The downstairs of Whale’s Watch project is an oasis of its own, giving the children free rein. “It’s what I would want if I were them,” the homeowner says. The boy’s room is designed like the interior of a boat with a cabin style bed and adjacent bunk beds. A traditional bead board wainscoting wraps the room and pops against the deep navy.

Just next door, the girl’s room is pretty in pink. A dressing area with a wall mirror and ballet bar is perfectly accented by beautiful rock crystal sconces.

The art room sits directly below the ladies’ lounge, and is wrapped in a bay of windows facing the sea. The nautical blue palette continues, with an upholstered window seat large enough to seat a small party. The eye-catching and one of a kind chandelier is the highlight of the room. Accented with hand-painted watercolor sailboats from local Maine artist, Brad Betts, a few shades were left blank so the young resident artists can add their own touch over time.

Beyond the art room is a door that leads to the outside shower. This unique feature provides a place for family and friends to rinse off after playing on the beach. The shower floor is a combination of granite and river rock, with small glass bubble tiles dispersed randomly throughout.
