BEAUTY ON BISCAYNE BAY LANE WAT ER VI EWS AND MO DERN ELEGANCE IN NO RTH NAP LES
By Andrea G. Rollin Images by Rick Bethem Photography
T
here is an abundance of magnificent homes in North Naples, and this remodel in the prestigious Heritage Bay Golf & Country Club is certainly at the top of the list. This 2,374-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath sanctuary features serene lake views, a breathtaking outdoor pool and spa, an open-floor concept, and plenty of unique, modern architectural elements in every room. A well-equipped kitchen with custom cabinets and tile, exquisite his and hers bath, complementary brick pavers, dramatic lighting, and a special wine-tasting area, all serve to showcase the home’s ambiance. Diana Hall, President and Lead Designer of Diana Hall Design in Naples, collaborated with her associate and Senior Designer Elizabeth Manchego, when she was brought on board by Naples Kitchen & Bath, who designed the initial architectural background, including ceilings, coffers, and one-of-a-kind fireplace. “The detailing was done by Naples Kitchen & Bath—they wanted to make the home modern, streamlined, and spacious looking,” explains Hall. “Elizabeth and I tend to have this sensitive eye, so our objective was to ensure that everything was cohesive before the project was completed.” The designers also wanted to achieve a look of elegance and creativity that optimized every space in the residence. “The rooms were small so we wanted to make design
2 | YOU R HOM E M AGAZIN E®
decisions that optimized the space,” Hall says. She and her associate carried a monochromatic color scheme, with blues added, throughout the home, which gave it a more spacious look, as well. The client, who has owned the house for quite some time and remodeled it in the beginning of 2021, wanted specific architectural details in each room. One of the designer’s favorite elements from this project, for example, is the master bedroom headboard wall, for which her firm won a 2021 CBIA (Collier Building Industry Association) Sand Dollar Award for “Best Specialty Feature Under $25,000.”
A SPAC E F OR GATH ER I NG
Comfy, cozy seating in the great room focuses on conversational opportunities. The architectural focal point is the enticing stone wall by Ceramic Matrix, complete with mesmerizing ventless linear fireplace and large, entertaining TV. Glass shelves provide the perfect way to display lovely accessories, and cabinets underneath that were added for storage, present a floating, airy feel. Again, the designer introduces colors of gray, beige, blue, and white. The pair of chairs on the right are by Fairfield and the one on the left is manufactured by Rowe. “They are nicely accompanied by their tapered arms,” Hall explains. “The Rowe chair has an interesting chrome frame with a T-shaped chromed back.” The designers incorporated a modern touch with an organic glass-topped table. The base, by Bernhardt, is white resin formed to look like a tree trunk. “Lamps and the tables that they’re sitting on are both an airy mix of glass and metal,” she adds. “We selected a three-panel glass door to continue with the open concept.” The dramatic architectural ceiling detail is echoed from the master bedroom for a cohesive look.

Preparing meals has never been more convenient or enjoyable than in this well-equipped, brightly lit kitchen. Stainless steel appliances mesh beautifully with a white and gray background, white island table, and even a cushy seating nook. Pure white cabinets with a shaker style spark attention. “We took the cabinets to the ceiling and added glass doors with lighting for effect,” Manchego explains. Modern, streamlined barstools are by Interlude; the backsplash tile is an iridescent glass by Lunada Bay. Accents like the artwork that bring blues into the kitchen are another feature that makes the room unique and colorful, while a wine-tasting area with two chairs offers an intimate setting to snuggle up in with a glass of Chardonnay. Lincoln white countertops are by Pompei; distinctive lighting is designed by Hinkley. Beyond, a spectacular lanai, complete with inviting pool and fireplace, awaits.

