Cottage on Cabot

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 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 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.

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.

Interior Design with White Furniture

White is a shade that never goes out of style or fashion. You can elevate and enhance your own interior design simply by incorporating this crisp, clean color in the home. Give your home a fresh, sophisticated makeover with some white schemes and design ideas that feature white as your focal point.

Some snazzy ideas for white interior design in the home include:

Bring in a white backdrop.white accent chair

First things first, what color are your walls and floors? While white furniture looks stunning against a contrasting shade, consider opening up your room and making ceilings appear higher by painting the room completely white.

Once you have this blank slate, so to speak, you can begin to pick and choose the elements that suit your style best. Not everyone is comfortable in a completely white space, from fixtures to furniture, but a white backdrop can be a subtle change that makes a world of difference. Echo the white with tastefully selected accents such as white ceramic vases on the table.

Bring sophistication to a sweet spot.

white living room furniture

There is something inherently elegant about white living room furniture, and these pieces can comprise the perfect conversation area for the home. Whether you are recreating a family den or a four-season room, find your sweet spot and transform it with white features.

Consider white slipcovers for your furnishings or invest in a contemporary sectional or white living room furniture with crisp chrome hardware. Add your own personal flair to the white design with a few pops of color or fun accents that give the room warmth, while still being a sophisticated spot.

White can be whimsical.

coastal white living room furniture

Take a fun approach to white interior design with whimsy; create a space around your favorite white accents, collectibles, or furnishings. For instance, if you love being on the water, take inspiration from a simple seashell. Create a coastal vibe by reflecting this throughout with shades of white, unique textures, and pale pops of color. Add a mirror to bring that sunny sparkle of the water to your space. Wicker feels natural and exudes a coastal feeling; add some wicker furnishings with plump, white cushions, and drape white wool throws casually over the back of your chairs.

The wonder of white.

White is such a versatile color in interior design, but it never seems to lose its timeless appeal and sophistication. Create a dynamic space that you want to spend time in by giving it a white makeover; invest in some white living room furniture, seek out white fixtures and accents, or give the space a fresh coat of paint, from floor to ceiling. Bring white into the home to give it a contemporary, invigorating transformation that will both calm and stimulate the senses.
