The turquoise waters and pristine beaches of Elbow Key in the Bahamas have long been a haven for relaxation.

Marsha Faulkner, the visionary design talent behind Studio M Interior Design, has reached new heights of recognition, being named a 2024 Featured Design Pro by Architectural Digest! This prestigious designation acknowledges Marsha's exceptional talent, innovative approach, and consistent delivery of stunning living spaces that inspire and captivate.
Today, we step inside a stunning luxury oceanfront home in Destin, FL, where Marsha has masterfully orchestrated a luxurious and inviting contemporary transitional interior. The moment you enter, you're greeted by a breathtaking vista of turquoise waters and sugar-white sands, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience.
Nestled on a sprawling lawn in horse country, this home boasts beautiful Georgian architecture. However, the older brick home presented some design challenges, mainly with lower ceilings. The goal was to open up the spaces and make the rooms feel spacious, modern, warm, and inviting. The design team worked closely together to create a paneled formal living area that greets guests as they walk through the door. To maximize the view of the valley beyond, we enlarged the opening between the foyer and the living area.

In the past the when the upper class had their portraits painted they would instruct the artist to omit unflattering features, so there is some question of the historic accuracy of some of the historic portrait art as we know it today. Personally, I enjoy the freedom of modern day art. We seem to have evolved to the point that the idea of beauty and what is beautiful has become more natural and as the world becomes a smaller place thanks to technology, we seem to embrace different cultures as beautiful and the need to omit certain features as unflattering is falling by the wayside.
Have you ever studied the human form? Uninterrupted? Without that awkward silence that comes from really looking at someone? Try studying a portrait!! They don't care that you stare!
A collective work of art made by anyone adventurous enough to give it a try......BRILLIANT!
