A "Luxury Resort" in Sea Colony
When this house came on the market the Tillmans sold the smaller Sea Colony home we had worked on together and purchased this larger one with a pool that could more easily accommodate their guests, children and grandchildren. The Tillmans prefer a lighter, brighter, more contemporary look than the previous owners of this house but we believed we could transform it to be their style, incorporating its more traditional architectural details to fit their vision.
The Tillman's response when we finished - "It feels like a luxury resort." Success!
We replaced the traditional lanterns with contemporary sconces that mirror the arched door on the exterior. A dramatic pecan wood chandelier welcomes you inside.
The kitchen before.
Sherwin Williams Pure white and the refinished and whitewashed the red oak floors brightened up the home giving it a sunwashed, coastal feel.
The great room before.
The house offers ample opportunities to showcase the owners' vibrant art collection.
The children's guest room on the main floor has a playful marine theme.
Serena & Lily wallpaper and sconce make the powder room a delight.
We painted the kitchen cabinets white and replaced the countertops and backsplash with a lightly veined white quartz that compliments the natural stone island. Streamlined counter stools provide extra seating alongside the kitchen dining alcove. Black cone pendants give the island a contemporary feel.
The nook between the kitchen and dining room became the perfect coffee bar.

The Ellen DeGeneres canvas chandelier compliments the modern casual RH table and chairs.
The elevator got a much needed "lift" with Havana Banana wallpaper from Milton & King.
The stairs are transformed with contemporary stainless and wood handrails, a large wicker pendant, and a fresh sisal runner.

The primary bedroom ensuite. The fabulous shell chandelier adds a touch of glamour.
"Jody has now completed two whole house remodels for us at the beach. There is no way we could have done this without her. Jody is professional and also fun to work with. She makes it looks easy because she's so good at it! We call Jody all the time with questions or for just her expert opinion. She is always willing to come over and discuss a new project. Jody is the best of the best!"

The laundry room wallpaper brings a smile every time!
Adjacent to the outdoor kitchen, the wine cellar doubles as an indoor dining room.
For a resort look poolside, stripes dominate.
