Inspired by the beach setting, designer Anne Hepfer revitalizes a dated Florida condo getting away from it all isn’t always that easy. The owners of this 1,300-square-foot condo in Vero Beach, Florida wanted a setting to inspire a vacation mindset. The blended family, with grown children, lives in Toronto but often makes the trip south.

The agenda given to interior designer Anne Hepfer was an inspiring one: Make it fresh and fun, not too serious. That isn’t as simple as it sounds when you take into consideration the state the condo was in when it was purchased in 2011. The two-bedroom, two-bathroom unit was a time capsule from the early ’80s, wood panelling and all.