Stylish seating for six elevates casual family meals to a stately occasion. A modern, streamlined chandelier—an LED glass lobe cluster by Kuzco Lighting—illuminates a unique organic-wood tabletop. To make the most of the smaller space, Hall placed a built-in dining buffet with ample storage against the wall. “The client loves wine, so they wanted to display their collection and we felt that peg mounting them on the wall made them a part of the art in this room,” Hall says. “We used the same stacked stone as the fireplace in the living room.” The center of the back wall showcases a backlit panel of wood that holds very special artwork in a lucite shadow box style. The wood floor throughout is Giuseppina wide-plank oak by Legno Bastone. A stunning canvas of blues, grays, and beiges on the far wall reinforces the familiar color palette; chrome accents are carried over from the great room.

The master bedroom calms and soothes in the color palette that is prevalent throughout the home. “The client wanted a very special master suite that was really reminiscent of a hotel room,” Hall says. “The owners are also very organized and don’t like clutter so we created an elegant space with plenty of storage.” Sconces, designed by Kelly Wearstler, were added on either side of an award-winning headboard wall made out of silk panels by James Hare. Flanking the distinctive headboard are hand-finished wood panels with floating nightstands, which “give the feel of extra space because they’re not sitting on the floor,” Hall adds. The bed and Stroheim fabric drapes were created by Diana Hall Design’s upholstery company, Raebecca Drapery by Design. The abstract artwork is by Benson and Cobbs. The beautiful ceiling, which is divided up into coffers to attract interest, was designed by Naples Kitchen & Bath. Adding to the aura are the golf course and lake views.

HIS AND HERS LUXU RY
The configuration of the master bath was completely changed by Hall and Manchego. A grand center column of Carrera marble in a herringbone pattern, with tiles by Happy Floors, wraps around and extends into the shower, giving the room a flowing feel. “They had a corner tub next to the window and the space felt small to us. We knew we could create a better flow in this important room,” Hall explains. “We opened it up by swapping out the tub for a big walk-in shower with two showerheads—his and hers.” This ‘his and hers’ concept carries over to the facing two sinks and warm gray custom cabinets; the classic sconces mounted on the mirrors are by Hinkley. Here, the color scheme is neutral, peaceful, and spa-like, with warm grays and whites, a polished porcelain floor, and bright white quartz countertops. Even the accent pieces blend with the vanities and other elements.
INDO O RS AND O UT
What better way to savor the sights and sounds of North Naples than on the splendid covered lanai. The alluring wood-stained ceiling of cypress wood infuses the room with a rich look; the coastal-style light furniture, detailed with extruded aluminum frames and faux teak arm caps, is by Cabana Coast. An eyecatching pebble cocktail table from the Phillips Collection enchants with charm and whimsy. “We like to do what we call ‘chat areas’ because it’s perfect seating for two couples,” Manchego expresses. Small cast aluminum drink tables serve to accessorize with a distinctive, contemporary edge. The glass door on the right leads to the dry bar next to the kitchen, while the slider on the left ushers all to the great room.

Refreshingly elegant, the home’s expansive outdoor pool and spa offers a place to unwind and swim away the cares of the day. Two majestic fire bowls introduce drama into the screened-in backyard paradise. At the far end sits a gas fire pit with four woven swivel chairs. A fully furnished, practical outdoor kitchen features bar seating; close by is a sleekly designed floating grill area. Topping off the grand space are luxurious lit fountains springing out of the pool. “The pool and outdoor area were very important to the owners,” Hall says. “When looking out, you see the pool and beyond that, a lake and that is a central feature the home is built around. We wanted to highlight that view in our design so furniture has been chosen and arranged so as to not obstruct the view.” Here is a great space for socializing and entertaining—top priorities of the owners. Again, the peaceful, serene, “just exhale” feeling that the owners desired was accomplished with the use of different textures, like the fireplace wall, chrome, wood, silk, and organic tables, subtle lighting, and soothing hues.

