Built for midnight giggles, flashlight stories, pillow forts, and cousins who swear they’re “not tired yet.” Bunk rooms are where memories are made, one late-night laugh at a time, and this one is no exception! ⚓️

We discovered these framed vintage life preservers at market and instantly knew exactly where we wanted to use them. ⚓️

Sometimes the most unexpected finds turn out to be the perfect finishing touches!👌

The rope beds are definitely a favorite feature! ⚓️

And don’t worry, they’re not actually suspended. We designed them with a concealed support platform, recessed several inches underneath each bed to create the illusion that they’re floating. All the fun of a floating bed, with the stability and support of a traditional one! 🛏️

We embraced the unique architecture of this space and had this slanted door custom-made to feel like something you might find aboard a ship. ⚓️

Crafted from stained black walnut with brass inlay and a coordinating brass k**b, it’s one of those special details that brings the entire design concept to life.

Need a little privacy? We designed these custom “flags” to mimic a ship’s flags and had them handcrafted by a local workroom. ⚓️

With hooks on either side of the window, guests can easily secure them in place whenever they want a little privacy. A fun, functional detail that adds to the nautical charm of this bunk room for sure!

The navy shiplap walls and round brass lights add to the ship-inspired feel without being too “theme-y,” if you catch our drift! ⚓️

And just when you thought you’d seen it all! 😉 The fol

Everyone loves the finished photos, and so do we. But there’s something equally exciting about the in-between.

The details taking shape behind the scenes are the moments where ideas become reality and months (sometimes years) of planning start to come to life.

We love walking a project site and immersing ourselves in the installation, problem-solving and collaboration that happen long before the furniture is placed and the styling is complete. Every beam, wire, and custom detail tells part of the story.

Beautiful finished spaces don’t happen by accident. They’re built one thoughtful detail at a time, and we are genuinely just as excited about the construction process and the in-between as we are about the final reveal. ✨

A look back at where it all started. ✨

Now that this whole-home remodel project is complete with a main house and a darling efficiency apartment, we’re pulling this one from the archives: a behind-the-scenes look at the hard finishes presentation that helped set the direction for the home.

Stone, tile, plumbing, hardware and finishes, all considered together long before installation begins. This is where the layers start to come together and the vision begins to feel real.

From presentation to completion, and all points in between. ✨

INTRODUCING :: Project Palm + Plaster | Delray Beach, Florida 🌴

A custom new build residence with an old soul.

Inspired by the timeless architecture and understated elegance of the West Indies, this home will unfold through layers of texture and patina, interpreted through a refined Florida lens with a subtle hint of modernity.

Tumbled stone. Chalky, matte finishes. Natural materials.

Nothing shiny. Nothing polished. Everything perfectly imperfect.

These beautiful exterior renderings by Affiniti Architects offer a first glimpse of the vision for this project, with much more to come. Follow along as we work closely with our client to thoughtfully shape every detail of this home, inside and out. ✨

Sometimes the most important design decision is knowing when to add a curve. ⚪️

In this space, we intentionally layered strong vertical and horizontal elements to complement the angular architecture: a striped linen wallcovering to draw the eye upward, a painted tongue-and-groove ceiling in the adjacent space, and a horizontal stainless steel cable railing.

The challenge wasn’t creating visual interest. It was creating balance.

To soften the strong directional lines and unify the composition, we introduced a circular silver chandelier. Its curved form provides contrast to the linear elements, while its metallic finish subtly references the stainless steel cable railing. The result is a space that feels both visually engaging and thoughtfully resolved.

Great design isn’t about avoiding tension. It’s about knowing how to harmonize it.

The details are never just details. They are the design.

These custom bar shelves we dreamt up combine the warmth of pickled white oak with the refined elegance of brass inlay and escutcheons. (Swipe left to reveal the handcrafted details!) While these elements may seem small on their own, together they create depth, character, and a sense of intentionality that defines great design.

At SBD, we believe the most memorable interiors are built on carefully considered details. Every material selection, finish, and decorative accent contributes to a cohesive story, proving that true luxury is found in the craftsmanship you notice up close.
