Left: The main-level primary bedroom features a channeled gray velvet
headboard from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. Bottom left and right: In the
two primary baths, 24-inch Calacatta marble tiles surround a slipper tub
situated beneath a stunning chandelier-Waterford crystal in the first-floor
setting and in the other, with 24-by-48-inch porcelain tiles, a modern
Sputnik-style light contrasts beautifully.
thin wood veneer geometric shapes that capture and reflect light
beautifully. To give the quiet-hued room a pop of color, they selected
a painting from Robin Reynolds, whose exuberantly hued
plein-air paintings also appear elsewhere in the house.
On the other side of the entry, the smaller music room echoes
the dining room's simple but upscale presence, with only a baby
grand piano beneath a glimmering chandelier. The Sandhus'
daughter, an accomplished pianist, plays here when she's home
from college.
At the top of the main staircase, whose cladding of panels
and molding give it a New England character, a cozy seating
area beckons, its furnishings from Sherrill Furniture arranged
on a contemporary abstract bamboo silk carpet from India and a
commissioned Dana Boucher landscape painting. Similarly, the
navy and white first-floor library is a comfortable retreat, with
walls sheathed in gray Thibault grass cloth, Company C chairs
and floor to ceiling built-in bookcases straddling a cushioned
window seat, one of several in the house. Capital Kitchen and
Bath built all of the home's bookcases and window seats.
In Michael's spacious office, Shakra wanted to surround the
former merchant marine with things that were meaningful to
him, like maritime memorabilia and artwork that references his
love of sailing. Custom cabinetry houses file cabinets and a fax
machine, leaving the rest of the room to be a sanctuary that's
pleasing to the eye and sometimes doubles as a family gathering
space to watch movies. But the favorite place for the family to
come together and relax is in the ground-level space with its 150inch
projector screen and stylish bar designed by Shakra after
one she saw in New York City.
" We were quite happy in our old house, " says Michael of the
1980s-era abode they'd called home for 25 years. " We weren't
looking to change things; we were thrown into it. We're fortunate
that we connected with really good people and that they were so
good throughout the whole process. " NHH
