Vote for Calypso Delight in the Best use of Color category of the Stylish Spaces competition by the Virgin Islands Property and Yacht magazine and win cool prizes! Color selections have a huge impact on the feel of a space. I have included a couple before pictures here as well to further illustrate the impact of color on this home. The home owners requested Caribbean color, with sophistication. I pulled the color palette from the beautiful views around the home to help further the connection between inside and out. I am inspired everyday by the beauty that is the Virgin Islands!

Vote for Hotel California in the Best use of Color category of the Stylish Spaces competition by the Virgin Islands Property and Yacht magazine and win cool prizes! Hotel California was built by architect James S. O’Halloran in 1971 (it was then called Vagabond House), as a unique piece of architecture that combined local and Caribbean-wide styles of building. In repainting our property we tried to enhance this architecture with colour by using a variety of hues to emphasise the different structures in the compound. Thus, for instance, the Living Room at the east end is “Tutti FruttI” and the Bathroom at the west end is “Peachy Pink”, with a variety of other colorations in between. Inspired by “Crafts Alive” and “Soper’s Hole” we feel this combination of hues brings out the best in this unique property. We feel we are the “best choice to win the category”, because we have one of the very few residential properties that uses multiple Caribbean colours on its exterior.

Our thanks to Navindra Persaud for the painting, Paint Factory for the paint, and John F. Black for the drone photography.

Settled within a tranquil neighborhood, South Watch is a sanctuary in a Caribbean paradise. It is evident upon first viewing that this home was created for relaxation. Painted with traditional pastel Caribbean colors, the charm of this home is enhanced by impeccable detail, characteristic of the late Michael Arneborg, architect.

The original building contains 2 ensuite bedrooms, living room, kitchen, screen porch dining and laundry. The front porch is a unique gathering place with views of Sir Francis Drake Channel, Sopers Hole Marina and the untouched mountains of St John’s National Park. To see the sun rise and set from this vantage point is majestic.
