Overlooking one end of the dining table is an oversized drawing by Sarasota artist Clive King which adds color, softness and vitality to the space. "I fell in love with this panel from a triptych when I'd seen an exhibit of King's work. It's hand drawn with a Sharpie, and then he goes back and colors it in," said Young.

It was important to the Youngs to use local talent wherever possible. The kitchen cabinets and all of the mill work were locally fabricated.
