ed to bring in different pieces from her
travels. You can see that love throughout
the house as each room, each sitting area,
each bedroom has its own “theme”. She
has carefully taken the time to think out
every inch of space all the way down
to the door knobs. She saw some in a
magazine she just HAD to have and now
they are on every door in the house. It’s
the little touches like that you definitely
can’t miss in this luxury love nest. Elaine
wanted every room to be a special place
she and Bill can spend quality time
together.
One of the most prominent features of
the home are the expansive views into
the backyard and across the lake from all
of the rooms in the house. New doors,
floors and now windows were installed
across the back to bring the outside in,
specifically from the kitchen area. Elaine
and Bill want to be able to walk from
the kitchen to the outside... into a spacious and inviting space to enjoy summer
afternoons or cool winter evenings. Outdoor lighting has been added to create a
dramatic after dark look.
The massive entrance way gives and
new meaning to a “grand entrance” with
custom wood, custom doors, custom
door knobs. It’s all in the details for
Elaine who loves recycling old furniture
and turning it into new. The chandelier
inside was given a new lease on life
by one of Elaine’s favorite local artists,
David Walker. Elaine and Bill’s new home
definitely has that WOW factor from the
moment you walk up to the front door.
The master bathroom and bedroom is
now fit for a King... and was designed
by a Queen, of course. It is simple yet elegant and organized - exactly what Elaine
envisioned.
Elaine Caldwell owns and runs
Luxury For Less in Ponte Vedra. The part
consignment, part new furniture store
recently opened in a more prominent
location on A1A in Ponte Vedra. Elaine
spends much of her time refurbishing,
re-designing and re-decorating homes
all around the area. She’s known for
her simple yet chic style as well as her
impeccable taste for finding finer furnishings - for less. Elaine hand-picked pieces
consigned in her store and ordered new,
modern beach chic decor from some
of her favorite vendors to complete her
dream home. She shares monthly updates with her fans on Facebook and on
her blog.
Oh wait! One more thing we almost forgot to mention. The jewel of
the house, literally. No home could be
complete without the perfect pet. Jules
Caldwell II just recently joined the family
and is loving his new home!

real reason we do all this. Wolfson Children’s Hospital treats approximately 100,000
children a year and never turns any child
away, regardless of ability to pay. The Women’s Board is in the third of a five year, $4
million pledge for the creation of a Pediatric
Surgery Center of Distinction. The center
will enable a highly skilled surgical staff to
advance surgical techniques, expand the
use of minimally invasive and robotic surgery and help Wolfson meet the needs of
child trauma patients. One trip to Wolfson
Children’s Hospital is all it takes to realize
the incredible importance of our cause. We
are proud to support Wolfson and honored
to have your partnership with us.
