n putting together this issue— our Interior Design issue—I was reminded, over and over, of how much interior design influences almost all aspects of how we live. While interior design can’t perform miracles—your relationship issues or difficult boss require the guidance of a different type of expert— designers know that one’s environment certainly affects mood, well-being, and emotion. In a home, the power of good design is apparent in everything from making mundane chores, such as putting away the laundry, more efficient to enhancing more convivial affairs, such as hosting friends for an intimate dinner. And here’s where the power of good design really comes into play: what begins at home is often carried through to one’s interactions with the outside world. After all, one’s public, exterior side is usually a reflection of one’s private, interior life. Want more proof? Take it from U.S. Navy Admiral William H. McRaven. In his commencement address to a graduating class of the University of Texas at Austin, he said, “If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.” He went on to explain that, by doing this one chore every morning, we set ourselves up for success—that this small daily task leads to a series of

WWW.HEIDILACHAPELLE.COM | 207.620.0300 Jen DeRose Managing Editor jderose@mainehomedesign.com

24 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

small accomplishments to follow. “And if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a made bed,” he said. “That you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.” Perhaps it’s because my own father is a retired naval officer, but something about this idea resonates with me. Where you start and end your day plays an important role. A space that feels right for you, that’s personal and functional (even if it’s not organized with military precision), that has colors and textures that soothe or invigorate you (depending on your preference), that not only reflects your approach to the world but also influences it—there is power in that, which is broadcast way beyond your bedroom walls. While I don’t want to speak on behalf of the 16 designers who are highlighted in A Sense of Place, page 98, I’m confident that they all believe in the power of good design. Just take a look at their stunning projects. These spaces go far behind the simple functionality of military barracks and tiny dorm rooms. From a calming neutral and natural coastal home to an energetic, eclectic kitchen, these spaces all have a positive impact on the people who live there. And there’s no arguing with that.

What is your favorite place in your home? “I’ve moved many times in the past decade. I’ve lived in many styles of homes, from a tiny city apartment to a bare bones, concrete house with a tin roof and no plumbing to a spacious, charming New England home. In them all, my favorite space has always been the kitchen. I am happiest when I am stirring a pot of something hearty and delicious while my home buzzes with friends and family. It is where my kids open up about their days and burst into spontaneous dance parties. It is where I laugh deeply with friends, and where I quietly savor my first cup of coffee every morning. My current kitchen is simple and sunny with my children’s artwork haphazardly taped to the walls. The kitchen is truly the heart of my home, and it is where I can usually be found.” —Emily Wedick, advertising account manager

“I gravitate toward rooms that have a certain energy. Like somehow the emotions that happen in the space are absorbed and stored in the walls. With a small bar for parties and a large dining room table for gathering around, my kitchen is my favorite space in my home. My countertops are lined with cookbooks and splashes of red decor, which provide the perfect pop. Maybe it’s because cooking at our gas stove gives the whole home a comforting warmth or because my favorite memories tend to happen around the dinner table, but my kitchen is my sanctuary.” —Shelbi Wassick, director of corporate giving & visibility

LANDSCAPING • HARDSCAPING • MASONRY

“My husband and I live in a center-stair colonial in Portland, and while we have plenty of room to roam in our home, my favorite room is our living room. The space has two overstuffed couches, a large, steel-framed glass coffee table, and is filled with an eclectic collection of art made by family and from local artists. Our reclaimedwood bookshelf is home to, among other things, our wind-up toy collection. Our living room is my sanctuary; it’s light filled and welcoming. It’s where I spent the better part of 2016 napping as I recovered from my stroke. No matter what kind of day I have had, I am able to unwind and be completely at ease in our living room.” —Chris Kast, brand strategist at the Brand Company

