine feel.

A wine storage and tasting room filled with custom walnut wine racks is nestled into the bottom floor. A Caesarstone bar and plush barstool provides the perfect spot to enjoy a glass from a favorite bottle.

olldbobbi That is one big space to be used only for weekends and vacation. Do the owners plan to retire there? That would be awesome.
