We renovated this beautiful in-city West Seattle waterfront home to make it ready for fun entertaining. As a result, it is a perfect party venue as well as relaxing. On the sandy beach of the Puget Sound, this whimsical home was in need of a gentle update. First, we focused on the Fireplace Wall. The original lovely cabinetry had been built to incorporate a Television which was no longer large enough. A Media Room adjacent to the Great Room had been upgraded into theater style viewing. We re-designed the fireplace with bookcases with LED lighting. Adding the sensational stacked stone wall, and new quartzite hearth transformed this room into an inviting sophisticated, but personalized space.
Second, we updated the kitchen. Refreshing the color palette, we painted the kitchen cabinets. A minor cabinet update incorporates a microwave drawer. Reinventing the original desk area, we created a wine-focused dry bar. We redesigned the island to allow more seating. The new tile backsplash makes the prettiest statement. We replaced sinks, faucets and counter tops and incorporated a microwave drawer. As a result, we created a cohesive and efficient prep area.
Using many existing pieces, we created a new furniture layout. Most importantly, tweaking the lighting and accessories completes the cozy ambience.
So much love for sentimental beach-related collections are incorporated into the entire space. These whimsical details can be viewed in the blog with more photos of this gorgeous and happy home.
