A Transitional Flair
Robb & Stucky interior designer Donna Grose and design consultant Susie Petril wanted something a bit different for the Sea Pines model and designed an interior with a retro coastal flair defined by a palette of soft gray, ivory and blue, clean lines, monochromatic accessories and more than a touch of old Hollywood glamour.
Enter the stunning living room, with its lush, golf course views, and you’ll see that Grose and Petril achieved their aim. A symmetrical layout and furnishings arranged in pairs instantly lend the space a 50s feel. A monochromatic wood application featuring squares and circles makes a statement on one wall and complements the double step tray ceiling finished in vapor blue paint. The two ice blue velvet armless sofas are separated by a pair of cocktail tables, which have chrome bases and sleek hardwood tops. Behind each sofa stands a narrow Robb & Stucky original console whose driftwood-finished top lends an Asian flair.
In the dining room, the rear wall makes an impact with mirrors and substantial wood moulding painted a clean white that contrasts perfectly with the vapor blue wall color. Below the mirrors the clever inclusion of a shelf allows for the display of Robb & Stucky accessories.
Four dining chairs with gently curving wooden backs surround a square table in the breakfast nook. Framed abstract artwork and a decorative vase with a simple arrangement keep the look clean and minimal.
The adjacent family room offers views of the outdoor living area and pool and features a color palette of warm grays, aqua and white. The generously sized sectional sofa is covered in a neutral linen fabric accented by vibrant aqua pillows, while the artwork, silk-screened oversized botanicals, contrast in khaki and white. The ottoman has been covered in sailcloth with a mitered stripe and stands atop a Siesel rug. Airy drapery panels have silver grommets and the chrome floor lamp, with its three graduated circular shades, gives a nod to the home’s retro flair. Coastal flavor is provided via such accents as the oversized white shell placed on the coffee table.
Large and light, the master bedroom features 12-foot ceilings and an oversized custom headboard upholstered in natural linen. Behind the Robb & Stucky bed, an oil painting depicts a seascape alive with movement and featuring the theme colors of gray, blue and white. With ivory painted faces and campaign style hardware, the walnut night stands hold chrome table lamps with rectangular linen shades that add retro flavor to the space. White linen drapery panels in a horizontal stripe of appliquéd ribbon in ice blue and chocolate brown frame the tall windows. A salon mirror with a silver leaf frame and accessories with clean lines finish the room.
With its rich blue tones, the slate stone surrounding the jetted soaking tub gives the master bath an organic feel. The slate extends onto the floor of the large walk-in shower, complete with high windows affording garden views, and is complemented by the aqua wall paint. Framed black and white photos of Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and the walls of glass block behind the raised tub, give retro dash to this vintage inspired bath.
A tray ceiling with recessed lighting bathes the study in a warm glow that is further reflected by the silver sage paint color on the walls and the rich, walnut hardwood floors. Bookshelves with clean lines and a partner’s desk accompanied by neutrally upholstered seating have been contrasted with bold, white accessories.
Once again, Robb & Stucky Interiors has designed a stand out model that is both impressive and inviting. Easy livability and hip retro details, combined with transitional elegance, make the Sea Pines model at Lely Classics one “cool pad”.
