A Gatsby Summer Soiree

In 2013, VIE christened its first show home, a custom residence in the rustic yet refined community of WaterColor on Scenic Highway 30-A. The home, named Maison de VIE, boasts Swarovski crystal chandeliers, dazzling tile mosaics, pecky cypress ceilings, fluttering window treatments, ample natural light, and much more. The creative collaboration between VIE, Coastal Elements Construction, Q Tile + Design Studio, and architect Tammy Massey was brought to life in conjunction with a robust list of local interior designers, artists, and other vendors. We celebrated the home on a sultry summer evening by hosting a Great Gatsby–themed open-house party catered by Roux 30a for all those involved. A cover shoot and fashion spread followed the next day, with cover girl Lauren Spring portraying the spellbinding Daisy Buchanan while models Beau Vermillion, Jared Kane, Caroline Watts, Connor Flanagan, Sasha Churinov, and Jordan Staggs made up the rest of the Gatsby cast. Tour the home in our September/October 2013 issue.
