Casey Key Color Palette Inspiration

A form of therapy for me is early mornings on Casey Key shark tooth hunting. The surroundings may have a lot to do with it; from the aqua color of the gulf to the perfect little shells, and pelicans diving for a fresh catch, and of course the dolphins I find great solitude and peace in these moments.

I hope these colors inspire you!

All paint selections are Benjamin Moore.

PA Project Foyer

Design Consulting is my absolute favorite! It can be as simple as taking a tired home to the next level via paint, flooring, and lighting all very simple projects one can tackle on your own or with a little help.

The new black and white marble floor is timeless and our paint selection is for a deep foresty green. I pushing for clients to paint walls and trim the same color! Let’s see if they go for it!

Progress!

Fireplace Redo! Who doesn’t love a Before & After?

There was no option, but to transform this fireplace in time for the holiday and our 1st Christmas at Four Palms!

Fun fact, the previous marble mantel weighed 4,000 lbs when weighed by the recycling center.