We fill our work days creating Maine-centric media products—publishing magazines and guides, producing radio shows, managing social media sites, developing websites, filming videos, producing events—because of this simple tenet. Our staff have stayed here, come back here, or moved here because we love Maine’s rich history, its unique character, and the people who live here, and most important, because we believe in Maine’s potential. We simultaneously love the Maine we grew up in and fully embrace the reality that things change and evolve. And we bear witness to that happening here. We are cheerleaders for Maine as a place for people to live, stay, and thrive—a place for people from away to move to, a place for second homeowners to buy into, a place to raise children, a place to start and operate a business—as well as a place to visit and explore, a place to escape and heal. And, a place to be inspired. We cover Maine in a positive light. We intentionally leave the negativity and snark to other media outlets. There is a place for everything, and we honor that. But that place is not here.

PHI BUILDERS AND ARCHITECTS has recently renovated its showroom. The updated space has three kitchen vignettes, each featuring a different style of cabinetry. One has a more traditional look with Harmoni Kitchens cabinetry and Rockport Granite stone; the second, which is more contemporary, has Lauriermax cabinetry and a marble countertop. The third is an often-admired set of Pennsylvania Cherry cabinets crafted in house by Phi’s team. There’s also a bathroom vignette in which Phi built a wood vanity with a stainless-steel frame and an Annicca quartz countertop from Cambria. The new design center serves as a resource center for both the company’s clients and design enthusiasts working with other builders.

SEA BAGS has opened its thirteenth store, on Main Street in Annapolis, Maryland, where it offers Sea Bags designs and seasonal collections. Founded in Portland’s Old Port, Sea Bags crafts totes, bags, and home goods from recycled sails.

Linda Banks, the designer behind BANKS DESIGN ASSOCIATES, has created a signature collection of prints for Wendover Art Group. Maine and coastal themes ground the 27-piece series, and standouts include illustrations of trees and a map of Maine’s coast depicting the fish most common to each inlet. The prints are available at Simply Home in Falmouth.

Portland’s SPACE GALLERY has awarded $65,000 toward 13 independent art projects based in Maine for its 2018 cycle of the Kindling Fund.

iving rooms are rich with history and deep in emotion. They’re where family events are held, discussions are resolved, and peaceful moments are absorbed. What draws me into this space—designer Ben Pentreath’s own drawing room featured in his book, English Houses: Inspirational Interiors from City Apartments to Country Manor Houses—are the contradictory fabrics: some are simple yet complex while others are bold but muted. Pentreath layers fabrics and textures to create an eclectic tactile environment. As you digest the visual variety of the wefts and weaves of the fabrics, the feeling

is euphoric. Warmth is addressed with peach-toned accessories and paint. The comfortable furnishings in a variety of sizes, scales, and textures are a perfect addition to this room. These design choices have created a space for family and friends to gather and continue a legacy. As a designer at Margo Moore Interiors, I know that elegance is defined by the finest details. On the following page are my selections to get a similar look. One last note: while it may sound regal to have your chair personally monogrammed, how fitting for a firelit room where Grandpa sits holding court late into the evening. MH+D

An Elegant, Industrial Chic Bathroom Interior designer Bronwyn Huffard of Huffard House Interior Design designs a memorable guest bath with British industrial touches

