Host Joan Kohn visits the
beachfront home of Maureen and Steve Quill.
Originally a lodge, the home’s choppy floor plan
was shifted to combine smaller rooms into fewer,
larger rooms. Designer Olivia Sanderson used two
bedrooms, a bath and a fire escape to create the
new second floor master suite, which runs the
entire width of the house.
The cottage-style bedroom uses a
fresh blue and white color scheme but relies on
ocean views for a focal point.

Rubbed blue cabinetry and an
English style pedestal sink carry the cottage
look into the
bath.

- A casual cottage style was chosen for the
master suite. White walls with beadboard
wainscoting, whitewashed wood furniture, lightly
stained pine flooring and hooked area rugs set
the light and airy tone. Stars adorn the sheer
white curtains and comfortable upholstered
chairs, while shells are scattered on the area
rug. Blue accents, reminiscent of the sea, add
punch.
- Two small windows were removed and an entire
side wall of windows was installed, finished at
one end with patio doors leading to the deck and
ocean views.
- A former fire escape was transformed into
the seating area with an octagonal shape,
vaulted ceiling and hot air balloon
chandelier.
- Pine flooring was left uncarpeted for ease
of maintenance. Area rugs are easily cleaned of
sand.
- A second seating area at one end of the room
doubles as a dressing space in front of the
closets. It features comfortable chairs and a
dressing table.
- The bathroom was formerly a small bedroom.
It features an English pedestal sink, a
fiberglass tub unit, nonskid ceramic flooring
and a rubbed blue finish on the wood cabinetry.
Narrow beadboard is used for the
wainscoting.