BRAIN
FOOD YO U R H E A LTH A N D W EL LN E S S is your most important possession, and your brain plays a critical role in your physical and mental health. While we know more than ever about this amazing organ, we have barely scratched the surface of understanding. While there are always new products offered to consumers with the promise of promoting a healthy brain, going back to the basics is key. Supplements can help, but you can make long term changes by adding brain-supporting foods into your diet and eliminating things that might be causing damage. This year, as you focus on your health, consider incorporating foods that will help your brain stay sharp. Here are some tasty items that can help you optimize your mind. Fatty fish is at the top of the list with salmon, trout, albacore tuna, herring, and sardines; all fantastic for the brain. These fish varieties are rich sources of Omega-3 fatty acids which not only promote brain health, they also help alleviate depression and anxiety. About 60% of your brain is made of fat, and half of that fat are Omega-3 fatty acids, so this is an important nutrient to include in your diet. Blueberries also offer numerous health benefits; many that specifically target your brain. They contain anthocyanins, a group of plant compounds with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Antioxidants act against both oxidative stress and inflammation— conditions that can contribute to brain aging
14 | YOU R HOM E M AGA Z IN E®
and neurodegenerative diseases. Some of the antioxidants in blueberries have been found to accumulate in the brain and help improve communication between brain cells. According to one review of 11 scientific studies, blueberries can help improve memory and certain cognitive processes in children and older adults. If you’re looking for a fun way to incorporate them into your diet, check out page 43 for a delicious blueberry smoothie bowl recipe. It’s hardly a chore to add some chocolate into
your life and thankfully, dark chocolate and cocoa powder are packed with brain-boosting compounds, including flavonoids, caffeine, and antioxidants. The flavonoids (beneficial antioxidant compounds) in dark chocolate gather in the areas of the brain that contribute to learning and memory. Researchers believe these compounds might enhance memory and help slow down age-related mental decline. According to one study of over 900 people, those who ate chocolate more frequently performed better in a series of mental tasks
TURMERIC Turmeric is the key spice in curry that gives it the yellow color. Curcumin, the most commonly studied compound in turmeric, is known for its ability to reduce inflammation, which can help in the prevention of diseases like diabetes, arthritis, and Alzheimer’s disease. A recent study found that aromatic-turmerone, another compound in the spice, may help brain cells repair themselves. Although turmeric is common in curry, you can get this spice on its own. It has a mild, smoky flavor, making it easy to add to any dish. Sprinkle it on steamed vegetables, or add color and flavor to fish and chicken. It also makes a great natural food dye.
CINNAMON A common household spice, it could be labeled as a superfood with its antioxidant content, ranking up there with blueberries and pomegranates. It also has the added benefit of reducing inflammation, fighting bacteria, and making you more alert. It has been shown that cinnamon can increase cognitive functioning, even just through smell alone, and might even be a possible treatment to enhance cognition in the elderly and people with symptoms of dementia. When adding cinnamon to your daily diet, a little goes a long way. Just one half to one teaspoon a day is all you need. That’s a little sprinkle in your coffee, cereal, oatmeal, or toast. For an added kick at dinner, try adding cinnamon to a spice rub with your favorite peppery spices.
SAFFRON
compared with those who rarely ate it. Dark chocolate is also a legitimate mood booster with another study finding that participants who ate chocolate experienced increased positive feelings. We have a great chocolate overnight oat recipe on page 47 to help you jump start your brain in the morning. Not only do they take your culinary creations to a new level, spices are great for your brain. To the right are four spices you should be cooking with to help improve mood and brain function.
This is a great spice for those suffering from depression. In studies, saffron in supplement form has shown to greatly reduce depression symptoms. As a spice, saffron has an intense flavor, so just use a tiny pinch. Harvested from the flower of Crocus Sativus, the vivid crimson stigma and styles, called threads, are collected and dried for use mainly as a seasoning and coloring agent in food. Saffron has long been the world's most expensive spice by weight. Originally found in the Middle East, saffron is still most commonly used in Mediterranean, Asian, and European cuisine.
BLACK PEPPER One of the most commonly bought and used spices in the world, Black pepper may have quite a few brainboosting effects. Studies have shown that piperine, the primary component in black pepper, can help improve brain function and lower depression symptoms. It’s also great to pair with other foods and spices, especially turmeric, because it may improve the bioavailability of nutrients in other foods, meaning your body absorbs more of the beneficial properties from your other foods.

