JERRY SMITH CONTRACTING
Enjoying a beautiful waterfront setting, this reimagined home embraces a light, coastal sensibility with layered textures and serene tones. The main level was completely transformed, replacing heavy traditional details with an airy palette of blues, creams, and soft brushed gold. A refaced fireplace clad in glossy white patterned tile reflects the movement of the water beyond, while comfortable seating zones invite relaxed gatherings and easy entertaining.
A curved staircase anchors the open layout, leading to a cozy reading nook where cream chenille upholstery, cognac leather, and a hide rug mix warmth and refinement. At the front of the home, a once-overlooked sitting room is now an intimate dining space enveloped in deep teal walls and accented by bold abstract art. The result is a home that feels tranquil and tailored — where coastal living meets quiet sophistication.
