“I splurged on the deck in the back, but that made the biggest difference and is seen from all parts of the home,” says Leah. The deck running from the living room to the pool “creates the most amazing outdoor hosting space,” she shares.

After clearing overgrown plants that had taken over the yard—while preserving many mature trees that were already on the property—Leah added over 200 native plants to the yard, which will grow and fill in over time.

After replastering the pool, Leah and Kyle planned on pouring concrete around the pool deck—but pivoted when they decided the outdoor space needed more texture, deciding instead to run the wood deck seamlessly to the water’s edge.

Before the renovation, the pool was in need of TLC—Leah and Kyle replastered it to bring it back to life.

While Leah and Kyle were unable to expand the compact primary bathroom, a skylight was added when the roof was replaced. “By adding a skylight and beautiful tile, we made it feel like a little spa even with it being a small footprint,” says Leah. Tile selections from Zia Tile include Apollo 12x12 for the floors and countertop, and Dune 4x4 for the shower walls.

The primary bedroom features a built-in walnut bed handcrafted by Kyle (Stille Home).

The guest bathroom—one of Leah’s favorite rooms—features a custom walnut vanity, and cement “Bateau Everglade” tile from Zia Tile. “I was a little nervous to go with such a bold patterned tile, but I couldn't be more obsessed with how it turned out,” she says.

“We tried to make the indoor space feel so much a part of that beautiful yard, so every room has beautiful picture windows highlighting the landscape and views,” says Leah.

Off of the kitchen, the cozy dining area features a pendant from Twenty One Tonnes, canvas wall art from Upton, circular wood wall art from Brian Grasela, and dining chair from Hati Home.