MODERN
Masterpiece
BY OLIVER NASH PHOTOGRAPHY BY PELICAN PIX
MODERN DESIGN MEETS GREAT LOCATION IN THIS BEAUTIFUL West Palm Beach home. Located near the Intracoastal Waterway, the home’s second floor boasts water views from the upstairs balcony. Designed with intuitive living in mind, south Florida Realtor Suzanne Frisbie feels the layout is one of the best she’s seen, providing future owners a great variety of spaces; perfect for someone who needs a work-from-home setup. “The office and media room effortlessly convert into en-suite bedrooms so this six bedroom, six bath, 5,400 square-foot home offers really wonderful spaces for a family or for someone who has guests during the season,” says Frisbie. The home’s contemporary design features large windows that allow light and the lush views to stream in. “It’s like being in a fantastic treehouse when you’re inside,” laughs Frisbie. High ceilings are fitted with interesting light fixtures throughout, while the home sports impressive interior design that matches the architecture of the exterior. A mix of natural materials, metal, and glass provide the setting for neutral fabrics with pops of blue throughout. Frisbie states, “Overall, it’s a really beautiful home that’s been uniquely designed with the end user in mind. Features like the whole home generator, pool and lanai, proximity to the water, and the shopping and dining in West Palm Beach, make it difficult to find a better option on the market currently.”
GR E AT OUTDOORS The home’s contemporary architecture stands out as stone, stucco, and glass have been used to create a beautiful exterior. The square lines and clean colors are accented by lush landscaping; the design of which is minimal and unstuffy for a modern feel. The thoughtfully-chosen plants offer privacy and enhance the views from inside.

L I V I NG S PAC E “The home’s layout is very intuitive,” says Frisbie. “When you walk inside and take a look around you immediately notice how the rooms are laid out and how the flow works so well for everyday life and entertaining.” The living room features 24-foot ceilings that create an impressive introduction into the home. Comfortable seating is covered in crisp, white linen accented by dusty blue throw pillows. Two armchairs with silver T-back details also introduce color while maintaining the chrome and silver metals found throughout the home. A floor-to-ceiling fireplace surround is clad with textured stone to create depth in the room. A wall of windows and sliding glass doors lead to the pool beyond.
18 | YOU R HOME M AGA Z IN E®
D INNER TI ME Large format porcelain tiles on the first floor provide a base for the formal dining room. A mushroomcolored wood table is beautifully surrounded by cloth-covered chairs and adds an organic element to the room. “While the design is very contemporary, the home is warm thanks to the textures used in the furniture and the light the large windows provide,” says Frisbie. An Italian glass and steel staircase offers a sense of separation for the dining room while also serving as a design element.
COOKI NG WELL The large kitchen is filled with light and storage space. Flat panel, lacquered cabinets add a European aesthetic to the space. The soft greige complements the pure white stone on the navy blue island. The island’s waterfall edge counter is contrasted by the black stone counter and backsplash of the main counter surrounding the six-burner gas cooktop. A Thermador appliance package and Miele dishwasher make cooking and cleaning a dream in this open kitchen.
YOUR HOME MAG AZ INE® | 19
COZY COM FORTS Directly beside the kitchen, a comfortable family room offers a gathering space for casual get togethers and family time. More color has been added to this room, while organic elements and neutral tones anchor the space. With such large windows letting in light, the designer added electric shades to all the windows for privacy, but also to keep the home cool and comfortable as the sun shifts throughout the day.
20 | YOU R HOME M AGA Z IN E®
WO R K F R O M HO M E The well lit home office provides space for full time work or catching up on bills over the weekend. The room is well-appointed with a full closet (so it can be converted into a bedroom if needed), and floor-to-ceiling windows which take in the street view beyond. Finished with a wood desk and storage system, the room is warm and inviting.
YOUR HOME MAG AZ INE® | 21
M AST ER L E V E L Dreamy and open, the master bedroom features a monochromatic palette accented by rich wood tones and blue velvet pillows. Oak wood floors are used here and in all the upstairs rooms, to create a warmer base. The bed faces sliding glass doors which lead to a balcony area, perfect for starting the day with a cup of coffee.
E N SU I T E ACCE N TS The master bath sports a modern design thanks to the floor-to-ceiling porcelain tiles accented by unique carved stone in the large shower/bath combo. Surrounded by frameless glass panels and doors, the shower includes a tub with clean lines and a contemporary square shape. Chrome fixtures, a double vanity with thick cut stone counter, and plenty of windows complete the space.
22 | YOU R HOME M AGA Z IN E®
POOLSIDE E S C AP E Surrounded by privacy hedges, the pool and lanai area is a great space for sunning and entertaining. A beautiful blue tone, the pool features a large spa with seating. Grey stone tile complements the home’s stucco exterior. This home is currently available for $5,950,000.

