The space balances practicality and beauty, with a palette drawn from the coastal blue hues of the nearby bay. 

The refined-meets-rustic finishes, including paneled walls and beamed ceilings, give the home a sense of regional character, while “furnishings with vintage appeal lend a sense that these newly constructed spaces were lovingly collected over time,” Marie says.

A new stone mantel turned the fireplace into a stunning focal point for the living room, chichis dressed in soft tones of brown and blue. 
 This Texas home has design elements that “work hard but feel luxurious,” Marie says. 

“We used a wide variety of stain-resistant indoor/outdoor fabrics, and anything that wasn’t inherently spill-proof was treated.”
