Urban Lodge…the “Greystone”….PCBA First Place Winner….Ernie White shines again!
Ernie White refuses to stay stagnant.
He’s known for his stately traditional home….built to perfection….lacking nothing when it comes to trim. A classic to say the least.
With changing times comes changing décor. Young families need to be drawn in by his ability to shift and customize based on current trends.
Because this home was to be put on the market, I was able to have full control and stretch Mr. White like he’s NEVER been stretched! The house WON.…the buzz continues….here’s why.
-The cabinets are a muddy taupe and all the trim work is a perfect match
-A navy island base coordinates beautifully with the smoky slate back-splash
-The floors aren’t your everyday distressed hickory. They are seamless, dark and flawless
-The 8′ doors are a straight out of a New York loft….I painted them a deeper gray/olive to add contrast against the trim and to add even more life; door hardware….well it’s just edgy
-The lines are clean, right down to the solid wainscot wall in the master and the 3/4 high wainscot in the den
-The plumbing is bold; stainless and modern
-The lighting….oh the lighting. It’s ultra sleek; dark iron for richness
-Master baths don’t have to be feminine; but trust me….a woman will flip over this zen-ful retreat. Dark slate, glass tile and calming Cambria ushers in serenity
-Coffered ceiling with cherry beams bring a unique skilled craftsman appeal in both the great room and dining
-The fireplace…my favorite! Above the mantle is random sized plank wood and below is linear slate mosaic
-The built-ins beside the fireplace not only match the kitchen cabinets in color, but also in style
-The stained ceilings on the ENORMOUS back lanai with Pool Blue’s sophisticated darker pool, fully surrounded in pavers makes you not only want to entertain, but throw a huge party
-The full outdoor kitchen/grill, the pool bath, the front door, the exterior colors…….
The list goes on and on!!!!
This prized home is fully staged and ready for a family or empty nesters.
Kristina Kreations…..that’s me….owns ALL furnishings/accessories and willing to negotiate selling with the purchase of the home or future staging.
There’s something really unique about this home. Amanda Bass say’s “it’s straight out of Colorado; something you typically don’t see in Polk County”.
I had a blast creating this home for Ernie to shine and for a future Lakelander to posses.
I’ll let the pictures do all the talking from here…..
Love ya Ernie and congrats on winning 3 first place ribbons this year! LOVE working with you and your fantastic team :)))
It’s more than décor,
Kristina
