The Quiet Coast

Emily Hughes and Jackie Yoder collaborated with homeowners and H&H Builders to design the interiors of their sophisticated, family-friendly home, full of features allowing them to entertain with friends and kick back with their young, active boys. Emily and Jackie collaborated with the client, the builder, and their subcontractors to select cabinet finishes, countertop selections, tile and flooring, plumbing and lighting fixtures, paint colors, furnishings and decor, and wall and window treatments. Construction drawings for custom built-ins and bathroom mirror and lighting placement were also drawn up by lead designer Jackie Yoder, while Emily Hughes provided onsite project management with the builder and subs throughout the building process.

The homeowners were seeking a sophisticated twist on modern farmhouse design, pairing coastal, organic finishes with fresh, clean-lined, transitional design elements. The home design combined a blend of light and airy, warm white and white oak finishes on the main level with contrasting darker, more masculine tones on the lower level. The two-story entry foyer of this home includes a catwalk with a bird’s eye view of the two-story great room fireplace surround and open living-dining space. The lower level features a show-stopping, technologically advanced golf simulator room, complete with walnut wood slat walls. This multi-functional room transitions easily from a grown-up entertainment area to a family movie night.
