Custom Coffee Table

When the design team couldn't find a coffee table large enough for the living room, they created a custom-sized table by grouping two industrial-looking tables made from rebar and used glass for the top.

Local History

A photograph from 1970 found at an area historical society that depicts shows local surfers and printed on the same material as bus wrap creates a conversation-worthy accent wall. "Basically it's four really long strips of massive stickers and by the time it's put up it’s seamless and you can't even tell," says interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn. "It looks like someone just made a gigantic photo."

Useful Art

The accent wall provides an on-demand view of the ocean, even if you're standing in the kitchen at night and the darkness outside eliminates the water views enjoyed earlier in the day.
