The walls of the entry were painted a crisp white that keeps things light and bright, in this welcoming space, which sets the scene for this picturesque coastal home. The well-designed entry also provides a preview of the spectacular views ahead.

An attractive, easy-access storage area beside the front door includes an oversized double dresser, two chairs for seating, and a scenic painting from a local artist that picks up some of the coastal colors used in this home.

Having storage by the front door helps keep the entry attractive and clean. “We have a large oversized dresser that’s used to house all the things you need that you don’t want people to see when you come in and out of the house,” says designer Brian Patrick Flynn.

A local artist created his own interpretation of the property’s marsh in a beautiful painting that hangs above the entry’s oversized double dresser.
