iving back to the community, while owning and operating a successful interior design firm has always been a priority for Ponton Interiors owner, Kylie Ponton. In 2018, Ponton and her design team launched the Savvy Giving By Design, Tampa Chapter, and since then have completed more than 25 room makeovers for children facing severe medical crisis in the Tampa Bay area. The mission is to provide comfort, support, and healing to families with a child facing a medical crisis by transforming the interior spaces of their homes at no cost to them.

“As a mother of three, some of my favorite rooms to design are for kids. As soon as I heard about Savvy Giving By Design, I knew I had to help bring this to Florida” said Kylie Ponton, Chapter Leader SGBD Tampa, FL. “My hope is these spaces will give the children and their families hope, love and a touch of whimsy.”

Also addressed is the importance of a healthy space for healing by removing old carpet harboring allergens, adding wipeable hard surfaces, low pile rugs, organic bedding and easy to clean flooring.

“We are a 100 percent volunteer run organization which means that all of the funds we raise for these rooms go directly to the cost of creating magical spaces for kids that need them most,” said Ponton. “Our incredible volunteer team includes vendors who donate some of the hard costs in the room like new closets, electrical installations, paint and flooring.”“We’vemet some amazing children and their siblings and connected with beautiful families through this journey,” said Ponton. “When we design each room, we meet with the child and really find out what they love. Their hopes and dreams and favorite colors. We meet superheroes and princesses and artists and builders.”

high flying career as an airline pilot enabled Bryan Soli to travel the world and enjoy world class accommodations at leading hotels. The décor defining those high-end retreats influenced the look and lifestyle he longed for in his own home.

Kristen McKinlay and Melanie Rose of McKinlay Rose Interiors were tapped to handle the total renovation of the 1,349-square-foot space that formerly featured dated archi tectural elements that the designers eliminated, simplified and updated.

However, the high-rise building that hosts his two-bed room, two-bathroom condominium overlooking Bayshore Boulevard, Harbour Island and Tampa’s iconic Jose Gasparilla pirate ship, felt cramped and dark.

For help hiring interior design professionals, Soli turned to his daughter, an Atlanta-based pilot and flight instructor, also for Delta, who scoured the internet and social media channels to find just the right firm.

design, timeless décor and understated luxury, were among his preferences she said.

“I was a pilot for Delta Airlines and stayed in some of the best hotels in some of the most interesting cities in the world. My request was simple. Make my place look like a five-star hotel and, at the same time, make it comfortable for my friends and family,” Soli said.

“No detail was left unattended,” said Rose. The most significant change was to open up, lighten and brighten the entire space. Bathrooms were updated to create a clean, fresh finish. Wide plank French wood floors were installed throughout the penthouse for seamless continuity.Theprimary

The second bedroom that does double duty as an office and guest quarters, capably serves both roles with the help of a white pearlized sofa sleeper covered in a performance fabric. A rich marble inlaid floor in the guest bathroom matches the custom cabinetry to evoke a “classic style in new, modern, subtle tones,” according to the designers.

bedroom now combines warm, neutral tones with luxurious bedding fabric that blend with a monochromatic wallpaper background. Major renovations to the main bathroom include the addition of a luxurious spa bath and large shower separated by a custom glass partition and accented by a stone floor that provides a subtle foot massage. The mosaic tile inset adds elegance while the polished chrome finishing touches complete the look.

An oversized, open custom kitchen overlooking the dining and living rooms is accented by a beveled mirror backsplash with tortoise shell brown highlights and a modern chrome hood. A large mirror mounted to reflect the spacious “dinner party” sized table flanked by comfortable slipcovered dining chairs creates the illusion of a more expansive space.

The sophisticated color scheme, custom furnishings that include a living room sectional featuring shades of white leather and objets d’art like the hand blown glass pendants above the kitchen’s quartz countertops further elevate the home’s distinctive design.

An intricately patterned hair on hide rug adds an organic element that works well with the black metal industrial-style desk. Artwork installed on the wall depicting airplane designs serves as a nod to the now retired homeowner’s aviation career.
