After more than 15 years in Connecticut raising their two children, Sandy and Paul Fredette decided to return home to their roots in Rhode Island. It just so happened that the first house that the couple looked at was “the one,” and they quickly put in an offer to the three-bedroom, four bath condominium perched on the 12th hole of the greens at Quidnessett Country Club in North Kingstown.
Wanting her new space to be de-cluttered and more comfortable as fast as possible, Sandy contacted Tara Mernick of re:design RI in East Greenwich, who then asked her sister-in-law Lee Chartier of Inside Style to assist in the project. The match was perfect. Lee and Tara listened to Sandy but also pushed her out of her comfort zone.
The condo has an open floor plan with very high, cathedral ceilings and offers a lot of natural light. The walls were brightened with a light and neutral color palette with varying accents, textures and treatments to distinguish areas, creating a muted but warm atmosphere. They chose a grass cloth for the foyer which matches the color of the great room walls and used torn paper finish on the dining room ceiling to complement the color and add more texture.
Due to being located on the greens, the team devised a stylish window treatment of subtly hued, remote-controlled woven shades that added privacy while still maintaining the natural light. After completing the design by incorporating some antique family pieces, the finished space is not only beautiful but a perfect lifestyle fit.
