Inspiration in the Studio

Almost two full years ago, we met an amazing couple who were planning to build their dream home on Bald Head Island, North Carolina. We loved their vision of a place to relax and refresh away from their busy professional lives. We quickly got to work planning, designing and preparing for every detail. It’s not 100% complete (still working on a few finishing touches with art and lighting), but we are so thankful they have enjoyed their summer in this beautiful space.

Enjoy a quick home tour! The plan is a reversed, so the living spaces are upstairs to maximize the beautiful maritime forest views.  We love this quiet dining space at the top of the stairs.

The living area is open and oh so comfortable and beautiful!

The kitchen is a dream!  There’s no doubt that many fabulous meals will be shared in this home.

There are several porches and outdoor living spaces, but this is our favorite.  Even the family dog found her happy spot!

The master bedroom is the perfect escape (wish you could see the bathroom too).  We especially enjoyed working with the superintendent to design the custom bed.

And, our favorite spot of all….the cozy reading nook under the staircase!  Gotta love a good port hole window perfect placed.

We’re always thankful to work with great architects and builders.  It’s the design team, along with great clients, that can make all the difference.

Architect:  Cothran Harris Architecture

Builder:  Dudley Builders

Just in time for summer, we are thrilled to find one of our latest coastal projects on the cover of  Triangle Home Design and Decor Magazine and a full feature in the Charlotte edition. What an incredible home with an incredible history on Bald Head Island, North Carolina. Remodels can often be more challenging than new construction and this project was no exception. We wanted to honor the home’s history and architecture. Relax and take a moment to read the full article here.

It’s no surprise that some of our favorite projects are vacation homes and we are thankful to be surrounded by some of the country’s most beautiful beaches, lakes, and mountains. I really think it’s the relaxed vibe and family memories that drive us to create these special places. And this one is truly special.

This dutch door welcomes guests to the impressive foyer complete with a custom designed chandelier.

Imagine the meals and conversations that will happen in this kitchen. We kept much of the original kitchen, but carefully modified the design for a fresh look that functions better for our clients.

Walk down the hall to the new addition and notice that there is hardly any drywall in this home. It’s filled with truly amazing craftsmanship by the Dudley Builders team.

Architect Cothran Harris did an amazing job keeping the integrity of the original architecture in the newly added guest suite.

We managed to mix the old with the new in the renovated master suite. Check out the incredible view of the Atlantic ocean!

A bubble bath in this tub would be the perfect end to a day in the sun and sand. Take me away…

We’ll share more photos of this beautiful home soon! Thanks to these special clients for opening their home to us. Now, let the summer fun begin!
