SUNSET DRIVE

One of my favorite things is the opportunity to work with clients to create warm, inviting seaside homes. Favorite familial places for them to retreat, gather and live well every day from "scratch." This family compound is located in the coastal community of Quonnie. Quonnie comprises three small waterfront beach communities in Charlestown, RI: West Beach, Central Beach, and East Beach boasting seaside homes. Our Quonnie project personifies the vibrancy and personalities of its way-cool homeowners. New seating throughout allows for cozying up with cashmere throws and washable linen fabrics. Bookshelves, tabletops, and once-empty walls now offer a one-of-a-kind playfulness and a glimpse into the personalities of its owners. This "whole home makeover" was completed in record time to kick-start the owner's summer season.
