Breezy Jersey Shore Beach House Revamp

Inspired by Moroccan tile, floral wallpaper and shaker kitchens, this home is flipped from a dated and dark design to a bold, bright beach home for the whole family. Just steps from the shore, the outdoor living spaces wow just the same as the interior.

This Vibrant Kitchen Is the Star of the Home

There's no doubt that the renovated kitchen is the star of the home. From the stunning marble backsplash and matching countertops to the vibrant floor tile and natural wood beams, this "after" is truly shocking. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dinette features a terrazzo table that Designer Nicole Cohen crafted herself.

Before: Cramped Kitchen With Dated Features

Although eventually, the kitchen would showcase a variety of materials and pops of color, prior to the renovation, the kitchen was dark and filled with dated features and bulky cabinets.

Bright Dining Nook Features a Terrazzo Table

Prior to the renovation, the dining nook was dark and crowded with very little useable space. Designer Nicole Cohen brought her vision to life by replacing the dull flooring with a vibrant Moroccan tile and adding a trendy terrazzo table that's surrounded by wood chairs and a built-in bench. Large windows let in ample light, giving the space an entirely new feel.

Colorful Art Is Featured on a White Wall

In order to create a family-friendly feeling space, the designer added whimsical touches, like this colorful piece of art, throughout the home to tie every space together. Minimal decor pieces sit atop a console table, adding just the right amount of sophistication to the family-focused home.

Large Archway Connects a Sitting Room to the Kitchen

A large arched doorway creates an architectural feature that connects the kitchen to a sitting area. The white walls and natural elements act as the perfect canvas for the denim sectional and large artwork that sits within the nook. Designer Nicole Cohen added a modern marble-accented coffee table to ensure the room had a touch of quirkiness.

Built-In Bar Features Cabinets and a Floating Shelf

Adjacent to the blue linen section, a built-in bar features a floating shelf and an oak cabinet. Various bottles are showcased on the floating shelf, giving the bar a lived-in, natural look; a theme that's present throughout the entire home. A modern light fixture hangs off the wall near the sofa, bringing a touch of modernity to the otherwise neutral space.

Unique Wood Mirror Accents a White Wall

Designer Nicole Cohen expertly added minimal decorative touches throughout that home that are design-focused, but also family-friendly. A unique wood mirror adds an eye-catching feature to the room's bright white walls. Mimicking the arches through the rest of the home, a white console table blends seamlessly into the space, housing Chinoiserie-style jars.

Natural Elements Fill a Modern Bedroom

This bright bedroom features a variety of natural elements that turned a once-dated space into the ultimate relaxation zone. Wood beams and large windows blend seamlessly with the more modern elements like the wrought iron canopy bed and the black barn door.

Before: Black and White Bathroom

The dated bathroom, with stark black trim and white walls, needed a complete overhaul to ensure the room could be incorporated into the design aesthetic of the rest of the home.

Bathroom Features Marble Freestanding Sink and Wood Paneling

Post-renovation, the home's main bathroom is practically unrecognizable. A freestanding marble sink hangs on a wall covered in wood paneling, bringing modern, yet natural elements into the space. The black-and-white checkerboard mosaic tile flooring gives the room an unexpected twist, a theme that's seen throughout the rest of the home.
