This Beach House was constructed in 1927 but most of the original parts of the house had been replaced at some point over it's history. We wanted to re-establish it's Old School roots so we replaced the ceiling with new bead-board and added cross beams that were common to the era. We also installed 3/4" Bamboo floors, replacing the carpeting.

We salvaged some molding from a previous project and added it beneath the chair rail to give it a little more refinement. We painted the walls a light blue, and the trim molding and ceiling a brilliant white.

We also changed the fans and light fixtures to a brushed nickle with Teak paddles. The Brushed nickle was repeated through out the house in the door fixtures in both entries and the doorways to the bedrooms and bathroom. We used a Teak coffee table and neutral colored furniture and an orange oriental rug to ground the space and compliment the floors and wall art. Normally we would have pulled the furniture away from the walls but the space dictated otherwise.

Project to be continued...

Kimo: great job. I remodeled quite afew homes so I can appreciate the work involved. You have to like the bamboo floors! Nothing like it. The rug does compliment the floor nicely.

Kimo- That does not look like the same house! Wonderful job, and I love when the character of the period of the home is kept or restored!

Thanks every one for your comments,

Steve: Real beams through three rooms, I'm talking WOOD, and it wasn't easy it took three of us to handle it.

It looks soooo much better!  I particularly like the ceiling, wall color and flooring choices.  The diffused light (closing the louver windows) makes for a much more attractive after shot as well.... I don't miss those from when were were in HI, but they do let in some great breezes!

Aloha Bryan, thanks for your question. I'm assuming you are referring to the blue wall color. I think my memory serves me correctly, and it's Hepplewhite by Benjamin Moore. I would need to go to the office to confirm that though.
