After living with the previous owners’ choices, the new owners were more than ready to make their home a reflection of themselves.
They reached out to Cindy Lloyd of Feather Your Nest for a much-needed refresh. Deep colors, while nice, were not the vibe they wanted to continue with. While on vacation, they found inspiration that was bold, vibrant and colorful, the exact vibe and look they wanted. “This couple exudes fun,” says Lloyd. “They’re active, they travel, they go out and they love to entertain.”

The focus was on the family room and main bedroom. First things first, the dark flooring was replaced with a lighter, white oak floor. Next came fresh paint on the walls and trim, specifically Benjamin Moore’s Cotton Balls on the walls and Simply White for the trim. Both were warm neutrals that complemented the new color palette without being boring white.
Upon entry, a wall of doors and windows leads your eyes to the creek. This is where the couple envisioned a colorful, dynamic fabric for a valance to serve as the focal point on that 14-foot expanse. The need to retain the brick-and-stone fireplace required a bit of creativity, but a coral and aqua color scheme fit the bill perfectly. An original artwork placed over the sofa tied the colors and textures together.
In the main bedroom, the couple selected Benjamin Moore Yarmouth, a soft green/blue. A favorite piece of artwork from their collection was chosen for its strong yet soothing colors. “It really pops off the wall,” Lloyd says. She then suggested fabrics in equally strong colors for the draperies and chair cushions. “The wall color really shone as a backdrop. Thankfully, they had no fear in using strong colors and patterns.”
The project came to a bit of a standstill when the custom rug for the family room met with a couple of glitches: tariffs and shipping delays from Turkey. But Lloyd believes that the right thing is always worth waiting for. Already, another project or two is just around the corner. Says Lloyd, “I look forward to getting together to share our visions for the next phase.”
