In the living room, the visible log cross-sections reveal the home’s structure. The red wall is an ode to White’s father, who died right before the couple purchased the house. “He had always wanted a red room,” says Brady. A large painting by Robert John Ichter called Everywhere We Went is one of the first pieces Brady and White purchased after the loss of much of their art collection in Hurricane Katrina. “It is an important piece to us emotionally and one that is so fitting for our home in Maine. The name alone says so much.” Brady and White purchased the vintage Chinese coffee table from Asia West in Portland and the hand-blown red glass vase by Rick Satava from Edgecomb Potters Gallery in Edgecomb. Seated on the chair is Brady and White’s dog Padma, who rode out Katrina with Brady’s mother 30 miles inland from the Gulf Coast. Mason David Morris built the fireplace, which takes center stage. “His choice of rock, placement, and style is unique and fits well with the kind of homes we build,” says builder Doug Field. The brass andirons in the fireplace are from the 1930s and were given to the couple by a good friend. “It’s all the wonderful items throughout our home that are rich with emotion, joy, and memories,” says Brady. “We enjoy these things on a daily basis. It’s what makes a home a home.”
