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.

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.

Rustic wood floors reflect light throughout the space and keep things feeling bright and open.

A casual seating area incorporating natural textures and pops of blue anchors the great room and provides space to connect with family and friends.
