A gorgeous home, for a very down-to-earth professional NFL player.  This is just another spectacular Robinette (spec) home located in Hawks Landing, Plantation, Fl.

From the initial stage, Sherri Goode worked with her client diligently to achieve a rich, clean, simplistic, but more importantly a comfortable feel.  This open floor plan lends itself to the much desired continous flow from one room to another which is needed for the clients needs. Her client likes to entertain in which these goals were accomplished by using multiple textures and finishes creating an earth-toned,  monochromatic color scheme.  The scale of the furnishings was a very important requirement for the comfort level necessary by her client.

The formal dining room’s beauty was created by using earth tone colors to create a warm down- to- earth feel  that her client favored. The elegant carved dining table and chairs were upholstered in a combination leather/fabric which in deed was the perfect scale for her clients comfort. The  Fine Art chandelier sets the tone to offset the shimmer on the feature wall which was hand painted in a special plaster, galaxy technique which was sealed with copper glitter. The drapery, functional and decorative in nature, suits all needs and gives the opulent, but Northern-like feel.

The formal living room's beauty was evolved by using a myriad of woods, hides, fabrics and textures. The beauty of the large scale bergere’ (chairs) were covered in cow hide/leather combination. The Theordore Alexander cocktail table and end table is  combined with wood/tooled metal and claw feet that helped create the classic, traditional but Northern-like feel. The cow-hide  rug tied it all together. The hand carved, Italian side board created and old world feel and in keeping with the scale/balance that the room required. The signed bronze artwork is dear to the client’s heart.

The warmth and comfort in the family room is one of  her client’s favorite hang-out spaces. The custom wall unit was designed to accommodate her clients needs for audio visual requirements and was custom built with many details which included a special air brushing technique to create the richness of the maple wood. The custom made sofa combined once again with a leather/fabric combination is also another favorite for entertaining and relaxing. The long haired rocky road rug and custom abstract art work piqued interest by adding a contemporary flair to a more traditional setting.

The game room/loft  is another favorite space for Sherri Goode’s client. This space allows for multi-tasking to take place.  A game of Pool? Cards?  or just relax watching television at the pub set? This custom 8’ pool table made with lacquered piano wood and mother-of-pearl inlays create a sophisticated feel.  The custom chandelier is made with real deer antlers and raw hide shades. This motif brings the client back to his home town feel.

The breakfast nook and kitchen were tied together from the family room in this open floor plan. Once again, great for entertaining. This monochromatic feel created the warmth that the client requested. Another spectacular Theordore Alexander piece(breakfast table with imported chairs). Custom made soft folded roman shades with a faux suede studed cornice added masculinity to this setting. This space was tied together by a custom chandelier creating a sophisticated rustic feel. The metal original/signed art work complimented the space. The kitchen and bar, simplistic in nature created a casual feel with comfortable Hickory White swivel bar stools. The custom pendants(Spanish Mediterranean)  were made of antique rod iron that coordinated well with the breakfast chandelier .

The master bedroom suite exemplified a true, warm and comfortable feel. The Century upholstered leather headboard and California king rails/foot rail were custom ordered in an upgraded walnut finish. Custom bedding was made to coordinate with the motorized window treatments. The sitting chair is also a custom fit to size with a black/gold embossed velvet fabric to coordinate with the remaining fabrics. The abstract art once again created the eclectic flair to this traditional setting.

Another master bedroom suite on the second floor was created for my client’s parents to enjoy on their visits to South Florida. The requirements needed for this special suite was a casual-comfort motif. The casual modern headboard/nightstands that are attached lended itself to this nature. The artwork had a northern flare along with the custom bedding and custom functional window treatments. The goal established here was to make them feel right at home.

The formal living room vignette is a sophisticated, casual meeting place. Once again, comfort being first and foremost along with attention to detail. The Ferguson Copeland custom sofa is of a chocolate velvet/silk combination with nail heads along the rails.  The large scale bergere’s are made from cowhide on the backsides and leather on the seats.  A close-up view of the Theordore Alexander cocktail table sets the tone of the room. A true art piece in itself. The signed bronze eagle by Mark Hopkins added to the elegance of this setting. The gallery wrapped abstract artwork of a city scene added to the air of unpredictability.

The pool side, once again is another favorite hang- out location.  The custom seating by Source Outdoor was chosen to tie in the interior with the exterior.  This court yard home lends itself to a warm, open feel by bringing the outdoors in.  A true beauty to the nature of the Florida tropics.

The common denominator used throughout the interior was mixing textures and finishes in warm monochromatic hues. The design goal was to create a Rich, Simplistic, Clean, Comfortable feel. The attention to detail yields a space that emits warmth and luxury, just as the client pocesses. The compelling mix in this home maintains an approachability that truly makes if feel like home.
