While the designer knew this was going to serve as a guesthouse, she also planned to make it as functional as possible for any potential full-time living. This meant providing good storage without letting it take over the room. The built-ins have double rods, drawers and a washer-dryer.
The bedroom continues the global feel, dominated by vintage indigo fabrics. The textile on the headboard is from India.Lights: Schoolhouse Electric & Supply Co.; nightstand: Serena & Lily
The designer also had guests in mind with the open shelving choice. “I hate for guests to have to open every cabinet when they don’t know where things are,” she says. This way glasses, plates and bowls are out in the open where they can find them with ease. Vent hood: Vent-A-Hood; range: Bertazzoni
Marie stacked the pantry cabinet to the right (this wall also holds a panel-front refrigerator). Open shelves create an open feeling in the kitchen and enable the beautiful marble mosaic tile to extend to the ceiling.

A long custom floating cabinet houses all of the media equipment and offers storage to help keep the living room uncluttered.
A comfortable sectional makes the most of this corner. “This client travels all over the world. We wanted the guesthouse to reflect an elegant boho blend,” Marie says. The light floor, walls and furniture allowed her to punctuate the space with richly colored accessories. Throw pillows made from vintage Hmong textiles, a blanket from India and a Moroccan rug add layers of global texture that give the homeowner’s guests some exotic flavor in the mobile home getaway.

“We wanted a relaxed, beachy vibe, but we also wanted it to be a chic retreat,” Marie says. Predominantly white furniture and a clear view have replaced the big TV in the corner. The look is bright and light from the floors to the ceiling. The bleached floors look like wood but are laminate. Outside, bar stools cozy up to the deck railings. The top rail is 14 inches wide to accommodate drinks and plates. “Her guests can enjoy their coffee out here in the morning,” Marie says.Floors: White Wash oak plank, Reclaime Collection, Quick Step Laminatek; Saarinen table and Eames chairs: Design Within Reach; light fixture: Serena & Lily; bar stools (outside): Bend Goods
New Fleetwood doors meet at the corner, providing wide views of the hills and the cove. All of the windows and doors were completely redone and replaced. The TV now has a better placement on the wall in front of the sectional and can be enjoyed from the kitchen should any guests decide to get their celebrity chef on.
