夏日情缘：一个历史悠久、感觉良好的楠塔基特家

It is good to have lifelong friends. 如果你最亲密的人不把你的最大利益放在心上，那就更好了, but an ear to the ground. That’s how a family from Ohio, who had vacationed in Nantucket every summer since 2002, 来这里实现他们长久以来的梦想，在那里拥有一套房子. When Robert Deuberry, a builder with his own Nantucket home, 听说历史街区一座19世纪船长的房子可能是他们的, they swiftly put down roots on the island, their “ultimate happy place.” 

寻找理想的室内设计师装修和任命他们的新发现, 四层楼的宝藏是他们自己首创的结果. The homeowners found the inspired coastal designs of Donna Elle Design on a Pinterest search, 并很快与当地设计师建立了另一种互利且有意义的关系 Donna Elle.

Elle, pictured above, and her daughter and associate Katie Williams, 谁在2015年加入了这家公司，她的简历与她令人印象深刻的出身相符, were instantly enchanted by the homeowner and her style. The wife and mother of four has an innate effervescence, they explain, 以及“非常乐观的快乐性格”,” adds Williams.

They found her design vision to be just as exuberant. She prefers fun over fussy, 热爱色彩，希望能提炼和表达她的旺盛生命力, active family, which is constantly moving in different directions. Elle, 她有第六感，能感应到客户的情绪, immediately interpreted the look she was after.

Williams sourced a blue damask rug with an open, coastal pattern to ground the finer prints of the space, Elle用牡蛎壳装饰了一盏枝形吊灯.

Within days of signing on, Elle研究了俄亥俄州半岛建筑师事务所（Peninsula Architects of Ohio）设计的建筑方案. 她“着迷于解决传统的墙板和装饰细节的机会，通过设计真正强调客户的气场,” she recalls, creating “a wholly personalized, tailor-made interior.”

Ricciardi Marble & Granite finished the marble, and Boston Stone Restoration applied an epoxy “that makes it foolproof.右图：小岛和早餐角展示了《365体育官网客户端》对蓝色海军蓝的毫不掩饰的热爱，你可以潜入其中, 矢车菊和天空，而罗马阴影则展示了《365体育官网客户端》在窗户装饰方面的成功之处.

Elle从她的首选供应商那里搜罗了一大批纺织品，比如 Schumacher, Cowtan & Tout, Quadrille, Studio 534 and Merida Rugs—back in her studio, 她热情地创作了房间示意图和配色方案，这体现了她巧妙的设计执行的核心. 客户给予了热情的认可和完全的信任, and the nine-month project, which had already taken on an energy of its own, had begun.

The renovation went deeper than the surface selections. Initially, 设计的目的是保持住宅的大部分内部元素, 但是需要进行大量的结构修复. In order to preserve the home’s historic character, Deuberry, who oversaw the construction on the project, 将原有的有200年历史的框架和地板运往俄亥俄州, 在那里，它们被著名的阿米什工匠剥去并重新加工，重新制成地板, wall paneling, cabinetry, built-ins and fireplace mantels.

考虑到建筑师和建造者主要在俄亥俄州的办公室工作, Elle found herself in a secondary leadership role, 作为他们的联络人，并与建筑师和木匠Junior Froes一起促进日常运营. She relished it. “The architects, 建筑商和分包商都指望《365体育官网客户端》来指导决策,” Williams explains. Elle had become the project’s compass and translator, 并确保客户的愿景得以实现.

由于这块飞地的历史民居紧密相连, Elle设计的户外腈纶定制窗帘挂在门廊上，以保护隐私.

The result is a “symphony,” says Elle, 一个充满“花样游戏”和“紧张感”的快乐的家,” albeit stress-free, between past and present. 每个房间都是独特的，并处理到高水平的细节. The window treatments alone, with their trims, fringes, borders and drapery pulls, put the designers in another league, 而事实上，他们在南塔开特的零售商那里购买了大部分家具, 口音和必需品只会增加Elle所说的“快乐项目”.”

With its big, bold use of color and cheerful composition, 这座房子及其令人兴奋的氛围重新定义了沿海的室内设计. The client deserves much of the credit, however, asserts the mother-daughter team, 让Elle以一种创造性和无限的方式执行她的手艺. Not unlike Nantucket itself, that freedom created magic.
