ith the rise of home improvement shows highlighting major transformations of spaces in homes ranging from simple 

refreshes to full-on gut jobs that take things down to the studs, everyone loves a good Before and After. But it takes a 

trained eye to see the potential in a home and envision what it might become with the perfect mix of finishes and a color 

palette that takes advantage of things like dimension, angle, and lighting, combined with accents of texture and shape 

and shine. It takes a visionary mind to see past the outdated and dilapidated and picture beauty that could be unearthed with a little bit 

of work, and that’s precisely when the team at isidro dunbar MODERN INTERIORS are at their best.

Owned by Todd Dunbar Reeves and Jorge Isidro Saiz, isidro dunbar MODERN INTERIORS—or idMI, as it’s more readily 

known—is a modern furniture showroom and interior design firm based in Destin whose aesthetic is boldly sleek and distinctly 

contemporary, offering a wide range of furniture lines and finishes that bring a fresh, clean look into any space. There’s a minimalism 

there that balances design with function, still managing to provide the necessary sense of livability that doesn’t hold one at arm’s length 

but rather seems to exude touchable luxury. Translating modernism into each of their interior design projects, Saiz and Reeves have 

gained an impressive reputation for their work throughout the area, and clients come to them knowing that they will give them a stylish 

home that is chic, refined, and truly one of a kind.
