Business in the Front, Party in the Back: The Living Redemption
We’re baaaaaaaaack for another season of Rock the Block! And this time, there’s only one thing on our mind: REDEMPTION.
This time around, we’re looking to add the most value to a waterfront home in Treasure Island, Florida. Without a second thought, we knew that this home needed to undergo a huge transformation and stand out from our competitors, but also cater to the Treasure Island community–and that’s how we landed on the “tropical retreat” theme.
After last week’s kitchen remodel, there was still so much space on this main floor to utilize; it was important to find a way to make the most of it AND add the most value possible. Since we can’t change the square footage, we knew adding a secondary primary room and a full guest bathroom would be the most bang for our buck.
Our goal: create a space that radiates major vacation vibes and feels like a true oasis, but also is a totally Instagram-worthy space. This challenged inspired us to call our home, “the mullet house” you know… business in the front (peaceful living room), party in the back (the rest of the main floor). Like Brian said, we put the fun in functional.
Now, let’s talk about our living room design, well really our “main living spaces” including a living room, a full guest bathroom, and a primary suite. *This blog post may contain affiliate links

Key Design Elements
- Refreshing color palette, walls: SW-7551 Greek Villa from Sherwin Williams
- Accent wood on the ceiling from AFH Products
Yes, you read that right–we really put engineered hardwood flooring on the ceiling…and the results were even better than we could have ever expected!
The light hues of the white oak floors in Laguna, from the AHF Coastside Collection, paired beautifully with the floors and other kitchen materials, creating a cohesive and welcoming ambiance. (This product is available at the Lamb & Co. Design Center – contact our design team to learn more)
- Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass door
- Focal point fireplace in the living room (yes, we know it’s Florida and probably not needed but, it creates ambiance and good vibes AND it adds value.)
