very traditional so they added a monolithic
stone fireplace and eliminated some shelv-
ing to give a more modern look.
“The open shelving detail in the study
seemed busy, so we modified this to incor-
porate sliding doors with a Kinon inset.
The Kinon doors added some warmth
and texture to the space and allowed for
some of the display to be hidden. And in
the dining room, we added interest to the
walls with a contemporary applied mold-
ing detail, all painted a fresh white,”
Melissa says.
In the kitchen, the existing neutral-
colored backsplash was transformed with
a trapezoid glass mosaic that added color
to the space. A media room was created
on the second floor by adding cabinetry
and a large television. The master walk-in
closets got an upgrade with a custom lay-
out incorporating painted cabinetry with
glass insets and stained wood drawers
and shelves.
“We also designed two fun bedrooms
for our client’s grandchildren, giving
them a space of their own when visiting
from Key West. I loved this house! I loved
the way the sitting room and dining room
came out, along with the great room. The
kids’ spaces were really fun to create as
well,” Melissa adds.
