Amanda Lindroth\u2019s Bungalow Revival is Where It\u2019s At<\/H3><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#9e9e9e”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786909900123{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]By Lauren Wicks | Photography by Dylan Chandler <\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786909956846{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]It\u2019s always meaningful when a designer is asked by a beloved friend to design their home. It means even more when the home itself already has a place in the creative\u2019s heart.<\/p>\n

That was the case when Amanda Lindroth took on this Gulf Stream cottage. Located on the site of the namesake school where Lindroth attended for nine years, the location\u2019s serendipity and sentimentality added layers of excitement and nostalgia.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_single_image image=”9690″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1786910240688{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786910260905{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Lindroth\u2019s dear friend had purchased the house online and already had a vision before stepping inside. She coined it the \u201cLove Shack\u201d because of its quirkiness and coziness. The moniker proved a launchpad for Lindroth and her team who worked on imbuing a playful and laidback air. They were inspired by the Bahamian houses Lindroth has created across the Abacos, Eleuthera, and beyond versus the more proper American coastal homes.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_single_image image=”9687″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1786910268986{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786910281878{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]\u201cThe client said, \u2018I just really want it to be happy and light-hearted\u2014It\u2019s a beach house, not a palace or a mansion.\u2019\u201d says Lindroth. \u201cI took her at face value, and she got herself a pink and green, silly, happy place in most of the house, plus a couple of rooms that have the gravitas needed for someone of her stature, because she\u2019s a very proper person.\u201d<\/p>\n

The design process for Lindroth always begins the same: Circulating a lot of beautiful imagery to gauge client response. Lindroth and her team \u201cpermanently scour Pinterest\u201d to find images that will help create a home\u2019s design story and educate them on the client\u2019s true design sensibilities. Lindroth also has plenty of conversations before a single design element is selected to ensure that she\u2019s figured out the client\u2019s personality, lifestyle, and interests.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_single_image image=”9684″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1786910299257{margin-top: -30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_single_image image=”9681″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1786910308632{margin-top: -30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1786910318946{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Thankfully, in this case, Lindroth had decades of friendship to go off of and knew that her friend\u2019s desire was to trade the Big Apple (and big winters) for a lower-key, but equally vibrant new chapter in South Florida. Lindroth\u2019s team began by painting the floors\u2014even painting a \u201crunner\u201d up the stairwell\u2014and swathing the entry and living room in a watermelon pink. However, one of the less-than-endearing aspects of the home was the layout of the common areas, and Lindroth turned the original living space into the dining area and the entry hall into the living room to ensure important gathering spaces had copious natural light.

The client\u2019s beloved custom sofa upholstered with a giant ikat print from Quadrille anchors the living room along with matching stools and her beloved coffee table. The dining room\u2019s beautiful antique breakfront was brought from New York. Lindroth cleverly skirted it in Quadrille\u2019s Chantilly Stripe to cover up AV equipment while matching the walls and dining chairs. The table is adorned with papier-m\u00e2che flora and fauna from Casa Gusto, which also fills the China cabinet.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still plenty of richness and texture in this space, and one of Lindroth\u2019s all-time favorite furnishings is the vintage rattan sofa, which she upholstered in a delicate stripe and double brush fringe.

That meant it had to serve as an outdoor dining room, seating area, and pool lounge space while still allowing people to move comfortably between furnishings. Lindroth brought a sense of tropical frivolity to the outdoor room with seating by O\u2019Brien Ironworks and a custom awning that makes every day look like an excuse for a poolside cocktail party.<\/p>\n

Lindroth featured her friend\u2019s Gulf Stream chapter in her newest book, Island Dreaming,<\/em> published by Vendome Press. \u201cIt\u2019s nice to have a client who knows what they want, and that\u2019s my friend exactly.\u201d<\/p>\n

And a Love Shack is exactly how to begin a new island \u2014 or peninsula\u2014chapter.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_single_image image=”9688″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” qode_css_animation=”” css=”.vc_custom_1786910492505{margin-top: -30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#9e9e9e”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1771949776391{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
