Upstairs, Lucy made an exception to her rule and painted some of the pine white to brighten the primary bedroom that sits in the apex of the A-frame. She also took Gregory’s suggestion to create a larger window with a built-in seat. “The bedroom had no light in it. It was just a dark cave,” she recalls, adding that the crisp look is a refreshing departure from the warmth of the lower level.
With Gregory’s direction, Lucy expanded the cramped en suite, which she outfitted with charcoal penny tile floors, a soapstone vanity, a vintage mirror, and a white subway tile shower with a natural linen curtain. “We were able to carve a really useful, functional bathroom out of a very tight, limited space,” he says. “And it actually came out quite charming.” It most certainly did.
