2013 HGTV Smart Home : Front Yard Pictures

About the Front Yard: 
Drawing from the design of Jacksonville Beach's original shingle style vacation homes, HGTV Smart Home 2013 is nestled into the landscape, with a wide front porch that invites relaxation while providing shade from the intense Florida sun. In keeping with shingle style design, a light tower in the front façade mimics the look of a cupola or widow's walk and a detached garage with cupola replicates the look of a boathouse.


A wide front porch, topped with a 24 gauge standing seam roof, invites relaxation and conversation with neighbors. Pine straw covered beds planted with Asiatic jasmine greet guests along the front fence.


Classic yacht club style rocking chairs, fashioned from durable composite material, carve out a cozy reading and conversation area.


An oxidized iron clad wood table is set for a midday snack. Blown-glass tableware, pottery and linens hint at the interior color palette.


Coquina style exterior cladding, which references the construction of the earliest homes in St. Augustine, lends visual interest and tells a story of the First Coast and its architectural history.


Planted between the picket fence and the front porch to draw attention, needle palm will grow to a height of 4-1/2 feet and provide needed massing in the landscape.


Maintenance free Asiatic jasmine replaces sod in the front yard. "We're taking that line between the structure and the natural environment and softening it so it feels like there is not a firm and precise break line," says landscape architect Jeremy Marquis.


A driveway clad in permeable pavers leads to a boathouse style garage and the home's family entrance, where an outdoor shower provides a space to rinse off and refresh before entering the home.


A planter strip of dwarf Mondo grass stabilizes the surrounding soil and minimizes the amount of pavers used in the driveway area.


2013 HGTV Smart Home : Dining Room Pictures

About the Dining Room: 
Open to the kitchen, great room and back deck, the dining area transforms to a cozy cocoon when linen drapes are drawn. Formal furnishings in a dark finish elevate the design, while a graphic print area rug grounds the space and lends a contemporary element. "Most of us have lost our dining rooms, which is fine, but sometimes you want that formal, intimate space," says interior designer Linda Woodrum. "That's what the drapes do: All that wonderful fabric creates the feel of an intimate party without losing that open living concept."



The area rug's bold graphic print, in a dark espresso color, grounds the space and lends a contemporary aesthetic that counters the room's formal furnishings and dramatic Empire style light fixture, fashioned from wrought iron and washed wood.


A concave dining chest, neoclassically inspired, served as a springboard for the room design. Interior halogen bulbs shine a spotlight on porcelain dinnerware and resin-cast white ribbon coral.


Clear glass taper holders, in chess piece style shapes, lend drama while keeping views unobstructed.


Seating up to eight guests, the trestle style dining table carves out a formal dining space. Dining chairs, upholstered in a celadon-hued fabric, echo the home's subtle beach theme.


The open concept dining area flows seamlessly into the kitchen. Clear glass subway tile, which clads the kitchen backsplash, sparkles gem-like in the distance.


"It almost feels like a cabana out on the beach," says Linda of the dining area. "It's so uniquely special and it's very applicable to people's own lives  having the ability to shut the kitchen off even if you're draping just one wall."


Master Bathroom Pictures : HGTV Smart Home 2013

About the Master Bathroom: 
An effective layering of materials and patterns spells success in the spa style bathroom, where honed travertine and glass tile blend seamlessly. The "tone-on-tone, clean" look, says interior designer Linda Woodrum, complements the room's high-tech features, including a toilet/bidet and programmable shower and tub features.



Travertine tile clads the floor, wall and ceiling in the glass enclosed shower and bathing area, where a series of windows beams light into the space without sacrificing privacy.


The room's wet enclosure includes a soaking tub, nested in the 6 foot deep by 3 ½-foot wide bathing area. Why a shower and bath combination? "You are at the beach and maybe you want to come home and have a long soak but first you shower off and then you soak," says Linda.


The 7 foot vanity, capped with quartz, offers his and hers sinks. Bayberry bouquets and an African violet lend an infusion of color and pop when paired with ceramic candle lanterns and condiment plates topped with imported French milk soaps.


Clear glass encompasses the wet enclosure, while a wall of frosted glass offers a buffer of privacy in the water closet area while allowing sunlight to stream through.


