Cottage on Cabot

Published on July 15, 2019July 16, 2019 by The Pineapple Girls1 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.

Decorating With Trays

Published on November 3, 2016January 7, 2017 by The Pineapple GirlsLeave a comment

The Pineapple Girls love trays. They are functional, and great for organizing personal objects but can also add a nice pop of color and style to a space.

There are so many options for tray decor. We love them on a coffee table, a bedside table or even in your foyer by the entrance to your home. A great way to reduce clutter, trays are perfect for storing magazines, keys and small decorative objects.

Utilizing an ottoman instead of a coffee table is very popular, but where do you put your drink? A beautiful tray does the trick!

Trays can also be used for serving at a casual or formal gathering. A stylish tray can can serve as a quick and portable bar, just by adding some cute beverage napkins, a bottle of wine and cocktail glasses.

We adore these printed trays by one of our favorite brands, AERIN. Aerin Lauder is a granddaughter of Estée Lauder. Aerin spent 25 years working for the family beauty business before introducing Aerin, her own beauty, home and luxury lifestyle label, in 2012. Her products are true luxury, and we love having them as part of our collection.

We are also in love with these easily customizable lucite trays. We’ve added a custom fabric to create a design element in the photo below. You can also proudly display your favorite photo. It’s so easy to change your photo, fabric or wallpaper anytime! To change the photo, fabric or wallpaper just separate second backing from magnets.

Coastal Riverfront Home Tour

Our team at Pineapples, Palms recently designed this beautiful coastal riverfront home in Jupiter, Florida. The client was looking for a sophisticated, clean modern space.

The fresh color palette is white with sea glass and gray accents, which is carried throughout the entire home. The living room decor includes Lee Industries upholstered furniture and AERIN table lamps. The clear, lucite coffee table makes the space feel open and doesn’t distract from the elegant fireplace.

The powder room features China Seas wallpaper, which can be custom colored to match the decor of your space. The sleek nickel vanity with Calacutta marble top and open shelving creates an airy feel in a small room.

We partnered with Sebastian Smallegange of Turtle Beach Construction to create this captivating space with intricate ceiling detail and ship lap walls . A custom designed barn-style door features thick glass and chunky nickel hardware on a sliding track. Using glass allowed for unobscured view of the river. The sea glass accents add soft and soothing color. We placed our popular Brahms Mount cotton throws throughout the home.

This driftwood and glass coffee table is one-of-a-kind. It is hand crafted and can be made in any size and multiple finishes. The Pineapple Girls love the current trend of organic mix of driftwood with modern decor, and this is one of our most popular pieces.

How To Choose The Perfect Chandelier

Published on September 29, 2016January 7, 2017 by The Pineapple GirlsLeave a comment

The right lighting can completely transform a room and the Pineapple Girls love a great statement chandelier! When choosing a fixture, first think about what type of look you are going for in the space. Do you want to create casual elegance? An organic, coastal look? Or perhaps you are going for something very modern.

There are so many great options. The Modern Farmhouse look is definitely trending. We love this look, mixing rustic with clean, modern lines. The chandelier below would look great with a distressed farmhouse table in a dining room. Add some contemporary upholstered seating to complete the look.

Beaded chandeliers are also extremely popular. The beads can create a calming, spa feel in your bedroom or bathroom. The hemp on the chandelier below creates a more casual look so you can use the piece in other spaces than the dining room.

Tips for hanging your chandelier:

When you are ready to hang your chandelier, do not skimp on the time it takes to do the job right. It should be held securely in place with the proper fasteners. Hire a professional to make sure the job is done correctly.
When hanging a chandelier make sure it is at least 48” from all the walls to avoid overwhelming a small room.
Chandeliers have lots of bulbs. Make sure to use low watt bulbs to avoid both excessive heat and glare. Add a dimmer switch to add mood lighting to any room.
In order to guarantee that the view of dinner guests is not blocked unnecessarily, hang your chandelier approximately 30”-34” above the table
A chandelier should be in proportion to table it hangs over, keep the width to around 12 inches narrower than table should do the trick.

We are so excited to announce our new collection of pillows, created exclusively for Pineapples, Palms by acclaimed artist and textile designer Amanda Johnson. The beautiful linen pillows are luxuriously overstuffed and make us think of the white-washed bungalows of Santorini and the jeweled blues of the Aegean Sea.