VERY JANUARY WE LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE COLORS that will be influencing our lives in the months to come and this year we are noticing a bit of a green trend. From light and earthy to bright and fun, green has been the dominant shade chosen by most of the top paint companies as the color of the year. Green is calming and rejuvenating, so it’s no wonder we will be seeing more of it in our homes and wardrobes. Symbolically considered the color of life, green represents rebirth, nature, health, and growth—all things we hope for this year and beyond. Used in healthcare, green facilitates peace and helps patients and medical staff relax in a stressful atmosphere. Green, similar to blue, is also soothing to the eyes. Interior designers use green as a blend of multiple shades or in combination with other calm and peaceful colors, to create a restorative effect. While not technically a neutral, some of the options this year are muted enough to act as a base for your rooms without overwhelming your design. Incorporating this versatile color into your life is simple. With so many shades to choose from, there will likely be one that works for you. Here are a few top picks from popular paint brands.

GLIDDEN | GUACAMOLE
We all love the iconic food, and Glidden has captured that fresh and summery feeling in their color of the year, Guacamole. This spirited yet soothing green brings an organic energy to any space. Brighter than the other colors on the list, Glidden suggests using it in a variety of spaces and with a range of styles, including kitchens with glossy white subway tiles, furniture with blonde wood tones, and the gold and matte black accents that we still can’t get enough of. Perfect on an accent wall, front door, or even cabinetry, Guacamole will make you smile and bring a revitalizing energy to your home. Use this in conjunction with darker, earthy tones and subtle creams for a beautiful impact.
Guacamole Olive Sprig
PPG | OLIVE SPRIG
The crisp, grey-green represents regrowth mimicking nature’s resiliency. PPG believes the easiest way to shift your mindset is to change your environment and Olive Sprig is a color that will help you bring growth into your daily life. They also observe paint color preferences shifting in both residential and commercial spaces. DIYers, property managers, designers, and architects are shifting away from the stark, neutral palettes of yesterday and opting for color in all forms. This hue, while a defined color, can also be used as a versatile neutral that will complement an array of natural materials and architectural elements like unique wooden armchairs, bamboo flooring, or contrast beautifully with a natural slate fireplace. Olive Sprig is a relaxed, but enticing green that emulates the feeling of soothing aloe vera as it brightens any space with organic liveliness. A shade that lives well inside or outside, it blends in with nearly any environment. Olive Sprig can be paired with deep plum, soothing blues, muted creams and pinks, and soft beige tones.

