Island Home

While I may have mentioned that I'm more and more a fan of minimalist traditional interiors in my post on Monday, those who know me well know that if I ever moved way back down south again to Florida or an island I wouldn't hesitate to go full stop "Palm Beach Regency" in my design choices. My mother recently told me that she had thrown away a great deal of rattan furniture left in our house when they first moved to Florida in the early 80s. I gasped and sputtered in horror, these are the exact items I lust after in vintage stores. Anyway, I loved the Island Spirit feature in April's House Beautiful. It's a beautiful, light filled home in the Bahamas design by the talented Amanda Lindroth. What's not to love? The limestone clad walls in the living room. Rattan and Bamboo in abundance on the veranda. Blues and Greens used throughout. All the white keeping that restrained look I appreciated so much in good design. Nothing's too over the top or crowded. When can I move in?
