THE master suite is spa-cious
and minimally
furnished, with small
notes of ocean blue and
green reminiscent of the nearby
beaches. A walk-through master
closet opens to an office nook
brightly lit by corner windows.
The master bath is built for relax-ation
and is one of Millar’s favor-ite
spots in the house. Enclosed
in glass and tiled floor to ceil-ing
are a luxurious shower and
Japanese-style soaking tub.
Things were pretty far along
when Jabaley approached the
homeowners with an idea: with
some small adjustments, the attic
could become functional living
space. He showed Bates and
Millar a sketch, and they said,
“Go for it!” The staircase was
extended and a dormer added
to create an additional bedroom
and bathroom. Beadboard panel-ing
gives the room its own dis-tinct
feel.
On the second floor the guest
room features paintings collected
on various journeys, and bedside
tables found while antiquing
years ago. Pieces are slowly being
brought down from the home-owners’
New York City apart-ment,
with selections that fit the
bright, relaxing atmosphere of
their coastal retreat. Bates and
Millar don’t anticipate ever call-ing
the house finished. “Houses
are never done, always evolving,”
says Bates, who notes he’s been
working with some of the same
interior design clients for decades.
Guest rooms in whites, grays, and
muted greens invite friends and
family to relax and rest. A soaking
tub adds a touch of luxury to the
master bath.
