Interior designer Ashley Gilbreath reimagined this casual and serene seaside house as her family getaway in Rosemary Beach, a community in Walton County, Florida. The designer created a serene escape for her family of five, one that could withstand the element of the salty sea air and be durable enough for a family living — sandy feet and wet bathing suits.

The exterior facade of this ’90s gulf-front home was left intact. On the interior, the designer traded traditional beachy blues for the lush greens of the palms so often seen down at the beach. A spiral staircase was removed to enhance the flow of the floor plan, while the floors were given a facelift with oak hardwood flooring.

What We Love: This serene beach house is bright and beautiful with fresh pops of green throughout. The balcony is the ultimate perch for enjoying seaside views and a casual meal with family. We just love the kitchen, with its light and airy aesthetics from the white, green, and wood color palette. The eye-catching globe pendant lights are the icing on the cake. Overall, a beautifully redesigned home that provides a family with a fabulous beachside getaway,
