Turn to the right and walk into the entertaining spaces of the home, shiplap walls, custom mouldings, wood plank ceilings are all indicative of the outstanding craftsmanship used in building one of a kind custom home. Shiplap in these areas is currently stained for a traditional beach house look but could be painted to match the foyer. Both ways would be beautiful!
