“Our firm was asked to design this living room for the Bar Harbor Designer Showhouse at LaRochelle, a benefit for the Bar Harbor Historical Society. The color palette was inspired by the dramatic backdrop of the sea and Acadia National Park, as well as the Beatrix Ferrand–designed garden outside the windows. In addition, since the coastal mansion had once been owned by the Campbell Soup family, we accented the soft, comfortable white-linen summer slipcovers and the soothing blues and greens with the coral of cream of tomato soup. Like the room, Anne Ireland’s paintings are a juxtaposition of classic and contemporary.”

“When I walked into this space, which was a three-room attic, I visualized how it could be transformed into an open loft with rustic wood beams and a contemporary, cathedral-like feel. We raised the ceilings from seven to 13 feet, and the dramatic result of the project, which is now my home, is exactly what I had imagined.”

“This client was craving a serene space but had some darker pieces that needed to be incorporated. We used the fabric on the chairs to balance her favorite color, very pale blue, with these pieces. The artwork reflects her love of the Maine coast and brings a bold, natural element to a space that is mostly surrounded by city views.”

“The double-sided fireplace helps define the spaces in the great room while also creating a focal point for art and treasures. Our design intent was to enhance, not compete with, the fantastic views of the cove and islands outside. The stone was salvaged from the foundation earthwork, which gives the masonry a distinctive and historical tie to the site. It can be challenging to make a small house feel open and larger than it is, so we worked closely with Molly to actualize the spaces she envisioned. From there, she created a cozy home decorated in her own playful style.”

“This property lends itself to landscape art due to the uncomplicated nature of the overall design. Our client embodies the concept ‘less is more,’ which reflects in the landscape as a crisp, clean installation. Strategically placed art becomes a focal point, accented by the backdrop of ornamental plantings, Mystic Mountain granite, and the Washington Natural pool deck surround.”

“This condo is a pied-à-terre for a couple from Camden. As this is not their primary family home, the design objective was contemporary, clean, and sophisticated. The right art is a key element in making a space look and feel personal. These pieces play up the contemporary vibe while echoing the color palette beautifully.”

“It’s a unique honor to build the house of someone’s dreams. The work that went into the design and timber framing of this home was incredible. Each room, each view, each piece of joinery has its own special purpose. Working with this family to create their third Maine Barn Company structure was a joy.”

“With this kitchen renovation, the client wanted an open and airy space for family to gather and for hosting parties. The existing kitchen, which was about 20 years old, was very dark, with natural wood cabinets and a completely different layout. The renovation created a brighter and more modern kitchen with three different entrance points and a big island where the clients and their three children can enjoy casual meals.”

“This home is on a rocky outcropping on Lords Point—a narrow peninsula with water on either side—so it has spectacular views of both the ocean and the Kennebunk beaches. Hanging above the mantel in the living room, Gary Shepard’s powerful oil painting depicts waves crashing along Maine’s famous rocky coastline, something you can both see and hear right outside the windows. Taking the picturesque views as our inspiration, we selected a classic navy and white color scheme to complement the homeowner’s wonderful collection of antiques as well as fabrics that are comfortable but that will also hold up to salty air and sandy feet. What I love about the artwork is that it captures the feeling of what makes living by the water so special—something we always strive to do in our designs.”

“The warm earth tones of the Brazilian cherry flooring are reminiscent of the red brick nature of Portland’s historic East End. The cool gray millwork and cabinetry blends with the sky and sea in the distance and is a wonderful contrast that ‘pops’ off the floors. Splashes of auburn-toned accents throughout tie everything together.”