Laurel Leaf
BETTER HOMES & GARDEN | LAUREL LEAF
The Better Homes & Gardens design team has introduced Laurel Leaf as their 2022 color of the year. A rejuvenating green that mimics the soothing hues found in nature, Laurel Leaf takes its cues from dusty green eucalyptus and the muted colors of succulents. This calming shade facilitates relaxation in a bedroom, office, or dining room. Part of a collection that features a curated palette of 84 colors, this product is a low odor, zero-VOC paint that provides excellent coverage while also washable and stain-resistant. With warm undertones, this color pairs well with creamy whites, cozy beiges, light wood tones, and leafy house plants.
Breezeway
BEHR | BREEZEWAY
This silvery shade with cool undertones is a color that takes its inspiration from the beauty of the earth and the look of dreamy pastel sea glass you might find on a beach. Behr says that Breezeway represents the intention to move forward, bringing you from one place to another. It’s “where a breath of fresh air meets a fresh coat of paint.” This beautiful color can be the star of your bedroom, living room, or hallway, or can be used as an accent on doors, cabinetry, and furniture. Pair this color with white, taupe, softened black, nuanced pink, and terracotta red.
Evergreen Fog
SHERWIN WILLIAMS EVERGREEN FOG
A warm, grayish-green, Evergreen Fog has been designed to invoke a feeling of new beginnings and works well with a wide variety of decorating styles. This color fits well in the organic modernism that began with Frank Lloyd Wright and is seeing a renaissance in design today. Evergreen Fog offers a certain nostalgia that can be tied back to the iconic Mid-century styling with a hint of the tones found in 1970s interiors. This color also works beautifully with the current cottagecore and farmhouse styles. Pair this with modern, organic colors like Urban Bronze, Shoji White, Bakelite Gold, and Woven Whicker.

October Mist
FARROW & BALL BREAKFAST ROOM GREEN
Breakfast Room Green is the most cheerful of all the Farrow & Ball greens. It looks lively in both bright sunlight or softer candlelight. Named after the usually east facing rooms designed for eating the first meal of the day, it is particularly beautiful in the dawn light. When used alone on walls and woodwork it becomes incredibly striking. Breakfast Room Green’s biggest asset is its versatility. This green can stand as an exclusive statement, but is also designed to work alongside other shades. This color pairs well with Farrow & Ball’s Book Room Red, Slipper Satin, Lulworth Blue, and Hay. Breakfast Room Green
BENJAMIN MOORE | OCTOBER MIST
A soft and earthy shade, this gorgeous green reminds us of restoration, relaxation, and peace. October Mist offers any room a sense of balance and harmony. Benjamin Moore describes it as “a gently shaded sage that quietly anchors, while encouraging creative expression through color.” This tone is mild enough to act as a grounding base for the rest of your design. The relaxing shade is part of a larger Benjamin Moore collection of 14 other colors. October Mist is the anchor for their Color Trends 2022 palette which consists of several other earthy shades of green, inviting neutrals, and a mild, yet bold burnt orange inspired by florals. “From refreshed primary colors to luminous pales and botanical hues, the Color Trends 2022 palette invigorates the senses and gives root to personal style,” says the brand.

THE JEWEL OF BOCA GRANDE BY C H A N N I N G S PA N O P H OTO G R A P H Y BY D I A N A TO D O R OVA THIS AWARD-WINNING HOME,
located in Hill Tide Estates on Boca Grande, offers everything people seek out when choosing life in this special location. From spacious rooms to beautiful design, Seagate Development Group and Theory Design created a beautiful model to showcase their work and to help future clients visualize the possibilities. “This model has since sold, but we felt it was important to create a space to show clients of both the builder and our designers,” says Ruta Menaghlazim, Vice President of Design at Theory Design. “It was the first home we built in this community, so it set a really wonderful tone for the rest of our projects here.” With just 19 home sites, Hill Tide Estates is the only location on Gasparilla Island that fronts Boca Grande Pass which is located at the mouth of Charlotte Harbor between the southern tip of the island and the northern tip of Cayo Costa. Approximately 300 yards wide, the Pass is
a staging ground for Tarpon migration and a destination for sport fishermen who know it as the Tarpon Capital of the World. For Seagate Development Group, this unique project was a perfect fit. A fullservice development company, they specialize in a design-build process via new construction, custom renovations, interior design, as well as management and leasing services. Team members are committed to high-profile commercial projects and high-end residential projects. Each is delivered with superior quality that exceeds customer expectations and values artistry, transparency, and sincerity. Seagate’s partner company, Theory Design, finished the interior of this home with a holistic and global approach that coordinates the interior architectural elements, harmonizing them with the surrounding nature. Featuring an expansive 11,184 square feet of total living space, this coastal home is the perfect island getaway.

