12 SPRING 2016 Interior designer Peter Cohen's media room in his Federal-style home in Salem PHOTOGRAPH BY N EI L A. LAN DI NO, JR Nancy Berry, Editor nberry@nshoremag.com W E MADE IT THROUGH THE NEW ENGLAND winter and now it's time to welcome spring and summer by taking out the gar- dening tools, outdoor grill, and patio furniture. It's also a great time to freshen up our interiors with new colors, fabrics, and accessories. This issue of Northshore Home offers design inspiration and ideas from a number of talented regional designers, architects, and tastemakers who turn houses into works of art. I would first like to welcome Peter Cohen to the North Shore's interior design scene. After living on the West Coast for a number of years, he and his partner, Martin Lieberman, found the perfect house in which to settle down in Salem (page 90). The couple restored the Federal-style structure built in 1817—including re-glaz- ing its original 44 windows. The house's high ceilings, original moldings, and Victorian-era mantel additions became the ideal backdrop for a gallery-like environ- ment that shows off the couple's extensive art collec- tion as well as Cohen's own metal sculptures. We also visit the home of designer and home décor shop owner Lisa Duffy (page 106). After a devastating house fire at her North Andover home, Duffy and her family moved to Prides Crossing, where she has cre- ated a home filled with wonderful treasures from her travels. The décor has grown organically and is awash in creams, grays, greens, and blues. Carpenter & MacNeille designed OakLedge, a Shin- gle-style house on a stone outcropping in Manchester- by-the-Sea (page 98). Its custom millwork, eyebrow dormers, and decorative shingle patterns create a coastal cottage reflective of the 1880s style. Although the exterior pays homage to the past, the property also offers amenities of 21st-century living, which include both geothermal and solar array systems. We also get outdoors in this issue to explore a Mar- blehead garden with a profusion of hollyhocks (page 29), a private pond and garden in Beverly Farms (page 34), and a dynamic pool house designed by Kristina Crestin (page 151). We hope this issue inspires you in your own home design projects! P.S. For a full set of resources for the projects in this is- sue, please visit nshoremag.com/nshorehome/resources/.
