Designer Lindsey Rhodes designed an exciting—but comfortable—family dwelling.

Kelley was not seeking for “a enormous project” — the couple had beforehand been dwelling in a residence that they had lately renovated in buy to flip — but she known as her longtime inside designer, Lindsay Rhodes, to explore the kitchen area and discovered that Rhodes was intimately common with the house: Just one of her pricey buddies experienced lived in it a couple decades prior to. “I had sat in that kitchen so numerous moments,” she recalls.

This is the fifth home that Rhodes has made for Kelley, so the pair have some thing of a mindmeld when it comes to layout selections. “I know her amount of skills and her style is impeccable, so I sense snug more than enough for her to just pick every thing, and I know it will be wonderful,” claims Kelley. “At this level, nearly anything she suggests, practically nothing is way too ridiculous. She can be as imaginative as she wishes to be.”

The jumping off stage was a daring green marble Rhodes advised for the kitchen area, which pulled from the shade of the wallcovering in an adjacent place. But at the time the imaginative juices begun flowing, there was no holding back again. “It went from the dwelling that necessary nothing at all to another major task: We touched just about every home,” laughs Kelley.

Rhodes threaded a 1970s rock-and-roll vibe all through the property, and it starts off as shortly as you wander through the front doorway, with a classic sputnik-esque brass and smoked glass light fixture. “Our dwelling is really traditional on the exterior, and it is on a pretty common avenue,” explains Kelley, “so coming in and possessing that attention-grabbing ’70s pop set the tone for the complete residence.”

But the highlight of the entry is a painting by the Bahamian artist Amos Ferguson that hangs above a waterfall console table. It depicts a couple walking out of a pink church, arms all around every single other’s waists, a modest team ready to greet them. It truly is a scene familiar to the Kelleys: The issue is St. John’s Anglican Church in Harbour Island, the oldest spiritual basis in the Bahamas and wherever the Kelleys received married.

“Charles gave it to me for our 10th marriage ceremony anniversary, and Lindsay assisted him decide it out,” says Kelley.

Just off the lobby is a room wrapped in aquamarine Schumacher Chinois Palais fabric. It experienced been the former owner’s dining home, but Kelley turned it into what she calls the Females Lounge — a jewel box of a area to gather with the ladies in her lifetime.

“When I’m obtaining close friends about, whether we’re in our sweats or it is a cocktail get together, I like for us to be in a position to sit in an inspiring space,” points out Kelley. “You can have a cup of espresso in there or a glass of champagne and it feels celebratory.”

Sedate this place is not. Each individual piece (virtually all of which are classic) provides individuality to the party. There is a swooping velvet peach chaise, glossy brass geodesic tables, a pair of Zebra-printed arm chairs, a gold and environmentally friendly fringed pendant light, travertine conclusion tables topped with metallic desk lamps, and Rhodes’s favored piece in the total house: an antique mustard daybed purchased from Texas designer Kay O’Toole.

“She’s my layout crush,” gushes Rhodes. “She’s just a quirky, loving soul.” The piece is topped with bolsters Rhodes made out of silk Gucci scarves.

On the walls hangs art by feminine makers: a portray from New Orleans-based artist Ashley Longshore’s Backyard Club series and a custom made neon piece from Brite Lite New Neon that reads “She is Value Significantly Additional Than Rubies.”

By means of a butler’s pantry, the lounge connects to a clearly show-stopping bar, with counter tops produced of the inexperienced marble that begun the full undertaking. The partitions, ceiling, and cabinets are painted a pistachio hue that pulls from the stone and completed in a super shiny lacquer.

The contractor, when the room was entire, instructed Kelley the area looked like an ice cream parlor, a comment she graciously took as a compliment. Rhodes laughs at the story and adds, “Mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream.”

Striped black-and-white marble flooring insert drama, and brass accents, including the switch plates, continue to keep the glam ‘70s style. A 200-calendar year-outdated marble sink from France that Rhodes discovered at Chateau Domingue in Houston proved to be one particular of the far more difficult elements of the full job. “It wouldn’t drain,” says Kelley, noting that the fixture seems to be like it was hand-sculpted. “The water just pooled just about everywhere. We experienced to rework it a few situations to make it even on the base.”

Presented that the kitchen area was the impetus for the complete project, this is the place the major lifting transpired. Rhodes took down a wall that divided the place from the bar, so they now flow together, which also permitted them to move the peninsula more than to make the kitchen larger.

“I seriously like to cook dinner and entertain, and I desired to be in a position to have an in-kitchen dining location,” describes Kelley. And she bought every little thing she required, as the kitchen is her preferred home in the residence.

“Every time you’re in there, it is just a content room,” she suggests, including that her 4-yr-previous son now enjoys to cook with her. The very good vibes are pretty much built into the household: “When we renovated, we wrote prayers and messages of hopes and goals in the partitions that we required to occur to lifestyle in our household,” says Kelley.

Kelley enjoys a significant eating place, so she turned what was formerly the dwelling place into this house. She understood that her custom table would be the centerpiece, but beyond that, they could not get the design and style really suitable.

Following 3 failed principles, Rhodes came to Kelley with a picture of a Gucci outfit that includes a large amount of combined textures and patterns. “And that was the inspiration for the dining place,” states Kelley.

The 1st stage was to repaint and end the desk in a high gloss, neat mint shade related to the bar room. Then they turned the partitions into works of art with a “fabulous Gucci wallpaper,” and painted a sash-like stripe on the ceiling. A ruby-hued silk velvet trim lines the stripe though a baby blue version lines the woodwork. “We just created it appear like that outfit,” Kelley says.

“I like to have a massive, nuts, entertaining eating place mainly because when you are taking in there, it is a celebration,” points out Kelley.

Two measures down from the kitchen area a transformed Florida space is now Kelley’s husband’s audio home, with a file participant and his guitars. Grammys line the mantle, and a table guiding the couch holds a sea of other awards and memorabilia from his tunes occupation.

A signed image of Stevie Nicks has satisfaction of location over the fire. Lady A collaborated with the legendary singer-songwriter in 2013, and the Kelleys acquired this photo for her to autograph. “She claimed that it was a person of her favourite pictures that had ever been taken of her,” recalls Kelley. “It’s just one of our most distinctive items in our property.”

The room has also turn out to be the most popular hangout of their son, and Kelley admits, “It’s come to be our coziest place to hold out and enjoy tv set.” A Danish mid-century contemporary chandelier, classic leather-based chairs, a sink-into-me sofa, and a custom ottoman upholstered in a lengthy-haired jacquard material from Pierre Frey insert to the cozy sensation.

The purpose for the bedroom was to make it feel “like a warm blanket,” claims Kelley. In lieu of overhead lighting, sconces by Aerin for Circa Lighting increase a delicate glow. A deep indigo wallpaper from Rule of 3 wraps the partitions, darkening the space and bringing in the luxe marble factor viewed throughout the residence.

“Wallpaper just helps make these types of a significant affect,” claims Rhodes. “The space is truly large, so you could obtain a great deal of art, but the wallcovering tends to make it so cozy, still even now awesome and edgy.”
