Garden room with trellis walls and stenciled limestone floors. Soft and elegant with sunlight streaming through room.

This home in the exclusive Mt. Vere Estates is among the most beautiful in Greenville. The extraordinary grounds and gardens complement the equally exceptional interiors of the home. Stunning yet comfortable, every aspect of the home invites and impresses. Classic, understated elegance at its best.

All our projects are unique and we treat each one individually. Sometimes, there are projects that when completed look so simple and light but demand a great deal of planning, a high level of attention to each stage and a minute care for details. Beside being beautiful a wooden floor has to be also properly installed keeping in mind all the technical aspects. This project was one like those above and it was a delight for us especially at the end. After preparing the sub-floor measurements were taken to find the best alignment and symmetrical layout paying more attention to the focus areas like the fireplace, doors, walls etc. We snapped a few old school chalk lines and started to lay the engineered boards which where selected one by one to obtain a good match with the neighbouring ones. A notable challenge was to fit the engineered boards under the cast iron radiator which was sitting on the floor with all its mighty weight and connected to the central heating system. The best part was yet to come: a light sanding of the floor as it was unsealed and achieving a deep transparent white finish. There are some serious risk posed by this requirement and the most important of them is ending up with an inconsistent colour all over the surface. Beside sanding there were some few intermediate preparatory stages before applying the first coat of oil. Then a serious session of oil buffing and our Lagler Single machine proved how strong and powerful can be. For the last coat of oil the knowledge showed its value as the risks of ruining all the good work were kept far and the wonderful floor turned into a beautiful one.

This ocean-front shingled Gambrel style house is home to a young family with little kids who lead an active, outdoor lifestyle. My goal was to create a bespoke, colorful and eclectic interior that looked sophisticated and fresh, but that was tough enough to withstand salt, sand and wet kids galore. The palette of coral and blue is an obvious choice, but we tried to translate it into a less expected, slightly updated way, hence the front door! Liberal use of indoor-outdoor fabrics created a seamless appearance while preserving the utility needed for this full time seaside residence. photo: Michael J Lee Photography

A custom bookcase for cookbook collection was built from recycled wood. Maker was found at a local home show in Portland. All furniture pieces were made or found and selected/designed maximizing height to accentuate tall ceilings. The vestibule in the background shows tiny space added by new nib walls as entry way to existing bathroom. Designer hand-painted stripes on the wall when an appropriate wallpaper could not be located. Photo by Lincoln Barbour
