On the north end of one of Florida’s most charming barrier islands you’ll find a charming cottage right on the beach. The project began with a vision for a renovation of the original home and casita. Amy reimagined the entire property with the intent to maintain the structure’s original cottage charm, while giving a fresh look and a memorable island feel for the families that would one day vacation there. The challenge was to bring a fresh feel to a dated structure with small living spaces. The owner’s hope was to transform the property, which boasted one of the best views and beach locations on the island into a high end vacation rental. Amy reimagined the property as a coastal cottage with soulful textiles, fresh finishes, and thoughtful details. Crisp whites, bespoke details, and thoughtful tropical decor opened up small spaces and enlivened the entire property. The result is a charming, lighthearted island getaway.

One of the great delights of living in Florida and the Bahamas is the capacity for even the smallest outdoor space to function as comfortable living areas. One of Amy’s specialties is utilizing outdoor spaces to create a sense of enlarged living areas. Outdoor “rooms” offer island vacationers a place to do what matters most on an island . . . gather, share a bottle of wine and good fishing story, and plan for the next day’s adventures. Amy treats outdoor spaces as a tremendous opportunity to enhance any property, large or small.

Set the mood for memorable group dinners with well designed dining spaces. Amy places special emphasis on the experience around the shared table with glowy, ambient lighting schemes, island table decor, and even details like glassware and napkins for gorgeous photographs.

One of the many delights of a vacation is the much needed opportunity to catch up on sleep. Fashioning a comfortable, inviting bed for a delicious night’s rest is one of Amy’s highest priorities when designing a vacation home. She’s mastered the art of the beautifully made bed . . . a balance of soft, natural linens, a comfortable mattress (we even offer a wonderful line of healthy, supportive organic mattresses!) and pretty pillows and textiles. Whether you’re offering your home as a vacation rental or inviting loved ones to come visit for the week, an inviting bed and good night’s rest will be one of the highlights of your home.

Florida island homes offer visitors a quiet escape for a glass of wine at sunset or coffee on the lanai. Florida’s beautiful weather allows us to design balconies and patios as outdoor living spaces with furniture, decor, TV’s, and art . . . essentially an additional room of the home.

Amy’s signature combinations of built-in features, textiles, wallpapers, and decor add character to indoor and outdoor spaces. The goal for staging your island home as a rental, or as a home for sale is to develop unique spaces that photograph beautifully. As Amy styles your spaces, she’ll integrate the premier views, colors, and living spaces to maximize visual appeal online and in person.
