Step Inside the Pacific Northwest Island Home of Two Winemakers

Interior designer Heidi Caillier needed little direction on a new guesthouse project on Fox Island in Washington state. Caillier had already worked with the clients twice before, creating interiors for the young couple’s forever home on the property—a hilly tract with gorgeous views of the Puget Sound—and conceiving a luxe tasting room in Tacoma, Washington, to expand their family’s thriving wine business.
“They have always been wonderful clients,” Caillier says. “But after the first installation, they really began to trust me and give me free rein.” Design guardrails down, Caillier revved up dramatic elements that would have shocked less adventurous owners: A brooding all-black kitchen, mismatched artisan bath tiles, and discordant florals and plaids that somehow blend into balance.
“In this little space, you can go really bold,” one of the homeowners says. “Heidi was trying to find things that we maybe didn’t get to do in the main house where it would have felt like too much. We wanted a showstopper here, and she came through 100%.”
