“Suite Retreat”

December 19, 2023

When meeting this beautiful family, I immediately felt their warmth and kindness. It inspired me to reflect this feeling in our design boards for the space. Envision ceilings rich with millwork, warm wood trim and brass tones throughout. Welcome to our Suite Retreat!

Project Details

interiors // GLDESIGN

location // WESTPORT, CT

builder // POLCER HOME LLC

photography // FRANCES V. ISAAC PHOTOGRAPHY

tile // NEW ENGLAND TILE

plumbing // WATERWARE SHOWROOMS OF FAIRFIELD

lighting // CHLOE WINSTON LIGHTING DESIGN

The project entailed a re-design of a bedroom with en-suite bath and an arched entryway space. The footprint was there but the rooms needed some tender loving care.  We chose to make the dutch ceiling the showcase and trimmed the double miter shiplap boards with white oak around the perimeter.

Since the bedroom was large enough to accommodate a bedroom area and a lounge area for hanging with the family or watching tv we made sure to include cozy, inviting textures and all washable fabrics.  When selecting the palette, we chose White Heron by Benjamin Moore for a crisp but not stark white and kept the floor stain a natural hone.

The en-suite bath called for the same warm tones and we chose House of Rohl’s™ Italian brass finish to adorn the space. If you look closely enough the mini mermaid floor tile adds depth and whimsy to this elevated bath.

Every detail was chosen with intention from the wall mounted faucets, to the 83” fluted white oak vanity, modern tub and honed shower tile finish.

Due to the expansiveness of the suite, we eliminated as many doors as possible and instead opted for a barn door in and out of the bath and highlighted the glorious arch to define the separate spaces.

Suite Retreat was one of our moodier palettes and we couldn’t be happier with the juxtaposition of our love for laidback luxury and modern California design.

Whether you’re tucking in the chairs, tidying th Whether you’re tucking in the chairs, tidying the office or closing the laptop shut, I hope this weekend brings you rest and an opportunity to recharge. I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I couldn’t do this thing called life (and work) without my team. TGIF! 🫶🏻

I started working right out of college and haven’t stopped… many jobs, many promotions, many travels, two maternity leaves, lay offs and career switches, I find myself still pondering “what’s my career goal” sometimes. With age comes wisdom and I must say that now more than ever before, my goal is to slow down. Not slow my growth, just take in every success, every baby step, every failure more intentionally. Ask myself, is this potential client or project good for me right now? Feel confident to say no to a dinner or outing that doesn’t fill my cup. Spend every possible second with my family. Go for walks and hold hands. Spend time at the gym caring for my body and cherishing my friendships. Book the ticket. Take the trip. I know it may sound silly, but these are my goals. So long as my life goals stay my number one priority then my career goals are met with ease and success (I’m pretty sure it used to be reversed)!

What’s your goal this year? 🫶🏻
When the nook goes from alarming to darling 🙌🏻 Happy #transformationtuesday !
