Beautifully designed by one of the most talented interior designers in America, Barclay Butera, this shingle California home exudes timeless elegance with a casual feel. Here, the designer share more details about this project:
“The home was originally purchased by a dear friend after her divorce and when we asked her what her dream design aesthetic would be, she said “tranquil.” That one word was the mantra for everything we did throughout the design process. From fabrics to furnishings, our goal was to deliver the idea of floating on a big fluffy cloud over an ocean of sea life and muted, oceans of green. Call it sea foam if you must. Even the paint color we used throughout the home was named Tranquility (by Benjamin Moore).
The home was your typical track home from early 2000, with dark cabinets, dark floors, and consistently dark and drab paint colors. We painted all the existing cabinets and built-ins White by Dunn Edwards to lift the spirit of the home. In the great room, because of the high ceilings, we added V Groove horizontal paneling and finished it in driftwood white to add a beachy, worn-over-time touch which made the room feel cozier. Slipcovered sofas, raffias and rope accents on soft neutral area rugs complete the airy vibe. Kitchen cabinets and the adjoining room built-in were graced with the same white-wash. The spaces came alive and were the perfect backdrop for soft, subtle green and chocolate. The master bedroom was not a large space (the bathroom was bigger) so we kept the entire room very subtle. Even though the duvet and euro shams are in a bold Celerie Kimble print, the colors are understated. The headboard is upholstered in a natural raw silk. Beachy art adds to the feeling of relaxation. Horizontal stripes, cream sheers on burnished bamboo rods let light filter in but allow the homeowner to view the outdoors!”

This is the kind of home you don’t want to leave! Every space feels comfortable and comforting…and you truly can’t help but feel happy in here!
The designer added horizontal v-groove paneling to add a casual, coastal look to the living room. It works beautifully with the decor and the height of the ceiling.
