Maureen Neville, also of Treehouse, to design the interior spaces. Longleaf Lumber
supplied salvaged wood for the fieldstone
fireplace's rustic mantel, wood flooring,
and many custom headboards for the
bedrooms. "Many of the bedrooms have
French doors that open to the secondstory deck," notes Thurman.
Interior features include extensive
traditional interior woodwork. Thurman relied on nautical features, such as
built-in bunk beds, desks, dressers, and
wardrobes, to add character and charm to
the spaces. "We designed and built all the
cabinetry at Treehouse," notes Thurman.
Along with a relaxed open floor plan,
Thurman offered practical touches such
as a mudroom that doubles as a laundry
room and the quintessential outdoor
shower. The color scheme throughout
reflects the ocean hues in sea foam
greens and deep blues. White vertical
board can be found in the children's bath
along with touches such as a deep vintage
porcelain sink and cobalt blue glass tiles
that reflect the sea. It's these whimsical
touches throughout the house that make
it so special. The subtle nautical theme
throughout the interiors is just enough to
give you the hint of the sea. The house becomes a backdrop to the deep blue water
of Sandy Bay beyond, and a true summer
fun house for the young family to enjoy.