“T

he house is a new build in the Cross Hill area of Cape Elizabeth. The clients were looking for a unique and less formal design for their home. This bathroom is attached to a guest room, and the first piece of design inspiration was what we call the ‘phone booth’ shower door, because the pane pattern looks a little like a classic British telephone booth. When the initial quote for a glass and steel door came back high, we thought about other ways to accomplish the look that we wanted. We turned to Al Kronk at Rusted Puffin Metal Works. He came up with the idea of creating two steel grids that we would then affix to the outside of the shower glass. The panes aren’t truly divided, but it is a great solution: you don’t want steel inside the shower doors anyway, because it has a propensity to rust. On the shower walls, we chose a darker grout to add a little interest to white subway tile from Distinctive Tile and Design. From there, it became a black and white bathroom, which informed the floor tile. You can see that the repeating squares and rectangles of the door are echoed in the tile’s basket-weave pattern. Russ Doucette Custom Home Builders, who built the home, also built the vanity. It’s neat because the cabinetry and countertop is less deep underneath the windows on the ends, but then jumps out in the middle to accommodate the mirror and undermount sink. We painted the vanity in a pale gray-blue to tie in with some of the blues that we used in the adjoining guest bedroom. The countertops are quartz. It looks very much like Carrara marble but is really hard wearing. Carrara will show watermarks, and it’ll get etched from things such as toothpaste or perfume. Quartz is a good option for bathrooms and kitchens. For the hardware, we went with a design that’s beautiful and classic, without overdoing any one theme. We didn’t want it to be too British or too industrial or too anything. I was looking for something that fit it with the decor without beleaguering the other stylistic points that we had made. Everyone who’s seen the bathroom has loved it—the shower door and the floor in particular. Most important? The homeowners love, love, love it.” —Bronwyn Huffard, Huffard House Interior Design MH+D

STILL

PLAY

Jim Godbout rallies the city of Biddeford to renovate iconic Waterhouse Field. by SUSAN AXELROD Photography by NICOLE WOLF

eyond an industrial history and a central river, Biddeford appears to have little in common with Chicago. But Biddeford, like the Windy City, has a legendary sports field known to every one of its residents. What Wrigley is to Chicago, Waterhouse is to Biddeford; more than a playing surface, it’s a local icon with a far-reaching legacy and a palpable spirit that links the city’s present to its past. A 360- by 160-foot rectangle of grass surrounded by a neighborhood of modest homes, Waterhouse Field is revered well beyond its home city. In the 1980s and ’90s—glory days for Maine high-school football—Waterhouse was where every team in the state wanted to play, says Jeremy Ray, Biddeford superintendent of schools. That’s still true. “When our athletic director schedules games, he’ll hear: ‘We’ll give you the home game because our kids want to play at Waterhouse,’” says Ray. Part of what makes Waterhouse unique is that there is no track around the field, so spectators feel like they are closer to the game. Also unusual is the fact that it is not owned by either the school district or the city of Biddeford, but by the 18-member Waterhouse Field Alumni Association (WFAA), which leases it back to the district, and helps with upkeep. The history of Waterhouse goes back to just before the Great Depression, when local hardware store owner Alfred Waterhouse and some business partners purchased the property for high school sports. “The economy went bad, but Mr. Waterhouse made it through and created a place basically forever for the kids of Biddeford to play athletic contests,” says Ray. Maintained largely by volunteers and financial donations from the community, Waterhouse Field has also fallen on hard times during its long history. In April of last year, the school district padlocked the field after a structural evaluation found that its old wood and steel bleachers were unsafe. The Maine Shrine Lobster Bowl Classic, an All-Star high school football game that had taken place at Waterhouse every July since

1990, was moved to Thornton Academy in Saco, and with the cost of renovating the field estimated at $5.5 million, some in Biddeford wondered if Waterhouse would ever see another game. Those people must not know Jim Godbout, owner of Jim Godbout Plumbing and Heating and president of the WFAA. A devoted volunteer who is especially passionate about creating opportunities for the community’s young people, Godbout had been part of two previous renovations at Waterhouse Field. Fundraising for the latest round of updates was already underway, and Godbout figured that the best way to tackle the work needed at Waterhouse was to reach out for help. On May 6, 2017 he posted on the Waterhouse Field Renovation Facebook page that the following Saturday, he was looking for a “very large volunteer staff” to dismantle the bleachers. “In seven days I had almost 300 people there to help take down the bleachers, and in several hours we had 5,500 seats on the ground,” says Godbout. “It was classic Jim,” says Ray, who as school superintendent is a member of the WFAA and also knows Godbout from the Biddeford-Saco Rotary Club. “I think we were paralyzed about what to do because everybody had their own opinion and we were all concerned about where the money was going to come from,” Ray says. “I was out getting quotes to dismantle the bleachers and Jim said, ‘We’re taking them down on Saturday.’” On the morning of May 13, volunteers brought chainsaws, welding tools, and heavy equipment to take apart the stands where, for nearly three decades, thousands had watched the Biddeford Tigers play. Those with construction skills were assigned to work on the bleachers themselves, while other helpers, including Biddeford High School students, many wearing the school colors of orange and black, carted debris off the field board by board. “Businesses paid their crews to be there,” says Ray. “TJ’s Pizza, George’s Italian, and others brought food. The credit union called and said, ‘How do I get

