"This house was built by Joe D'Urso, my mentor, so it was both very exciting and intimidating to work on its interior design. My clients decided that they didn't want the interiors to have a lot of bright colors, but they wanted the furniture and fabrics to soften the space and to make it comfortable and inviting. When you have a view of the ocean like this house does, you don't want the interiors to compete with that." — Joe Nahem
