A young woman hired me to revamp her dated lakefront condo before moving in. Starting with the garish purple fireplace, we transformed her living room, stair rail, and dining room with a coastal vibe, using blues and sandy hues to create a fresh, airy retreat. Delighted with the results, she later hired me to design her second, larger lakefront home, where we continued the coastal aesthetic, crafting an even more spectacular haven that perfectly complemented its prime waterfront location.
