Host Joan Kohn visits the
master suite of Jim and Christine Kelsey’s getaway
retreat, a shingle-style home they designed from
scratch. Designer Michelle Shields helped them
create a personal and inviting master suite with
traditional architectural details that makes a
beautiful showcase for treasured family antiques.
A bump out in the back wall
provides an inviting sitting area that is the
room’s focal point.

A soft color palette and family
antiques make the master bedroom inviting and
comfortable.
|
Twin vanities each have their own
distinctive
mirror.

- A blue and white trellis rug set the color
scheme for the bedroom. The pale, creamy white
walls are paired with textiles in a blue and
white check and toile patterns. Mahogany
antiques stand out against the cool background
and provide a warm, inviting feel to the
room.
- Shelves and hanging rods maximize storage in
a narrow walk-in-closet.
- The cozy sitting area, which overlooks the
back of the property, is furnished with two
comfortable rocking chairs, a bookshelf and a
coffee table.
- Casement windows were chosen for the entire
house because of their easy operation and
horizontal design presence.
- The bathroom footprint is long and narrow.
The vanities are located on opposite sides of
the room. They use stock cabinetry with
interesting pulls and are topped with rich slabs
of mahogany and white porcelain sinks. Each
vanity has its own distinctive mirror.
- The fiberglass shower stall is located in
the center of the room. The toilet is tucked
behind a half wall. Cream and white striped
walls adds to the traditional feel. The floor is
simple white tile.
