This lovely Country French home in the beautiful beachside enclave of Emerald Bay needed a complete refresh. The original interior was overly decorative, with gold-gilded wall paneling, bold colored bedrooms, heavy satin drapery, and ornate crystal chandeliers. Our vision for this client was a light-filled, relaxed home with simplified finishes and casual furnishings.  We refinished the walls in a creamy white plaster and repainted the cabinets in soft French hues.  Our goal was to blend the formal European details with rustic comforts and create a look that feels fresher and more youthful.
