H T S V I L L E B E A C H YOU CAN ALMOST FEEL
the sand in your toes and the
sun on your skin from inside
Jeff and Gina Harrison’s
home. The unobstructed
views from the oceanfront home bring the
outside in.
Gina and designer Gigi Sireyjol-Horsley
wanted to treat the oceanfront view like a
statement wallpaper with the inside color
schemes allowing tranquility and a warm,
homey feel. Luscious blue hues give way to
beige and white, illuminating the comfort-able
kitchen and living space of their recently
remodeled north end home.
“I want people to feel like themselves when
they’re here and for the interior to reflect
that,” Gina Harrison says.
There’s an understated elegance to each
piece of décor. The large wooden dining table
points to the ocean, while every aspect of the
design embraces the natural elements without
sabotaging their beauty.
“Gina wanted something super quiet, ele-gant,
gentle and bringing the nature inside,”
Sireyjol-Horsley says.
After purchasing the home last year, the
Harrisons undertook a total renovation on
the 1992 construction. Melinda Rider of
Kitchen Blueprints, who had worked with
the couple on their previous home, remod-eled
the kitchen and master bath with func-tionality
in mind. The first major project
was taking out the closet and building in a
double pantry with roll outs.
“We had Asa Worthley Construction
tear out a framed pantry with a door, and
expanded that space with two big pantry cab-inets,”
Rider says. “The other big change, we
got rid of the raised bar, so you could actu-ally
see out to the ocean from the kitchen.”
