A Client's Work/layout board ~ Colonial Style

I have just finished the initial design layout and proposal for the colonial house I am working on ...... we have gone with a very colonial feel with use of rattan furniture, date palm artwork and lamps with pineapple bases. Plenty of sisal rugs and lots of white linen with pink and green accents. We are going with some silver/grey colour palettes teamed with carrara or calcutta marble in the kitchen and main bathroom. All cabinetry will be floating as in "on legs" not going to the floor which also lends itself to a colonial feel. The house dates back to circa approx. 1890's/1900 so has the most amazing decorative architectural details and pressed metal ceilings.
We are looking at doing a poolhouse and my clients want it to be a self-contained guest house as well overlooking the pool. My clients love the Caribbean and especially the India Hicks look of "Island Life" and our climate here lends itself beautifully to this style ... think iced tea on the verandah!
