OLD FLORIDA ELEGANCE
Interior designer Bridget Ray layered muted tones of blue, green, coral and off-white to transform a dark, heavy Old World décor into a lighter, Old Florida elegance at a Winter Park home, while creatively integrating the existing furniture and artwork of the homeowners, architect Bill Platts and his wife, Heather, into the overall color scheme.

A very narrow waterfront lot meant building up and not out, but the Charleston low-country style house with island plantation features is a perfect fit in more ways than one. From the first step inside the architectural and interior detailing makes its own statement. And the designers from Godfrey Design Consultants made sure it was cozy and extremely livable.

A totally raw penthouse in an established downtown tower is a rare find. But it means the design possibilities are virtually limitless and very customizable. With the designer right at home — Ted Maines had designed the common areas of the building when it was first opened almost 10 years ago — it got even better for Kimberly and Dan Dias.

Like a fairy tale swan this beauty on Lake Maitland was not always so attractive. It took some very visionary collaborators to look beyond the surface and see the potential. This was more than a remodel — it was basically rebuilt to take advantage of the setting — and designer Kristen LeSchander made sure Annette and Gavin Ford got exactly what they wanted inside.
