Newport Shingle Style

When two busy corporate executives needed a place to escape and be together, conveniently located to entertain family and friends, they purchased a newly-built Newport shingle style, and chose taste to help them make it their own.

The personalization process touched every area of the home, including the creation of a paneled mahogany library with a fireplace – a space that was our client’s favorite room until the creation of a third-floor man cave that includes a working kitchen and a lifetime’s worth of Yankee’s memorabilia won that honor. Our most recent project is a tricked-out outdoor shower that perfectly blends with the architecture and craftmanship of the home and finishes the outdoor amenities.

Creating a home presents an opportunity to bond with the local community, and our clients actively embraced this. Many custom furnishings, finishes, and artworks were commissioned from area craftspeople and artists – truly unique touches that weave the homeowner’s aesthetic preferences beautifully into this sophisticated, comfortable retreat.

Lesson Learned from the Newport Shingle Style

Over the course of creating the Newport Shingle Style, our clients worked closely with every member of the taste team – an experience both sides found highly enjoyable. Working together creates real relationships and to this day, we’re pleased to call the Karen and Rich our friends.
