Imagine living in paradise…tropical breezes, ocean air, miles of pink sand, crystal clear turquoise waters and the rustle of palm trees outside your window…that dream is a reality for decorator David Flint Wood, his partner India Hicks and their four children…they have chosen to live out their fantasies on a small island in the Bahamas, and along the way, they have restored four houses, a hotel, and authored two books ~ Island Life, an interiors book published in 2003 followed by Island Beauty, a lifestyle fitness/beauty book authored by India and published in 2005…
Today’s post features King’s Treat, one of their island projects that required a complete overhaul…the house, originally built in 1890, is located on King Street in the historic part of Dunmore Town with views of the harbor, the sunset and the Fisherman’s Dock…once the grand home of a Harbour Island sea captain, it boosts a large walled garden with Veranda’s that are shaded by palm trees to the west, with an outdoor staircase and galleried terraces sheltered from the sun and the street by louvered panels…decorated with pieces from England, Africa, France, India, Egypt, Italy, China, Cuba and America, the house is a melting pot of cultures yet distinctly English…I can only imagine how lovely it must be to have breakfast on the terrace with thoughts of the day ahead…sweet dreams!
