It’s often the most-used room in the home. Of course, we’re talking about the kitchen! And the one in the VIE Beach House – A Show Home in Seagrove Beach, Florida, does not disappoint. With deep-blue cabinets mimicking the gorgeous Gulf of Mexico nearby, open shelves, two state-of-the-art BlueStar refrigerators and matching range, a farmhouse sink, an expansive island with seating, and more, it’s a spot where the homeowners and their guests will no doubt want to spend lots of time.
Designer Cindy McCarley worked with VIE Beach House visionary Suzy Accola of Q Tile + Design Studio to render the openconcept kitchen and other areas throughout the home.

indy McCarley Designs has morphed into a lifestyle brand that includes interior design services, but the Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, professional is best known for her custom kitchen designs. As one of a handful of NKBAcertified kitchen and bath designers in the area, she stands apart from others by creating all of her kitchen drawings by hand instead of digitally. It gives her clients a colorful and personal look at what their future kitchen could be. “There is just something special about seeing ideas hand drawn on paper as opposed to a computer drawing,” McCarley shares. “Through my cabinetmaker, the renderings do eventually end up in digital format, but I think my clients can best envision their dream kitchen in my drawings.”
