DISTINCTIVE INTERIORS This master bedroom retreat was designed by Distinctive Interiors in the soft, coastal style their clients desired. The room’s awkward window (in both sizing and placement) above the headboard was a real design challenge. The owners wanted a refresh — not a full renovation with demolition or construction. Interior designer Stephanie Nolan was challenged to redesign the space in a way that would “hide” the odd window and still have the headboard wall look spectacular. To do so, she added a beautiful grasscloth wallcovering to soften the space and add texture, then masked the odd window by adding blackout lining and custom-designed artwork in a matted capiz shell shadowbox frame over them. This solution allows the owners access to the window while providing that symmetry it most desperately needed. Nolan chose Palacek’s natural lampakanai rope-wrapped bed in their White Sand finish and added a custom comforter in Ralph Lauren’s pure white brushed cotton fabric with soft, coastal pillows from Eastern Accents.

LEGNO BASTONE WIDE PLANK FLOORING Legno Bastone started five generations ago in the late 1800s when Luigi Bastone first started by cutting down his own trees. The same family runs the company to this very day. Over the years, we have optimized and expanded our production process, but we have never abandoned the ageold European traditions of craftsmanship when it comes to our floors. Every single floor is hand-crafted and customdesigned. Wider widths and longer lengths are what we pride ourselves on. This allows for the perfect look to create a surface with more panache and less seams. Legno Bastone products are more than just a floor; they become “Custom Designed Furniture for Your Floor.” Courtesy of Legno Bastone Wide Plank Flooring legnobastone.com Right: European Elegance Below: LaFamiglia Collection Rosina G1

NIKKI SEDACCA CURATED INTERIORS By collaborating with many local and regional artisans, Nikki both completed this project on time and supported many local businesses amidst the pandemic. She custom-designed many of the furniture pieces found in the home. In this project, the client wanted neutral hues and a minimalist, contemporary feel. The curves in the home’s architecture served as inspiration for curves in many of the design elements, such as the custom sofa. The client’s art collection was used as a focal point of the design. Less is more in this home. Each detail was important in curating the highly sophisticated space. The client’s office features geometric lines and shapes in the desk and textural details of the abstract painting. White orchids offer the final touch of both linear shape and natural beauty.

MINDY WEBB DESIGN Known for her aesthetic and style that aligns with iconic fashion houses, contemporary art, and classical interiors, founder and principal designer Mindy Webb, brings a reimagined level of “edgy sophistication” to each project. The Orange Club townhome, located in the heart of downtown Sarasota, was designed with the perfect balance of natural elements intertwined with contemporary clean lines, creating a modern coastal sanctuary for the clients. This projects’ palette consists of bringing in Sarasota’s coastal tones, combining calming neutrals while incorporating blue and green hues to add contrast and color to the home.
The homes’ entryway is uniquely located on the ground floor, while the kitchen and living space is on the second level. “We wanted to create a special moment for our clients as they enter their home. We decided to design a gorgeous custom mirror framed in gray oak to soften the contemporary lines of the console table,” states Mindy Webb.

The clients enjoy entertaining friends and family in this townhome. A custom entertainment wall was designed to be a focal point and visually separate the kitchen and living space. This entertainment console was designed to combine function and appeal. In order to maximize storage, the team designed the base of the unit to have floating cabinets with flat panel doors to create a contemporary style. The back paneling of the unit was designed with a stained walnut veneer to create contrast with the floating shelves and base of the cabinetry.
The highlight of this townhome is the stunning rooftop view overlooking downtown Sarasota. The vision for this outdoor oasis was to carry the contemporary palette through the interior of the home and marry it to the outdoors. The natural colors, textures, and minimal design of this patio create a sense of calm and tranquility. Courtesy of Mindy Webb Design | mindywebb.com Photography by Joe Drass
