Bejewel and bedazzle was the mantra that Janie Molster and her partner, Kate Stikeleather, kept in mind while designing this sprawling family compound on Floridas Captiva Island. The multigenerational beach getaway was still in the preconstruction phase when the owners reached out to Molster, asking her to turn their dream into a reality. Theyd seen another one of her Florida projects on a magazine cover at the airport. It avoided the typical coastal clichs and instead leaned into something more sophisticated and eclecticexactly what they wanted. Over four years, Molster and Stikeleather perfected the design. At one point, a hurricane made the island inaccessible, and they had to push back the install date by months to allow for repairs. Ultimately, they nailed it. Is it midcentury modern? Is it groovy 1970s? Is it uber-contemporary Miami? Molster asks of the end result. The answer: all of the above and beyond.FAST FACTSDesigner: Location: The Space:We were tasked from the get-go to make it fun, and not really hold back with regard to color.GREAT ROOMA gathering place filled with tropical hues.
