SUMMER 2019 45 white trim. "We love playing with different sheens," says McClure, "and also using a single, bold color against a neutral palette." The design team is heavily influenced by the South (they spend a lot of time in Raleigh, where their cousins have a de- sign business), and that is where they source a lot of antiques. The light and airy California style also serves as inspiration. "New England can be dreary and dismal several months of the year," says McClure. "We want you to feel happy in your home, since that's where you spend a lot of time." The white credenza by Peter Alexander and combination acrylic-and-glass dining table attest to their penchant for a "less is more" vibe and clean lines. "We didn't want the dining table to stop your eye from appreciating the beautiful furniture in the living room and the water views when you're standing in the kitchen," says McClure. "Our intention was to keep the room feeling light and somewhat minimalist." Peacefulness was a quality the homeowner sought. In contrast to the ocean-matching blues in the living area, the bedroom is a sanctuary cocooned in soft pinks. Luxurious velvet drapes are a blush that fades into a lighter shade in the trim color and pales even further on the ceiling. With plush carpet underfoot, blush-colored grass cloth on the walls, and damask bed linens, the overall impression is of layered textures that give depth to the room. "The homeowner wanted this space to be playful and sexy," says Skaletsky. "She's a girly girl who loves her shoes, pinks, and crystal." The juxtaposition of an elegant handcrafted M-Geough chair and a modern acrylic side table from The Martin Group gives the bedroom's reading nook a transitional flavor. "The sunlight bounces off the angles of the table and literally makes the bed's paisley upholstered headboard glimmer," observes McClure. One thing's for certain: Despite its location in New England, where the weather gods are fickle, this condominium's person- ality is sunny all the time.
