This house on Penobscot Bay, designed by architect Peter Pennoyer, takes advantage of spectacular ocean views and natural setting. It is also well situated for viewing sailing events that take place in the boating channel before it.

The double height paneled entrance hall has a round mahogany table centered on a large patterned Hamadan carpet. A collection of antique Chinese porcelain jars compliment the colors in the rug.

The rear entry hall provides a less formal entrance. The walls are covered in a combination of blue grasscloth and "Butterfly Chintz" wallpaper. The client's collection of framed kimono stencils are hung along the wall of the staircase.

The upper story of the stair hall shows the continuation of the grasscloth and wallpaper. The color of the doors, trims, and stair railings is derived from the wallpaper.

The color scheme of the living room was in large part derived from the needlepoint carpet and with care not to overpower the views of Penobscot Bay.

The focus of the livingroom, with its array of comfortable seating, is the expansive view.

The dining room features a large bay window with a set of custom curved benches to follow the arc of the curve. The blue glass candelabras are from the clients' collection of antique colored glass.

The opposite side of the dining room has a quieter decorative treatment to balance the dramatic views from the bay window.

In contrast to the other rooms in the house, the library is an introspective space. The blue used on the paneling was a color popular in 18th century Georgian homes and is complimented by red linen curtains set in window pockets.The colors are repeated in the Tabriz carpet which was designed for the room.

Glass shelves in the windows display the clients' collection of colored glass. The chairs are reproductions of 18th century New England forms.

The sitting room is an assemblage of decorative elements including a Victorian stained glass lantern, Persian Karabagh carpet, and "Anthemion" frieze border applied under the ceiling moldings.

An alcove in the master bedroom has paneling based on 19th century Shingle Style examples.

The master bathroom features a floral print wallpaper on the ceiling, an antique hooked rug, and extraordinary views of the bay.

A guest bedroom has a block printed pagoda patterned wallpaper.The blue in the paper is complimented by blue serge curtains and upholstery and small Asian carpets.

A mud room off of the entry has blue painted floors, tomato colored beadboard walls, and a needlepoint carpet.

The first floor powder room has a mural by Anne Harris based on paintings by Fitz Hugh Lane.

A large, wrap around porch provides an alternative living and dining space. Its decoration is quiet to allow the views to be the object of focus. The furniture is painted a shade of blue found in the clients' collection of glass,
