Kudos to interior design client, Jennifer Coles of Coles Color and Design, for the beautiful Manchester-by-the-Sea home featured in the current issue of Northshore Home Magazine. Jennifer's clients purchased a new farmhouse-style home, valuing its practical layout and proximity to the beach. The home was a spec house with high-end but overly traditional finishes, prompting them to bring in their own design style with a focus on sustainability. They added landscaping, a pool, and an orchard to enhance the property’s privacy.

Inside, Jennifer worked with the homeowners to update the house’s elements without losing its quality. They embraced a minimalist yet warm aesthetic, incorporating family artwork and meaningful objects into the décor. The bathrooms were extensively renovated, featuring sustainable materials like Fireclay Tile. Overall, the renovations created a space that feels like home, blending the couple's tastes with the existing design. Photography by Joyelle West.
