Coronado Remodel before and after

Hi Everyone

 Happy Wednesday

♥

I am so thrilled to 

share with you 

 before and after pictures 

 of the Cornado beach house remodel 

This was 

such a fun project and a priveledge to work on

As you can see the living room before was dated 

the stone fireplace did not have a mantel

there was only one opening through the dining room into the kitchen

there was peach carpet through out the house

the stairway leading to the upstairs bedroom was a closed in tunnel

the ceiling was very low 

Here is the living room after picture

so much has changed

removing the wall on the left  and providing

 access to the kitchen opened up the entire house

Removing the old stone on the fireplace and creating 

a mantel as well as interest with  brick and mill work molding 

created a wonderful focal point for the room

opening up the stairway also helped to add interest

 and light to the room as well as eliminating the closed in tunnel effect

raising the ceilings allowed for a more 

expansive feeling to the room

The carpet was removed throughout the entire house

and tile was installed 

The  Ragno tile looks so much like wood 

it fools everyone 

 tile is such a marvelous product to use near the beach or a pool

The front entry now has a welcoming white dutch door and
my favorite nautical navy blue and white anchor door mat which
sets the tone for the rest of the house

I can't wait to share more pictures with you of the kitchen, bedrooms and front porch

Hi Everyone

 Happy Friday

♥

We are on the beautiful

 Island of Kauai

 on the North shore in Princeville

 grateful to be
 involved in the remodel of a
 home here
Exterior and Interior changes are extensive but
 there is one thing that will not change and that is this amazing view
I took the picture above from the living room /great
 room that includes a large kitchen
and dining room
the existing home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms
  The remodel will include adding another
 bedroom and bath as well as changes to the kitchen
I will be traveling to the Island once a month for the next few months
 working closely with the architect  to assist in the initial design changes
 and the interior design
I will have my camera
it will be fun to show you all
the changes to the house

Kauai is gorgeous just look at how
clean, clear and beautiful the ocean is
the best part is how warm the water is
 today it was 75 degrees
The Island is a feast for the eyes  there is so much natural beauty
The picture below is of Hanalei bay pier

is the inspiration for the interior design
as you can see the colors are bright and cheerful
 perfect for a happy Island beach home

{Love}
The use of colors here are reflective of the colors
 of nature outside the home
   bringing those same colors into the house tans, greens and yellows, white

adds warmth to the rooms and also adds to the indoor outdoor lifestyle

If you were designing a beach home
 what colors would you choose
