Come with us on a tour of the Little Compton, RI renovation of Dara and Dan Brewster's 1930's summer cottage.
Roses climb on the porticoed main entrance, which opens into the kitchen and offers views clear out to the ocean.
The living room has its original wood paneling and floor.
A painting by Syrian artist Hasko Hasko, purchased on Dan and Dara’s 2011 trip to Syria, which coincided with the war breaking out–and inspired them to help preserve endangered cultural patrimonies.
Designed in collaboration with Greg Crozier, the compact kitchen, shown here, has a Sub Zero glass-doored fridge, Fisher Pakel dishwasher drawers, and floorboards made from beams that came out of a nearby Fall River textile mill.
The master bedroom in the airy attic has its original exposed rafters, beadboard paneling, and built-in drawers.
The windows offer a prime ocean view.
All the bed linens are from Matouk, a third-generation family-owned company in Fall River, Massachusetts.
The main bedroom’s paneled door has Shaker peg rail hung with scarves from Gautemala and India.
The remodeled second-floor bathroom has a refurbished clawfoot tub and new paneling.