New lighting was part of the field renovation project. (Opposite, top) Nearly 300 volunteers, including many local contracting crews, showed up on a Saturday in May 2017 to dismantle Waterhouse Field’s old, unsafe bleachers. Biddeford Superintendent of Schools Jeremy Ray (opposite, bottom) worked closely with Godbout on the renovation project.

Jim money?’ because people were using their own equipment, and we were buying fuel. It was home makeover, demo-style, with Jim leading the charge.” One of Biddeford High School’s athletic rivals pitched in too. When the old Waterhouse Field bleachers were taken down in the mid1980s, they were donated to Massabesic High School in Waterboro. So that Waterhouse could be in play for the fall 2017 sports season, Massabesic lent the WFAA temporary bleachers, which have since been replaced by permanent, galvanized aluminum bleachers that rise at 30 degrees, putting spectators 39 feet closer to the game than the previous seats. “It’s all cyclic,” says Godbout of Massabesic’s involvement. “Do good things and good things happen.” Waterhouse Field was reopened in time for the high school football season opener, and on Friday, September 1, under newly installed lights, the Biddeford Tigers beat Westbrook 43-0. While an outside company installed the new bleachers, local contractors donating their time and other volunteers did much of the continuing renovation of Waterhouse Field. Students from Biddeford Regional Center for Technology refurbished the old press box, which Godbout helped build 23 years ago. The Biddeford-Saco Rotary Club donated most of the money for a sophisticated video scoreboard. Multiple businesses held fundraisers. And individuals simply kept showing up at Waterhouse. Passing by the field one morning on his way to work, Ray noticed someone shingling the roof on the visitors’ locker room. “I’m thinking to myself, ‘I know I didn’t plan for this expenditure,’ because I get worried about those things,” he recalls. Seeing Godbout’s truck in the parking lot, Ray stopped to ask him what was going on. “He said, ‘They just showed up, and they want to shingle the roof. It’s not costing anything.’” A retired man named Phil Riveria has done much of the painting for the project. “His wife is ill, and he’s just an amazing person and cares about the community,” says Godbout. “We got him set up, and he would say, ‘Jim, what do you want us to do today?’ And he’d go around and paint everything.” Part of the Waterhouse renovation plan has been to make the field usable for sports beyond football, including girls’ and boys’ soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey. Ray also expects it to be used for band competitions, and has hopes that in the wintertime the field can be accessed for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. “We’re very limited for recreation space in Biddeford, so one of the goals of this project is that it would be offered up in some way in combination with our Recreation Department,” he says. Nearly $350,000 in community donations will be used for a synthetic turf surface, which Ray hopes can be installed this spring. In addition, refinancing an existing bond for renovations to the high school created savings for the city

that have been allocated to the field. “We will have a state-of-the-art facility done by volunteers that costs the taxpayers probably under half a million dollars in new money,” Ray says. Ray stresses that the future of Waterhouse Field would not look nearly as bright without Godbout, who coordinated every aspect of the project. “I’m worried about codes and making sure that everything’s going through the right process,” he says. “But quite frankly, I had a lot of faith in Jim.” On a cruise in Alaska last summer, Godbout got a call from Ray, with a question: “The guys are here to put the lights in; how do I know these are right, Jim?” The lights weren’t supposed to arrive for another two weeks, but the president of the WFAA had planned ahead. “I set the guidelines for where the light poles go because I got a feeling they were going to show up,” says Godbout. “I told Jeremy, ‘It’s all set.’” For Godbout, Waterhouse Field represents the values that he hopes to instill in the next generation: the importance of being involved and

