ARTISTIC ENDEAVOR THIS REMODEL RESULTS IN A SHARED VISION OF WARMTH AND SOPHISTICATION
Wanting a comfortable, relaxing space off of the breakfast nook and kitchen, Jessica Holiday, owner and interior designer of HSH Designs, places two motorized recliners from American Leather Gallery in a soft, creamy bone leather. Lee Industry chairs in a neutral tone basket-weave fabric surround the glass-top breakfast table with a sculptural bronze base by Arteriors from HSH Designs, which Holiday selects because “we didn’t want anything heavy that stops the eye — we wanted your eye to look forward, out toward the view.”

An appreciation for artistic endeavor, attention to fine details, and a warm glow describe this elegant and intricate design. Jessica Holiday, owner and interior designer of HSH Designs, delights in helping these homeowners transition from the home they raised a family in to this downtown Sarasota condo. “It feels like a continuation instead of a departure. When I look at this home, I already see and feel that it is filled with love and a timeless design,” shares Holiday, who, alongside architect G. Todd Yeomans of Yeomans Work Architecture, orchestrates a sophisticated and artful haven for these homeowners. u
Family Room: The media wall takes on a sculptural presence, clad in a rich, black-washed walnut from Yeomans Work Cabinetry. Yeomans adds tapered shelving that leads the eye to the bay view. Serpentine tech lighting from Light Up Your Life adds a cool, contemporary element to the ceiling plane and highlights the artwork from International Design Source. Holiday personally selects and artfully lays out each piece of cream and smokey-gray brushed stone marble to surround the rectilinear fireplace. Inside Foyer: The team creates continuity between the foyer and the family room by using the same fluid form rugs from Surya, customizing them to fit each space. Yeomans designs this niche to highlight each crest and fold on this custom art installation. Artisan Will Corr fabricates the leaves by hand so it can be sculpted into any form while faux painter Michelle Held adds metallic touches to the leaves so they shimmer when they catch the light.

Holiday and Yeomans create continuity in the design throughout this merged, dual-unit condo that at first felt disjointed and lacked harmony. “Early on, we developed a shared vision for the palette of colors and textures that we kept in mind throughout the selection process to bring this condo together,” Yeomans shares. Unique to this tropical setting, these homeowners gravitate toward deeper more saturated hues. So, to keep this space light and airy while incorporating a cozier color scheme, Holiday develops a warm-neutral contemporary palette — brimming with caramel golds, soft bone, and rich walnut — while the furnishings play a more deliberate role. Artistic accents tether this fine-design concept. Wanting a light, textural sculpture in the foyer, Holiday garners inspiration from her travels, and together Holiday and Yeomans design paper leaves — each one of these custom pieces is set by hand to catch the light and create dramatic shadowing. u
Bar: These pendants by Visual Comfort are from HSH Designs and feature a brass fixture and subtle hammered glass that beautifully diffuse the soft glowing light, casting it downward to the existing bar top — with counter stools in a metallic leather from International Design Source. Holiday selects Benjamin Moore’s Simply White for this space, brightening the trim with Pure White. Kitchen: With a new coat of paint on these existing cabinets, the color — Gunsmith Gray by Benjamin Moore — breathes new life into this buffet space. Holiday opts to paint the cabinet’s back walls beyond the glass fronts for added drama. And with new hardware, the transformation is complete. This backsplash from the Tile Market of Sarasota is a gold-brushed porcelain tile that gives a nod to the surrounding walls and ceiling while also providing charming contrast. Dining Room: This chandelier from Lyteworks hangs above an exotic dining table the homeowners found in Venice. It boasts a metallic base and a built-in lazy Susan. Holiday handpicks these dining chairs in a silken tan leather, and they rest on a textured rug by Loloi from HSH Designs. Using five different paints, a local artist creates a warm and sunny wall finish that balances out this space with an artful touch.

During the project, Yeomans — also the owner of Yeomans Work Cabinetry — shifts his role from architect to cabinet designer. With a special request for the living room and bar to feel like an upscale hotel lobby, Yeomans designs the media and fireplace wall in a succulent, black-washed walnut paneling that imbues the impression of the swankiest boutique hotel. The lush panels wrap the room. Holiday reminisces, “I just kept saying to Todd, ‘Keep paneling! Keep adding to it!’ And what we created here was a rich enveloping nook that evolved and created the balance we needed against the lighter tones in the space, and the Sarasota Bay.” To echo the fluid pattern and soothing hues of the foyer artwork, Holiday and Yeomans create an artistic, backlit onyx wall feature. u
Master Bedroom: This side of the building looks over downtown. “Here we have deeper tones like that on the base of a palm tree as opposed to the cooler blues on the bay side — I did this to find a balance,” shares Holiday. Contrasting organic glass vessels in blue hues hang over the Caracole bed’s headboard that is donned in a deep taupe-toned leather, while dark wooden nightstands are adorned with ivory lamps and soft linen shades from International Design Source, adding a delicate touch. Master Bathroom: “With the lightest touch of your finger, you can pull and slide the three telescoping glass panels that move in concert with each other, so when you’re on the other side they are perfectly positioned,” says Yeomans. Holiday brings varying tile styles together from the Tile Market in Sarasota and creates simple beauty with complexity. A natural quartzite lines the threshold and repeats in the niche behind the freestanding tub from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery. homeanddesign.net

Guest Bedroom: The custom bed from HSH Designs, in a charcoal gray velvet, speaks to the hand-troweled texture on the walls. This unique finish has several layers and nearly 300 pieces of silver leaf against a rich creamy base. Holiday chooses a silk Donghia drapery and a dark wood rod to pair with the existing nightstands. Gracefully shaped brushed nickel table lamps from International Design Source rest on a crystal base, of which Holiday states, “We wanted something here that lightened the nightstands and balanced the faux textured wall.” Guest Bathroom: Holiday selects a simple door profile from Yeomans Work Cabinetry — a division of Yeomans Work Architecture — finished in a warm gray, and she brightens it with polished chrome hardware. This striking marble countertop flows from the counter, down the knee wall, and across the shower threshold for strong architectural impact. Adding an abundance of texture and dimension to this space, Holiday carries the opaque glass tile from the Tile Market of Sarasota that has browns, creams, and even soothing blues all the way across the guest bathroom.

Sparing the budget by keeping the flooring in the main living space and the existing kitchen cabinets, the master bathroom becomes a spectacle with a complete redesign. “This master bathroom is a labor of love from every single trade, and of Todd, and myself,” delights Holiday. “This was a very intricate part of the job.” This magnificent master shower and tub combination has an adjoining steam room. Together, Holiday and Yeomans merge talents and convictions to realize a truly original, soft contemporary design for this remarkable remodel that radiates a soothing warm glow. n

Family Room: “This amazing piece of onyx on the wall is backlit, and it creates a warm glow in the evening,” shares Holiday. This exciting display connects the colorway and adds interest and movement. HSH Designs provides the white base coffee table to contrast the warm palette, and adds continuity with the same onyx for the top. Holiday also designs simple pleat cream-tone sheers to frame the view, not obscure it. Powder Room: “We didn’t want anything heavy here, so Todd designed these floating cabinets. Since they are lit from underneath, they add an open and bright feeling to the space,” Holiday shares about these cabinets from Yeomans Work Cabinetry. This lighting feature highlights the metallic brushed tile flooring from the Tile Market of Sarasota set in a stunning herringbone pattern. Holiday adds chrome pulls that complement the faucet from Ferguson Bath, Kitchen & Lighting Gallery.
