F R O M T H E D E S I G N E R : “Upon returning to Rhode
Island after many years out of state, our clients wanted
us to design a space in their water-view Warwick home
with a coastal vibe that would be practical for both
entertaining and everyday use. While the vaulted ceiling
and beams offered a structurally open feeling, the dark
stone fireplace and brown tile floors made the space feel
heavy and dated. To refresh the room, we installed a
stacked stone fireplace in light tones with a white frame
and mantle, as well as gorgeous millwork detail for an
added element of interest. The new art, furniture and
decor in soft blue, green and natural tones speak to the
beach cottage aesthetic our clients dreamt of. As for
functionality, this room is right off the kitchen, so by
mounting the TV to the fireplace, we enabled the clients
to view their favorite programs while cooking dinner.
Alternatively, they can relax in one of these super comfy
swivel chairs while enjoying a movie and a cozy fire!”
F R O M T H E C L I E N T : “The most fun part of the
process for us was the reveal. To see what it was, and
then what Blakely made of it, was really exciting. We
were shocked at how much brighter the room was, and
it turned out even better than what we were hoping for.”
