Family brings memories of Tuscany to their Oldsmar, Fl home
Johanna G. Seldes ASID was brought in at the initial design phase of this whole home redesign to make the dreams of Tuscan-country home a reality. The homeowners had a very definite vision for their home and it was Johanna’s expertise that delivered on every detail.
Starting with the exterior of the home, Johanna incorporated features such as stucco, stone, cobblestones, over-grouting techniques, deeply-hued hand-painted tiles, waterfall-features, lush landscaping with over-flowing planters all synonymous with an Italian county home.
Bringing the theming inside the home, Johanna continued with the Tuscan-inspired deep hues, intricate tilework, richly patterned fabrics, layered textures of the rough cut and hewn woods, stone, tiles, wrought-iron that all seamlessly weave throughout the entire home. Authentic architectural elements, such as fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, wood beams and, of course, a temperature-controlled wine cellar extenuates the Tuscan-theme.
Whole Home Redesign
The homeowners had very specific needs beyond the theme. This whole home redesign required every area of the home to be built for entertaining. The tone is set in the dramatic foyer with its sweeping curving staircase showcases wrought-iron and hand-painted tiles. From here, each room and area of the home is designed to enhance every entertaining experience.
A modern-day chef’s kitchen…beyond gourmet, it more than satisfies every appetite for preparing, cooking, serving, catering, family casual dining to hosting large sit-down dinner parties and gatherings. Living and family rooms expertly intertwine with outdoor living. And the outdoor living expertly evokes the Under The Sun feeling of both Tuscany and Florida. Outdoor living coupled with a dip in the infinity-edge pool all overlooking Tampa-bay.
This magnificent home captures not simply a theme, it evokes a true sense of living Under The Florida Sun.
