The Hamptons Come to Cape Cod: Salt House Inn in Provincetown - Remodelista
Photographs via Salt House Inn, except where noted. Provincetown, located at the tip of Cape Cod, has always been a bit scruffy (in a good way). Located in a 19th century building, which once housed the island’s salt-mine workers, the B & B was completely overhauled by O’Shea (a Starwood Hotels interior designer) and David Bowd (C.O.O. of Andre Balazs properties). Salt House Inn is housed in a traditional New England cedar-shingled building that dates to the 19th century. The check-in desk with shiplap paneled walls. The suites feature cathedral ceilings with exposed wooden beams and claw-foot tubs. The shiplap paneling continues in the guest rooms; in this one, rusted pulleys serve as wall art. With its bright white interiors, the hotel has a feel of Cape Cod beach cottage gone modern. A vintage lamp illuminates a corner. Whimsical curiosities are hung on the bedroom walls, all found at New England antiques shops. A seating area in one of the bedrooms with a display of red oil lanterns. The bathrooms are tiled in white with gray grout, and the walls are half painted in gray and white. Breakfast is prepared by co-owner O’Shea and served at a communal table. The daily menu and weather forecast are written on a black chalkboard. Guests can enjoy the outdoor terrace during the summer months. And if you like white-painted paneling, our post Expert Advice: The Enduring Appeal of Shiplap is worth a read.
