The winner, a 6,500-sq.-foot four bed room, “classic shingled cottage” (with a 3,500-square-foot guesthouse) was chosen for its tranquil and expansive water sights, with the bonus of quick access to his boat.
Ms. Frampton experienced just six months to structure and install the interiors, as he was expecting guests for Memorial Day. She strike the deadline by focusing on “cosmetic” renovations and by sourcing items with short or no direct instances. In the dwelling home, she devised a color palette of mainly mild grey and sand punctuated by yellow. “During the day the water is the star of the house, but at night time you never see the water” she explained. “At night, the artwork is the star.”
