WEEKEND LIVING
“This isn’t your typical woodsy cottage bunkie. It’s more of a nod to Hamptons beach style”
WATER COLOURS James shares the rationale behind his paint picks.
Grasscloth wallpaper highlights the loft’s pitched ceiling
CROWN MOULDING & TRIM Yarmouth Blue (HC-150), Benjamin Moore. “The perfect combination of blue and grey.”
LOFTY SLEEPING QUARTERS
CABINETS Stratton Blue (HC-142), Benjamin Moore. “This gentle aquamarine resembles the colour of the sea, in my opinion.”
James designed a ladder and rope railing to give access to the second floor. With one full and two twin beds in the loft, and a pullout sofa on the main floor, the bunkie can sleep six. Trunk, eBay; rope, Knot & Rope Supply; wallpaper, Phillip Jeffries; railing construction, Ken Zeggil Construction.
PANELLING Hollingsworth Green (HC-141), Benjamin Moore. “A light green that’s warm and doesn’t venture into mint territory.” PINT-SIZE POWDER ROOM James generally prefers swing doors, but with space at a premium, a pocket door made the most sense here. Painting it a darker blue than the trim is an unexpected designer touch. Flooring, The Floor Shop; mirror, eBay; sconce, Rejuvenation.
POCKET DOOR Jamestown Blue (HC-148), Benjamin Moore. “I love using this bold Colonial blue on doors.” 46 H&H AUGUST 2017
