Perched along the iconic shores of Grayton Beach, The Washaway House is a historic coastal cottage dating back to 1895. Renowned for its resilience against the elements, this cherished home has stood as a testament to the area's rich heritage.

In 2023, Owen Group Interiors was engaged by a longtime client to undertake a subtle refresh of this beloved residence. The firm's scope focused on preserving the home's historic character while introducing thoughtful updates to enhance comfort and functionality. Key contributions included selecting a new exterior paint color, assisting with the remodeling of the kitchen to improve storage and appliance placement, and updating interior elements such as drapes, shades, lighting fixtures, and furnishings in select areas. Additionally, the team provided guidance on outdoor furniture selections to complement the home's coastal setting.

This light-touch approach ensured that The Washaway House retained its storied past while subtly integrating modern conveniences, allowing it to continue serving as a cherished retreat for generations to come.
