Current Projects: A Bald Head Island Beach House

Design Lines Van on Barge

 The journey begins! Above the Design Lines van takes the barge over to Bald Head Island, the day before the install. Logistics for this install had to be perfect because we were depending on barge schedules to and from the island. Plus the only way we could get around on the island was by a golf cart.

Thank goodness we were able to get our van on the island for the delivery.

Design Lines & Chris Lokey Building Concepts Bald Head Island Beach House

 This breathtaking beach house was custom built by Chris Lokey of Lokey Building Concepts. Over a year ago, Chris, Judy and the clients began meeting on this project going through the building plans looking at every interior and exterior detail, and specifying specific materials. The most unique thing about the house, is there is absolutely no Sheetrock. Every ceiling, wall, and flooring is wood.

Shades of cobalt blue, creams and wood give this room an extremely cozy feel.

Above the 3rd floor guest bath….a pebbled shower floor and lots of natural light. My favorite detail is the wood framing around the window.

And you thought moving a piano was hard enough….try 3 stories with a forklift and 4 guys!

 Placement is key… heavy felt bottom pads make adjusting the piano easy.

 

There will be more pictures to come in the coming months, so stay tuned!
