Gulf Breeze Bay Estate
Location: Gulf Breeze, Florida
Service: Full Home Renovation & Interior Design
Project Brief
Tucked along a winding, tree-lined drive on Pensacola Bay, this waterfront home is a refined retreat that blends legacy with modern sophistication. Designed for a longtime friend and client with a love of art, fashion, and travel, the project reimagined every detail with warmth and intention. Inspired by hand-selected vintage Turkish rugs, Joy layered soft blues, neutral tones, and organic textures to create a space that feels collected and deeply personal. The result is a serene, masculine home that balances elegance, comfort, and quiet coastal beauty.
Project Highlights
Waterfront Home Renovation: Reimagined interiors with updated lighting, cabinetry, and custom finishes throughout.
Refined Masculine Palette: Neutral foundation accented with soft blues, layered textures, and timeless materials.
Personalized Design Details: Inspired by vintage Turkish rugs and meaningful, collected art pieces.
Client Testimonial
“Joy Hodges complete redesign of my home was nothing short of fantastic.”
“She brought incredible energy and enthusiasm to the project, start to finish. She cared very much about every detail and never settled for “good enough.” Joy pulled together paint, flooring, furniture, lighting, and artwork into a cohesive and beautiful home that exceeded my expectations. Further, she made the process enjoyable and was always attentive and genuinely invested in making sure the final result was just right. I wholeheartedly recommend Joy Hodges to anyone seeking a designer who combines creativity, imagination, and a dedication to her clients. She completely transformed my home and I couldn’t be happier with the result and with her. “
