38 SUMMER 2019 vignettes nshoremag.com/nshorehome/ pop against walls of deep navy behind the desk and the built-in shelves around the TV, and tones of gray, sea- glass green, and blue in the furniture, throw pillows, and window seat valances fill out the color palette. There are also bold and eclectic choices that add personality and color, like the swivel chairs upholstered in a faded navy dot-patterned fabric. Crestin also loves items with a story, like the huge blue-green vintage bot- tles that she found at the Brimfield Flea Markets, which she and the homeowner converted into lamps for the console. "They bring this great, subtle, earthy sea-glassy color," she says. Those colors are also echoed in another Brimfield find, antique glass fishing floats that fill a basket on the coffee table, as well as a sea-glass light fixture hanging from the ceiling. Colorful, storied, and personal elements like these treasures and the barn paintings add style, interest, and personality to the space, truly making it a room for the entire family. And Crestin believes taking style risks always pays off. "There's not a 'Wow!' if you don't go for the wow," she says. For Resources, see page 106. Window seats with cushions, pillows and reading lights are perfect for curling up with a book. Below: There's space for the whole family to be themselves here.
