160 INSPIRED INTERIORS
BELOW: One of two kitchens in this coastal home gave a nod to its beach location with a watery blue island and the sculpture that sits atop it, called Mermaid Under the
Sea. All of the intricate cabinets are custom-made, with a few glass f ronts to show off beautiful pieces and antique mirrors to highlight the ref rigerator.

FACING PAGE TOP: There are no drapes in this kitchen so as not to obstruct the view of the Intracoastal Waterway. I mixed a lot of blonde and brass finishes in this house,
such as the statement-making brass light fixtures. Luxe touches, like custom cabinets and high-end appliances, elevate the space.
FACING PAGE BOTTOM: Inspired by an Italian house that the homeowner loves, this kitchen recreates the feel with oil paintings and layered draperies. Rich wood cabinets
and an attached breakfast room create a gorgeous environment for this Southern gourmet cook.
