Notes
Spring Has Arrived.
It’s a season to get outside and enjoy area farmer’s market’s, film and music festivals, and food and wine events. It’s a time when things come alive before the heat forces us back inside. It’s the time to plant the garden and ready the pool and landscape for summer fun.

In METRO Home + Design , we feature condominium design on both sides of Tampa Bay. In At Home McKinley Rose Interiors showcases a modern, coastal elegance at Hyde Park House. The design is a warm and cozy coastal elegance, but reflects a sophisticated and high style.
In the Bliss condo project by Rob Bowen of Bowen Design Group, Bowen blends Old World charm with modern design. The space reflects textures of rich fabrics, metals and graphics. The design reflects the upscale, metropolitan setting of downtown St. Petersburg providing a comfortable and welcoming living environment.
Meet local Tampa Bay area dentist, Ron O’Neal, who has discovered a passion for painting and creating custom artwork through his company “Goatavious.” O’Neal says that art teaches inclusivity instead of exclusivity, and we could not agree more!
Discover in Home Trends that owner of Clayton Gray Homes, Wendy Garraty, sources home accessories from all over the country. Garraty says it’s about blending new and sourced vintage pieces to create a unique look for your home.
The next issue of METRO Home + Design will publish in September/October 2023 and we are looking for design projects to feature. As an architect, designer or real estate professional, let us know if you have a project that belongs in the issue. We look to provide portfolio pieces, real estate insights, trends and more to our METRO readers. I look forward to hearing from you.
