To make the tiny cottage feel more spacious, a tray ceiling was installed in the master bedroom and clerestory windows were added above the bed. The placement of the windows offers natural light without sacrificing privacy. The builder also raised the ceiling in the study to create an airy cathedral effect. Much like quarters on a boat, Donnan cleverly used every inch of the home to maximize the space. A closet was borrowed from the study to become a water closet in the renovated downstairs bath. Donnan also used an upstairs closet to create a shower stall in a second floor bath. To further conserve space, built-in storage cabinets and wardrobes were incorporated into the home. A small boat sink was also included as a space saver. Additional living space for the couple’s now grown sons is found in the refurbished basement. An open deck overlooking the cove offers seasonal living space.
