A La Cornue rotisserie and range were a must for the client.Phyllis steered her toward a Tiffany blue finish and hung matching pendants over the adjacent island.

“This kitchen countertop is the drama queen that has to be the center of attention,” Davenport says.

Jonathan Savage: from Music City to Palm Beach

Stepping from the private elevator into the nearly 4,000-square-foot dwelling, the eye is immediately drawn to the large mirror in the great room. Reflecting the Gulf of Mexico, it gives the illusion of being a window and sets a calming tone for the entire space.

A Regal Retreat in Admiral’s Cove

This London Bay Homes custom masterpiece was designed to capture Gulf sunsets and fit its surroundings as though it belonged in Old Naples for decades.

Grand Old Naples Home Boasts the Best of Both Worlds

Awash in tranquil shades of blue, the dining room chairs are backed with an undulating Viridis Topaz ombre-stripe velvet. Ashley Longshore’s fishbowl painting provides an eye-grabbing focal point, and linear crystal lighting floats overhead like a sparkling crown.

Tone-on-tone neutral colors flow into the great room, where splashes of blue are sprinkled throughout the living area.

Aqualane Shores Home is a Coastal Vision

Exposed-concrete columns add architectural interest in complementary contrast to the living area’s linear, paper-thin ceiling design. In the same spirit, Inarchi’s backlit marble planes suspend above a linen-clad sectional by James Perse that anchors the space atop Kinnasand’s charcoal gray kilim area rug. Movement becomes an overarching theme with sliding Res Italia wall panels and a series of cocktail tables from e15 and Gervasoni that can be easily moved around the space.

Contemporary Coastal Trove on Sunny Isles Beach

Integrated within the living room, the bar area was inspired by a Patagonia Exotic stone slab that illuminates with backlighting.
