Tucked away on a bluff in the woods, our clientโs family of six wanted to build their dream home that would last a lifetime. The stunning coastal homes of Southern Florida served as the inspiration for this mid-west residence.

The Entryway
This entryway makes a gorgeous first impression for guests. That is why we wanted to make it as comfortable and welcoming as possible. The Aspen Bench and accent pillows create a cozy atmosphere, while the vibrant greenery sets the tone for this coastal-inspired home. The Loren Brick & Multi Rug adds color and ties the whole space together.
The Kitchen
This stunning kitchen is perfect for entertaining. It offers an open view to both the dining and living room. The white cabinets, painted with Benjamin Mooreโs Chantilly Lace, extend all the way to the ceiling, giving the illusion that the ceilings are higher than they really are. The leaded glass cabinet doors that top off the cabinetry bring beautiful detailing and draw they eye up.
The wood-stained island and white oak hardwood floors blend beautifully and compliment the sparkling quartz countertops. This kitchen is beautiful, but itโs also exceptionally functional with hidden outlets in the island. The space is illuminated by the Sweeny 5 Light Chandeliers.
The Dining Room
Natural light fills up the dining room thanks to the stunning windows and doors on all three walls. At night, this gorgeous chandelier shines bright and keeps lively dinner parties going. The Vista Dining Chairs in Savile Flax help to create the minimalist yet bright feel that the clients were looking for. The table is decorated with Glass Vintage Bottles.
The Living Room
We continued the coastal ambience with the color palette in the living room. White Dove by Benjamin Moore covers the walls, while Chantilly Lace by Benjamin Moore is featured on the trim. The Compass Wall Sconces showcase the built-ins on either side of the cast stone mantel.
You canโt go wrong with a cast stone fireplace. Our secret to keeping the cost down? Using foam instead of stone! We are obsessed with the televisions custom niche over the fireplace, eliminating the need for a media console. The niches on either side of the fireplace are playfully decorated with accessories from our brand new Scout & Nimble accessory collection.
The Hallway & Laundry Room
We wanted to incorporate some warmer, textured tones to the space which is why we selected a Herringbone pattern for the back hallway. Our client wanted a brick texture, but we ultimately went with a porcelain material for comfort. We layered a jute runner for even more natural texture and itโs the perfect runway for the familyโs dogs.
The stairs feature a beautiful custom iron railingโฆso gorgeous!
Agnus & Frannie are particularly fond of the herringbone tile in this hallway.
The laundry room is both beautiful and functional. We kept the coastal vibes going with the 50/50 by Ryan Garvin artwork and the aptly named Skye Brick & Ocean Rug. We even included a custom kennel design in the laundry room underneath the sink.
The Primary Bathroom
The master bathroom is one of our favorite rooms in the house! The custom shower niche is refined and sleek. The tall mirrors open up the room, making it feel more spacious than it already is. The custom wood stained vanity continues to create a light and airy feel within the home. The bathroom features marble floor tiles in the shower, Cle Tile behind the tub, and magnificent Quartz countertops. Whatโs not to love?
One of our favorite features is the luxurious free-standing tub. The Frisco End Tables are the perfect place to set a book, candle, or glass of wine.
The Powder Bath
The powder bath was done in a chinoiserie wallpaper that reflects the colors throughout the home. The custom vanity is painted in Narragansett Green by Benjamin Moore and is lit by Ashby Swing-Arm Sconce.
The Crowโs Nest
You might be wondering, why is this project named the Crowโs Nest, anyways? One of our clientโs top requests was a covered outdoor space to gather with family. We thought, โwhy not put it right on top?โ The Crowโs Nest features Kumaru decking and a gorgeous view.
This project gave us so many opportunities to play with style and custom features and we couldnโt be more excited to share it with you! There are so many amazing style moments but we want to know your favorite. Let us know in the comments below!

The kitchen is divided into three working zones, with the dining table right in the middle and the scullery at the end intentionally left open. Nothing is closed off from the rest of the space. Hereโs the thinking behind each of those decisions.