“The home is laid out really well even with the most expansive rooms feeling very intimate,” says Menaghlazim. This is best seen in the great room, a beautiful space filled with classic materials and textures made new through their treatment. “If we were to give this style a name, I’d say it’s coastal transitional,” explains Menaghlazim. “The materials, like linen and rattan, are familiar, but we’ve chosen shapes that modernize them. The armchairs are a great example. They have clean lines while still bringing that coastal feel to the room.” Driftwood, white, and blue have been used in the space to add a nautical touch and slipcovered couches help keep the space casual—which is important for a beachside home. A hammered tin coffee table adds a little weight to the space and is topped with organic sea elements. On the windows, sheer linen drapery panels are light, giving the space a breezy look.

Creamy white and charcoal cabinets provide a great base for this well-designed kitchen. Menaghlazim points out, “One really unique feature can be found in the upper cabinets. You can see through the glass fronts to a window; that’s not a mirror or an artificial light. We added coral for visual interest and I love this interesting design detail.” Rhinestone quartzite counters top the large island, while a darker and more durable quartz was used on the perimeter. Above the island, hammered metal pendants add shine and texture. Subway tile has been laid in a herringbone pattern behind the gas range. With a mix of Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, this kitchen is the perfect place to start an island-inspired dinner party.

In the dining room, lighting with rattan woven shades steals the show. “This is another great example of how this classic material can be used in a modern way to create a coastal theme, so a room still feels elevated and design-forward,” says Menaghlazim. Canvascovered chairs flank a glasstopped table with dark base and metal inlay. Tongue and groove has been used to panel the ceiling for a beachy, yet upscale vibe. Outside, the view of the island and the lanai create a beautiful vista.

“The bonus room is upstairs and serves as a living space for the second floor bedrooms,” says Menaghlazim. “The layout of this home is so conducive to entertaining, as well as working for a young family or one that’s growing through the addition of spouses and grandchildren.” As a nod to the home’s location in the Tarpon Capital of the World, the design team added fish through art and accessories. A wet bar with floating shelves offers storage and a place to put snacks and drinks during movie night. Flanking the textured sofa, unique lamps with a tribal pattern sit on modern wood and metal side tables. Natural elements like wood and rattan keep the room feeling grounded and organic. On the deck, Boca Grande Pass and Charlotte Harbor enhance the design inside.

The sitting room in the master bedroom sits in front of large glass doors which lead to the pool and lanai. This cozy space is accented with a coastal palette of blue and white with comfortable seating and a dark wood table. Wire brushed white oak floors, gauzy curtains, and abstract art complete the space.

The master suite is a soothing space with muted colors and comfortable accents. A four poster, bleached wood bed is topped with Peacock Alley bedding. The texture and darker colors of the bedding play well with the wool rug in complementary navy and cream tones. The sunburst style mirror above the bed is casual through natural materials instead of the gold metals traditionally used. A white canvasclad ottoman provides seating and another attractive design detail.

The home’s location means the outdoor living space needed to be well-appointed but also durable as the salt air corrodes metals and easily damages woods that aren’t properly sealed. The focal point of this space is the fireplace clad in stacked limestone and the outdoor kitchen, complete with a large Wolf grill. NatureKast cabinets are built to withstand outdoor conditions and saltwater, and create an elegant yet strong kitchen. Woven outdoor furniture with high performance fabric cushions will stand up to the home’s island setting. Double coffee tables and a large outdoor dining table provide plenty of entertaining areas.

