This project began right as the first shovel hit the dirt for a brand-new pool in this family’s home. Collaborating from the ground up gave me the unique opportunity to shape this outdoor living space with intention, harmony, and creativity at every stage. From early planning through the final touches, it was a joy to bring this resort vision to life, alongside a wonderful client with whom I continue to share an ongoing design relationship. One of my favorite pieces for this home was the fully custom outdoor kitchen island, crafted by my friends and parters at Falcon’s Nest Design & Co. By choosing to go custom, we were able to build a longstanding piece of furniture that fits the space like a glove, and functions perfectly for the homeowners from every drawer, knob, and shelf.

I love that these photos capture the results of that collaboration— breezy, storied, vacation appeal.
