For example, the essence of old Cha-
tham is conjured by the use of wide
pine attic flooring saved from antique
houses prior to demolition. Doug says,
“Attic floors have very little traffic and
no finish which makes them ideal and
highly sought-after. These were also
exceptionally long and wide boards,
which allowed for continuity from the
great room through to the family room,
office, and master bedroom. We sealed
the floors but did not sand or stain
them, so the original patina is intact.”
The ceiling with antique beams was
designed to create a barn-like feeling.
The dormers and French doors add to
the expansive light and water views.
“The clients have a love of antique
light fixtures,” Doug says. “Nearly
every light in the house is an antique
and exquisite.”
“The three sets of French doors bring the
seaside to you in this comfy, cozy room— with
plenty of space to enjoy it with family and
friends,” says Craig Tevolitz, interior designer.
