The Family Escape
Even celebrities need a retreat every once in a while. Country singer Luke Bryan, his wife and their five children turned to designer Chad James of Nashville, Tenn.-based Chad James Group to transform a dated beach home into an oasis for friends and family.
Inspired by the shoreline outside, James designed a simple white kitchen with a pop of blue for the island.
Bryan, the client, salvaged heart pine floors from an old factory in Georgia to install along the first floor.
The open spaces and plentiful seating encourage the family to spend time together enjoying the views.
“I like things to be unisex,” said James. “The graceful curve of this tub balances the home’s more masculine straight lines.”