giving back. “When you engage people you create this community effect,” he says. “You open conversation and you show people by action and they all seem to come and give.” A proponent of building Maine’s skilled labor force and leading by example, Godbout mentors students at the Biddeford Regional Center of Technology and Sweetser, a behavioral health facility in Saco. His dedication to role-modeling is inspired by his personal history. After his father left the family when Godbout was young, he helped take care of his brothers. “I had some great mentors, guys who taught me an awful lot about working and how to succeed in life,” he says. “I believe you should transfer what you’ve learned, and that energy, to somebody that’s young and let them succeed.” Both Godbout and Ray believe that Waterhouse Field will play an important role in Biddeford as the city reinvents itself. Downtown historic buildings have been repurposed for restaurants and retail shops, and artists and entrepreneurs have claimed space in once-vacant mills that are

also being renovated for housing. “Most towns in the state of Maine have been experiencing population decline, and we’ve actually been holding steady,” says Ray, who expects to see an increase in the next several years. Just as the city has been open to change, the community commitment to Waterhouse Field represents a look ahead, an acknowledgement that it has always been a special place, and that “we might have to create a different kind of special,” he says. The turf, state-of-the-art scoreboard, and other upgrades are all part of that plan. What we can hope will never change, however, is that people like Jim Godbout, Phil Riveria and the dozens of other volunteers who contributed to Waterhouse Field’s rebirth keep showing up to keep it in play.

Master of Blue

An artful solution to a 3-D puzzle

by Debra Spark // Photography by Jeff Roberts

64 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

To give the kitchen of Rob and Jane Garveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kennebunkport home a cottage feel, kitchen designer Dina Lennon of Sylco Cabinetry used white beadboard, backsplash tile, and appliance covers. Light granite for the countertops plays off the natural gray of the sand outside. Hidden away are custom drawer dividers and specialty pullouts. The woven wicker and antique white stools are from Lexington Home Brands.

Instead of two flat parallel floors, this house has multiple levels. Each level after the first floor is reached by a switchback interior staircase. The numerous gables seen here, some of which have white detailing, are responding to the space below, says architectural designer Erik Peterson of Peterson Design Group. The home was built by Creative Coast Construction and has interior design by Hurlbutt Designs.

“W

hat would you do if I told you I had fallen in love with a color?” writes author Maggie Nelson at the start of her quirky book Bluets. Part emotional memoir and part philosophical inquiry, the slim volume published in 2009 is a meditation on the color that, studies show, people favor over every other. On the coast, blue is also the go-to color of designers who want to bring the outside in. Louise Hurlbutt’s many years of designing homes in the Kennebunks has made her a real master of the hue, in all its moods. When she went to design the home of Jane and Rob Garvey on Goose Rocks Beach in Kennebunkport, she knew the nautical crispness of a predominately navy and white interior, or the patriotic vigor of such a home with red touches, would not be right. Although Rob was retired, Jane was still working, and the couple’s professional lives were high stress. They wanted their vacation home to be unfussy and relaxing. “We started with a calm palette,” says Hurlbutt. “Aquas and beiges, making it very restful.” The palette also makes the home very much a piece with the outdoors, as Goose Rocks has a beach so wide at low tide that one can walk from the Garveys’ house to a Cape Porpoise peninsula called Marshall Point and to the coast of Timber Island,

