Stanley Furniture and Coastal Living magazine, the popular shelter publication and authority on all things coastal, announced that they have teamed up once again - this time to furnish the 2009 Seawatch Idea House. Nestled deep in the community of Seawatch at Sunset Harbor, this yearʼs Coastal Living Idea House is situated on a bluff overlooking Mercer Mill Creek and wildlife preserves in the Southport, N.C. area. The original Cape design spans more than 6,000 square feet and includes distinctive architectural features like a sleeping porch, an outdoor kitchen and a kayak storage room.
Coastal Living Idea Houses are nationally recognized by the magazineʼs three million readers as the best designed, constructed and decorated homes in the country. These homes represent the newest coastal trends - from architectural elements to building products to home design.
“Coastal Living approached us early in the year about participating in the Seawatch Idea House,” said Glenn Prillaman, President and COO of Stanley Furniture. “Needless to say, we were enthusiastic about showcasing our product against such a beautiful and inspirational backdrop.” More than 20 pieces of furniture from a variety of Stanley Furniture collections were used to furnish the Idea House. “We were excited to partner with Stanley Furniture on the Seawatch Idea House,” said Nicole Hendrick, Coastal Livingʼs Idea Home Manager. “Including the Coastal Living collection, Stanley Furnitureʼs array of residential case goods provided our team with so many unique design possibilities and style selections.”
Completed just before Labor Day, the Seawatch Idea House is featured in the November issue of Coastal Living magazine along with a pictorial spread highlighting Stanley Furniture and other contributing sponsors.
“Our relationship with Coastal Living - the magazine and the brand - continues to flourish and expand into new directions,” added Prillaman. “This house proves that Stanley Furniture and Coastal Living continue to make a great team.”
