“It’s all those elements that just make it feel like we didn’t buy a room of furniture and plop it in there,” Duffy says. “Nothing feels like it was necessarily planned, but you know there was attention to every detail,” Duffy says.Īmong those details are organic touches that draw the beauty of the natural world inside, like a glass-topped driftwood end table in the living room accents of coral and seaglass a chandelier that combines crystal beads and natural hemp rope, and another made of oyster shells and whitewashed, cracked natural tree stumps that can double as stools or end tables. It’s a space that feels effortless and unstudied but still elegant and polished. The resulting design is bright and airy, with lots of whites, grays, and taupes to emphasize the natural light that pours into the home through its many windows and even entire walls of glass. “Because there is a lot of natural light, anything too glossy, too polished, too chromey would have felt overdone for this house.” “They wanted it chic and sophisticated, but they didn’t want anything dressy,” Duffy says. When that dream became a reality with Newburyport-based Bourque Quality Homes, they enlisted Duffy to lend her signature clean, organic aesthetic to their newly built three-story shingle-style home in Salisbury. And when that designer is Lisa Duffy, owner, creative director, and lead designer at Andover-based Savoir Faire Home, you can be sure that everything else about the home’s décor will also exemplify easy, beautiful waterfront living.ĭuffy’s clients were a low-key couple who’d always dreamed of building a waterfront home. When your home is so close to a shimmering river that your yard includes a dock, there’s only one thing for a designer to do: Make sure everything emphasizes that gorgeous view.
