She found inspiration in visiting the vestiges of old Florida: the Bonnet House in Fort Lauderdale, the Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and Ernest Hemingway's home in Key West, taking careful notes along the way."
"The aim was simple: to make the house beautiful and create an environment for her family to feel at ease that reflected their tastes and passions. "I just wanted to put the soul back into it," as she tells it. Save for bed frames, mattresses, and maybe a lamp or two, there was not much to buy for the new home, as Brenninkmeijer had sent a shipping container across the Atlantic filled with their furniture, art, lighting, books, and objects from their previous home,"
Previous London flats featured industrious white walls and neutral palettes, while the Miami home embraces a whimsical sense of play with bold color, pattern, and texture. Inspiration came from vestiges of old Florida including the Bonnet House, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens, and Ernest Hemingway's Key West home. The aim focused on making the house beautiful and creating an environment where the family feels at ease that reflects their tastes and passions. Most furnishings and objects arrived in a shipping container from the previous home, supplemented by antiques collected through The Beaux Store. Blind faith and trusting her gut guided acquisitions without measurements.