Discovering the Value of Antique and Vintage Furniture
W
hat was old is new again as the antique-buying trend continues. Last year we discussed Cottagecore and Grandmillennial, two design concepts that were sweeping the nation. Both concepts include antiques and vintage items, adding depth and texture to homes as they remain beloved design themes, especially by younger people looking to connect with the past. Purchasing already made items that make a lower impact on the environment means that antique furniture is in high demand, as more people focus on sustainable living. Antique furniture also works with a variety of interior design styles, so here are some basic tips for picking quality pieces that will last for generations to come.
Antique vs. Vintage
Usually an item must be at least 100 years old to be considered antique. Something younger than that may still be collectible and valuable, but would be categorized as “vintage.” Understanding this distinction is very important because the age of an item is a major factor in determining its value. This will help you as you search through stores, art fairs, and flea markets—you might be able to score a great deal or keep yourself from getting taken advantage of.
40 | YOU R HOM E M AGA Z IN E®
The Value of Antiques
Knowing how to value a piece is an important step that will keep you from spending too much. Sellers can ask any price for an item, but that doesn’t mean it’s worth that price. Here are some of the factors can affect antique values: RARITY: How many of these items are there? CONDITION: Is it in good condition, or does it have wear or damage? AGE: How old is this piece? QUALITY: Is it well-made, and does it feature the best materials? PROVENANCE: What do you know about this item’s history? Once you know more about the antique, you can search the Internet and compare your piece to similar ones on eBay, Ruby Lane, Tias, or other online stores. This should give you a good idea of what your item is selling for in other areas of the country. You can also check online price guides to see if your particular item is listed.
Picking Quality Pieces
Now that you know a little more about the classification and value of antiques, how do you choose a great piece, especially when it comes to furniture? There are so many different eras, woods, and styles so really it comes down to what you love. From William and Mary (antique) to Midcentury modern (vintage) there’s something for everyone. Once you’ve decided on an era, here are a few tips on finding well made pieces.
Drawers
A telltale sign of great craftsmanship can be found in the drawers. Pull them out and look at how they were constructed—this will reveal if the piece was handmade. Look for dovetails joining the sides of the drawers together. Dovetails are locking joints which have been used for centuries thanks to their strength and longevity. This type of joint is constructed from triangular wedge-shaped channels cut into the edge of each side of the drawer box. Also known as an English dovetail, these joints are offset on adjoining sides of the drawer box so they interlock when put together to create a box. Take a look at the inside of the drawer front as well—there should be larger cut marks called kerf marks. These will show you where the cabinet maker was cutting out the dovetails in the drawer. These are the leftover marks from the saw the craftsman was using during the process and it’s a tell-tale sign that it was handmade.
YOUR HOME MAG AZ INE® | 41
Hardware
While you have the drawer out looking for dovetails, don’t forget to inspect the hardware too. Look at the back of the handle. On a quality piece, you should see a threaded post and a nut securing the brass to the drawer front. If you see what looks to be the top of a slotted or flathead screw, that is an indication that the hardware is newer and the piece might not be worth what the seller is asking.
Signatures, Labels, or Stamps
Always check the backs and undersides of drawers to potentially find pencil marks or chalk signatures that may indicate who made the piece and where it was produced. If the piece you’re interested in doesn’t have drawers, check the back or look under the item to see if something has been signed, labeled, or stamped on there. Keep in mind that signatures are rare on pieces from the 17th and 18th centuries but there should still be clues. From the late 19th century through the 1950s, factory-made furniture would have stamps or impressed/stenciled numbers which correspond to model numbers of designs that were factory-produced. This will help you do some internet research on the furniture to verify authenticity and pricing.
Look for Damage
Keep an eye out for repairs and replacements. A repair means the furniture has been fixed, and replacement means a newer piece that may or may not have been manufactured using the same materials and craftsmanship could be added to the furniture. If you are an avid collector, this could diminish the value of the furniture, but for normal home use, as long as the replacement has been done properly, isn’t immediately visible, and will hold up with time—it shouldn’t be a large deterrent. Pieces are likely to be damaged on the part of the furniture that is subjected to the most wear. For example, we love to tip our chairs backwards, so did people in the past. Check the back of the chair, the upper portion called the crest, and the center supports, or splats, because those are most likely parts to have been repaired or replaced. Heavy chests of drawers have often been pushed rather than lifted. Look at the feet or legs first on these pieces for damage and replacements. Many pieces will sport cracks, so make sure these aren’t in areas that weaken the integrity of the furniture. Most will be fine and are even expected due to the wood expanding and contracting over time with fluctuations in temperature. You should expect to see those in pieces from the 17th, 18th, and early 19th centuries. It’s common, and doesn’t necessarily detract from the value. We hope these tips help you as you hunt for the next treasure for your home!
