OPEN HOUSE
This North End vacation oasis stands tall along the dunes of Long Beach Island and enjoys breathtaking views of the Atlantic. The foundation for this interior design project emerged immediately for Ann D’Astugues and Sara Tool from The Red Chair Design in Harvey Cedars: the duo’s goal was to focus on the beauty of the natural coastal landscape and oceanfront aspect by choosing a crisp semi-neutral palette with custom furnishings, lighting, and window treatments that complement the view instead of competing with it. They wanted to integrate that serene feeling of waves rolling in as part of a comfortable interior atmosphere. Lighting was a key feature in the rooms, like the Niche Stamen Pendants—hand blown in upstate New York—now illuminating the kitchen. The hanging lights in the powder room and master sitting area were carefully chosen to coordinate with all of the sconces and additional lighting throughout the house. A nine-pendant chandelier will soon be installed over the amazing custom staircase.