The oversized vanity mirror reflects light and visually expands the size of the space. A mercury glass lamp placed atop the counter surface continues the focus on reflective surfaces.


Kids Bedroom Pictures : HGTV Smart Home 2013

About the Kids' Bedroom: 
In the kids' bedroom interior designer Linda Woodrum broke free from the rules of understatement and high regency style. Kitschy, she says, is OK in a space that celebrates family, fun and a child's first wide-eyed experience at the seashore. "The twin bedroom has great appeal for everyone. The skateboards over the twin beds speak to a young teen, but change those out and it becomes a guest room or a young child's bedroom," says Linda.



Inspired by the rich colors and patterns of the Mediterranean, a machine woven area rug anchors the space and serves as a springboard for the room's saturated color palette.


An industrial style demilune table stands in contrast to the room's cottage inspired furnishings. A handmade glass lamp provides the needed focal point.


A three tiered chest carves out a focal area and reading nook. Beachy whimsical artwork, including an original acrylic sea life painting by "island impressionist" Kathy Frosio, keep the design focus lighthearted.


Replace skateboards with traditional artwork and dress the cottage style twin poster beds in classic fabrics, and the space becomes ideal for adult guests.


A custom made duvet, backed in linen, provides an extra layer of warmth on cool beach nights.


A closet turns homework center with the addition of a desktop, corkboard wall and beach inspired artwork.


An ottoman with the look of a weathered antique provides space to store books and toys and doubles as seating in the room's reading area.


"Wonderful colors, a great view, fun fabrics, and furnishings and accessories pull together to create a bedroom that works in many ways," says Linda.


Laundry Room Pictures : HGTV Smart Home 2013

About the Laundry Room: 
The home's secondary entrance opens into a laundry and storage space, where towels, swimsuits and soiled clothing can be stripped and beach gear stowed before one advances into the home's formal spaces. Both hard working and stylish, the room hints at the home's overall color palette and design aesthetic. "I just wanted it to be happy and pretty," says interior designer Linda Woodrum, cognizant of the view into the laundry room from adjoining spaces. "The laundry room is going to be the primary entrance for whoever lives at HGTV Smart Home and it's important that you see something attractive when you first walk in."



Designed to keep sand and soil outside, a secondary entrance located conveniently adjacent to the driveway and garage opens into a laundry room, where one can clean up after a day at the beach.


Hard working yet stylish, the laundry room makes a designer statement. Vibrant green walls connect to lush side yard views and a Jacksonville Beach, Fla., street light banner doubles as artwork.


Energy efficient appliances are tucked conveniently under counter; the muted titanium finish lends a modern sensibility.


A series of black-and-white photos, captured by photographer Eric Perry, features local Jacksonville Beach surfers.


A pocket door opens to reveal an adjoining pantry/closet, which offers space to store beach gear and accessories, plus cleaning supplies and dry goods.


Both stylish and functional, polished quartz countertops offer ample space to fold laundry.


A window bench offers a cozy spot to stop and kick off flip flops and stow them in hand molded rattan baskets before entering the kitchen. A garden stool may double as a laptop computer stand.

Shower Niche 
Keep soaps, sponges, hair-care products, and other shower essentials off the floor and at the ready with a built-in shower niche.


Towel Hooks 
When placing hooks, bars, and rings for towels, think about user convenience. Aim for two hooks , next to the shower, plus at least one ring and one bar for each vanity.


Bath Bench 
Revive a bench with paint and new upholstery to play off your bath’s color palette. Then place it near the tub or shower as a perch and storage spot. The open space below the bench is great for a bin  full of extra bath supplies.


Tub Caddy 
This sturdy, easy-to-make bath caddy spans the tub and is a handy and safe spot to keep a book, bath supplies, or any pampering pretties while you soak. Paint the caddy to coordinate with the walls or to add a pop of color.


Linen Closet 
Maximize existing closet space by making L-shape shelves for linens, grooming products, and cleaning supplies. Bars on the inside of the door hold towels. Containers with character a wire basket, an antique bottle carrier, bowls, and canisters add style. Painted corbels serve as shelf dividers.


Jewelry Rod 
Keep jewelry tangle-free, easy to see, and always accessible by using curtain or shower rings on a towel rod.


Makeup Drawer
