ABOVE: Details make a home special. Designed around the way the family
wants to live in the house, the living room is light and airy with intricate
details overhead. Lofty windows allow light to flood the space with a soft,
ethereal feel. Leaded glass and columns frame the transition between
the living room and kitchen. Dark cabinets ground the kitchen, while
glass-front upper cabinets and a large window keep the energy flowing.

FACING PAGE TOP: The shingle-style Kiawah Island home boasts a variety of
windows to capture the views of nature. A copper roof that weathers well
as it ages adds a touch of elegance. A simple but chic staircase carries
visitors to the front door, where many stop to take in the views.

FACING PAGE BOTTOM LEFT & BOTTOM RIGHT: Once inside the home, another
elegant staircase allows for the free movement of energy and light as
one travels between floors. Intricate white-on-white millwork throughout
the home elevates each room, giving it a classic look while keeping
everything crisp and clean.
