Instead of an overhang
for seating at the island, the
Michels chose a custom-built
bar at the window.
“You can slide open the
window to serve food and
drinks outside,” says Brown.
“The barnwood ceiling
sourced by Crane Building
tied everything together
beautifully. The exposed
hinges on the cabinets and
ladder really gave it the galley
feel we were going for,” says
interior designer of the home
Sara Crane of Lizzy Mac
Interiors. “The Michels had
a clear vision of what they
wanted and made this project
so much fun,” Crane says.
White cabinets, exposed
hinges, teak counters and a
navy serving island deliver
nautical elegance. The side
window bar opens to a grill
deck overlooking the water
in St. James of Southport.
