This project called for transforming a modern home by the beach with a downstairs rental into a coastal, lodge style retreat.  Both comfort and style were key focuses in the new design, which can be seen through the seamless blend of linen and a cool colour palette of white, grey and blue; accentuated by the warm tones of rattan and wood furniture. This rejuvenated home now complements the picturesque ocean scenery and exudes the beachside lifestyle.

REVIEW “As soon as I started working with Sandy I knew she was someone I could trust completely. She understood exactly what would appeal to me and came up with a design for my new beach house that I absolutely love. Sandy has great attention to detail which ensures the look is consistent and everything works together. She goes the extra mile, even helping to unpack and assemble furniture and choose and hang pieces of art to bring the whole look together. I have no hesitation in giving Sandy the highest recommendation.”
