2012 Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House – Bunk Rooms

The house had two bunk rooms, one on each level.  The upstairs Bunk Room was initially a walk-in-closet, but it was so large we felt it was better suited for a bunk room.  Due to the ceiling slope we opted for a daybed design and I think it worked out well.  We even had enough room to spare a walk-in-closet at the back of the room.

The design starting point for the room was the “Serendipity” Sister Parish wallpaper, we then painted the paneling and bed platforms to match the green in the paper, in Pratt & Lambert “Barberry”.

The linens with the custom scallop trim and the coverlets are both by Traditions.  The bolsters are trimmed in Schumacher’s Colette Coupe trim. The gold striped accent pillows are in Windsor Smith’s “Sparkle” stripe for Kravet. The Sunbrella throws added the perfect punch of coral for the foot of each bed.

The first floor bunk room is off the back hall.  We decided to paint the entire room in a dark charcoal gray (Pratt & Lambert’s “Dependable”) to add contrast against the otherwise mostly white common areas.  The straw baskets hold Sunbrella throws and Tilly Towels (unfortunately not pictured, added those after I took these pictures).

Each bunk has it’s own curtain, black-out lined, so parents have a better chance of kids sleeping in.

The accent bolsters on the beds are in Studio Bon’s “Fuzz”.  Linens are from Traditions.

Each bunk also has an ipad docking station… which should keep children (or adults) entertained for hours.  All of the audio video work in the house was done by our friends at Innovative Sight & Sound.

2012 Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House – Foyer, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, and Study

Foyer 

The oval shaped entry has a tall cove ceiling, all covered in Venetian Plaster.  This fixture by Circa Lighting just felt right for the way the foyer is positioned in the house, the floor to ceiling window on the backside of the foyer gives guests a view into the courtyard and pool area.  We chose a skirted hexagon shaped table to soften the space.  The fabric on the skirt is one of my favorites, a Nomi linen with a gold oblong dot, with two linen accent bands of Samuel & Sons flat tape trim at the bottom, which matched the front door color.  This is a great view of the Peacock Paver floors, which are in their Champagne color.

Kitchen Living Dining

As you come off the foyer to the right you step into the common area that is the kitchen, living, and dining area.

The garden stools are the Duquette by Madegoods.  All upholstery again, by Lee Industries.  Lighting by Circa.  The painting over the fireplace is by Courtney Garrett.

dining room IMG_7838

The dining room table was made specifically for the space by Old Wood Company.  The wall behind the settee is upholstered in Sunbrella fabric and the plates are an NYC find.

study IMG_8128

Oops, should have straightened that poor pillow on the far right.  Gotta keep it real.  The study walls are clad in pecky  cypress in a very custom stain.  Poor Allison stood in line at the paint store for hours mixing and mixing until it was just right.  I think she nailed it.  The painting above the sectional (by Lee Industries) is by Clare Elsaesser, commissioned her to do one of her small paintings very large for this back wall.  I love this room, but Coastal Living did not run it in the story.  It is in the online gallery, but I was bummed it didn’t make the cut.  I guess it’s a bit too dark for their normal readership’s liking.  I think it’s a cozy little retreat and was definitely one of my favorite rooms in the house.  After I took this picture we went back and added reading sconces over each end of the sectional.  The ottoman is one that Allison and I found on our trip to Miami.

The pillows are combination of Jane Shelton and Peter Fasano, two of my most favorite fabric lines.

If you are interested in any furnishings, fabrics, rugs, art (etc) you see in this post, or the posts to come in the next few days feel free to contact us via our website or you can email Allison at allison(at)urbangrace(dot)com .

I’m not sure if these are “pinnable” from this page, but if anyone wants to pin them on Pinterest I’ll be adding them to a “Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House” board as I update these posts.
