Amazing Renovation: Dad’s New Beach House Project

I just HAD to share these pictures before I signed off for the weekend (and nurse myself back to health). This is a beach house renovation that my Dad just finished- all I can say is A-MA-ZING. I can’t wait to see more of this house.

Here it is BEFORE:


They actually used the frame of the old house!

And here it is AFTER:

Street side (notice the lighthouse like detail on the roof?)

Harbor side- porches galore!

The kitchen- notice all the beadboard detail and the sailboats carved in the molding!


A delicious Perrin & Rowe bridge faucet on honed absolute black granite counter tops with a farmers sink made of the same.

Glass subway tile back-splash with special lighting to reduce the glare on the glass. I love the way this mimics sea glass!

Beachy, lovely bathrooms

The little details I obsess about: a Carrera slab seat in the shower. A perfect laundry room.

Beautiful stairs and entry tile work- also love the style of the door!

Great way to hide a TV above a fireplace…

What crappy views, right? :)

Things omitted from the pics- the putting green and shuffleboard court under the deck behind the house, the fact that the screened in porch shown above has big doors that open it right up to the dining area to allow up to 16 people to dine!

I hope I inherited an ounce of Dad’s skills!

    One look at the neighborhood and the lagoon and I knew where this house was. Your post reminded me that I need to get back there. I spent thirty summers there and my uncle’s house was just across the lagoon. YEA GLP. Great looking house.
