Spring Mainstay with Johnson Paint & Home Remedies
The first Mainstay of 2025, hosted by MH+D and Johnson Paint, a Ring’s End brand, at Home Remedies on West Commercial Street, celebrated women, creativity, and community. Guests were treated to delightful bites and stunning charcuterie boards curated by Experience Maine Culinary, while the lively atmosphere was enhanced by refreshing Aperol spritzes and bubbly. Farrow and Ball representatives were on hand to showcase their latest color collection, inspiring attendees with fresh, vibrant hues. It was an evening that blended design, collaboration, and style, offering a unique opportunity to connect with local talent and discover the latest trends in home decor.
