Cottage on Cabot

Published on July 15, 2019July 16, 2019 by pineapplegirl1 Comment

We were so honored to have this recent design project featured in the latest issue of Cottages & Bungalows magazine!

Cottage on Cabot is actually the home of top Pineapple Girl, Lisa Peterson. She is an interior designer and the co-owner of Pineapples, Palms, Etc.

Lisa has always dreamed of living in a comfortable, relaxed, Florida Cracker style cottage, with views and breezes from the water that create her “Barefoot Dream” lifestyle.

“Cottage on Cabot” was built with the true Florida Cracker architecture of the past, and blends perfectly with its historic surroundings. Cracker architecture was used widely in the 19th century in Florida. Florida cracker homes are characterized by metal roofs, wrap around porches, long and straight central hallways from the front to the back of the home. Peterson loved this concept so she incorporated many windows and doors that open onto the large deck, allowing the constant ocean breeze to fill the house.

This 1800’s antique farmhouse table from Belgium is the focal point of the dining room where many family dinners are shared.

This dream kitchen has so many special features. The oversized island is a favorite family gathering spot where food, fun, & laughter are shared. The custom banquette is the perfect spot for morning coffee and watching the boats go by. Finally, we love the custom hood and open shelving design.

The master suite includes a beautiful upholstered bed and large master bath with White Thassos hand laid herringbone floors, Calcutta marble vanities and double barn doors at the entry.

Chair Love

The Pineapple Girls are big fans of texture. Think rattan, wicker, seagrass…we love it all! Introducing one of our favorite new additions to the store and website…honey-hued wicker in a dramatic silhouette. The handwoven Dunley Lounge Chair is a bold spin on traditional barrel chairs, exaggerating the arms and chair curvature. Peeled rattan softens the look and gives it a casual vibe.

This chair is so comfortable! One of the things we really love about this chair is that it can be used either indoors or outdoors.

Rattan, seagrass, jute, wicker…we love it all! Woven furniture, lighting fixtures and accessories are in and we think this trend is going to stick around for awhile.

The organic look of these woven pieces really works well for modern coastal decor. We love using organic, natural elements in our homes.

How To Choose A Table Lamp

Published on August 22, 2018 by pineapplegirlLeave a comment

Table Lamps provide more than just light. They add an element of design and complete the style you are trying to achieve. Sometimes, we buy table lamps simply for the design aspect, but most often, we need lamps to provide function as well as style. Choosing the right lamp for your needs can be intimidating. Below are a few tips to help you make the right selection.

PURPOSE.

What type of lighting do you need for a particular space? Are you looking for a lamp that provides adequate lighting for reading, or simply create a beautiful ambiance for the room?

SIZE.

The height should be chosen depending on where the lamp is placed. For example, tall lamps look great on entry consoles or in large rooms with high ceilings. On side tables, make sure when seated you can’t see the inside of the fixture under the shade. Shorter lamps are ideal for desks and task lighting. Your shade should not extend beyond the table, console or dresser.

PLACEMENT.

If your furniture is floating and not against a wall, you will need to have floor outlets in the room. Also, consider the height and overall size of the accessories on the same table, console or dresser. You should use accessories with varying heights to create interest.

STYLE.

Think about the look you are trying to achieve. Lamps should compliment the existing style of the space, but also add a great design element. It’s fun to play with colorful shades. Navy looks great in a nautical inspired space. Clean white linen can blend in any decor.