whose 13 acres are part of the Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. Given all that sand, it seemed right to visually pull neutrals and grays into the house as well as the blues of the sky and ocean. The first floor has a European oak floor that was wire-brushed and whitewashed to suggest driftwood, as well as gray and white granite kitchen countertops and light-oatmeal-colored upholstered pieces. Rattans, ropes, rushes, and wickers were chosen for furniture elements, such as the seats for the antiqued wood kitchen stools, and accessories, such as a mirror frame and a decorative nautical monkey claw that serves as doorstop. At the edge of spaces, Hurlbutt introduced bolder colors. The living room walls have two paintings, one a landscape, the other featuring sandpipers on a turquoise background. Mediumvalue aquas appear at the front door and the foyer’s staircase newel. Lighter values are on the sisal-like living room rug and decorative pillows in the owners’ bedroom. Deeper blues serve as an accent throughout the house, as in the dusty blue animal-print fabric on a bench that serves as the den’s coffee table. Upstairs, the use of minimal color continues into an owners’ bedroom with a light-cornflower raffia-upholstered headboard. The guest rooms tend toward bolder blues and whites with occasional grays in the linens. A second design tendency mixes antiques and reproductions (such as a faux-finished wood-framed sofa) with

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 67

A view from the kitchen to the fieldstone surround for the gas fireplace (above) shows how the living room combines contemporary, antique, and reproduction pieces. Behind the living room is the den. The existing wood beams were once stained dark but are now white to lighten the room. Some of the items in the house (including the painting of sandpipers to the right) are from the Garveysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; previous home. Interior designer Louise Hurlbutt found the painting above the fireplace in her travels. The fire pit and wicker on the deck (opposite) are from Lloyd Flanders. 68 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

contemporary items (such as a long, industrialstyle dining room chandelier whose bronzed wrought iron makes five loops around five glass lamp shades). Yet a third design tendency is for cottagey touches such as white V-match paneling for many of the walls and beadboard for the powder room wainscoting and select areas of the kitchen, which was designed by Dina Lennon of Sylco Cabinetry. The first floor’s ceiling beams, originally stained dark, were painted white, which visually lifts the ceiling. Architectural designer Erik Peterson and builder Jonathan Trudo—of Peterson Design Group in Kennebunk and Portland and Creative Coast Construction in Kennebunkport, respectively—found the house a fun challenge. “I like to solve puzzles,” says Peterson, and Trudo echoes him when he says, “The good thing about projects like this is that there are tons of things to solve. I love that.” The tricky issue was matching the Garveys’ desires with a handful of unavoidable constraints. When the Garveys bought their lot in 2015, it had a timber-frame house with small rooms, a staircase on the ocean side of the house, and a black woodstove in the center of the living room, all of which obstructed views. The plan was to renovate, not rebuild, adhering to firm regulations concerning sand dune protection, setbacks, and allowable height and footprint. The Garveys wanted a clean, easy-

to-maintain, light-filled, open-plan house, where you look through the house from the front door and see the ocean. Because they planned on year-round use, they also wanted an office for Jane and a garage. A final challenge was to attach the old structure to new steel framing to prevent the house from swaying in high wind. To make all this work, Peterson devised a garage at street level, and then a switchback interior staircase to create a multilevel house instead of two parallel floors. The first floor was gutted and the second floor removed so the builder could start all over. (Trudo also lifted the entire structure to repair the piers on which it was built.) In the new layout, the dining room is on one side of the kitchen, the living room on the other. A small den adjacent to the living room provides a separate space to watch TV or read a book. Large windows line the ocean side of all the rooms and continue around the house to reveal the street views, which are of an extended marsh and river. A guest bedroom and bath is halfway up the staircase. “In most beach houses,” observes Peterson, “not every use has its own room.” On occasion, some form of doubling up is necessary, as with the second-floor landing, which also serves as an office with a vaulted ceiling and skylight. The owners’ bedroom and bath stretches the length of the house and offers

The second-floor landing also serves as an office. The walls are V-match, and the vaulted ceiling with a skylight floods the space with light. The floor is engineered European oak. Opposite, clockwise from top left: A guest bedroom with a blue and white coverlet, an upholstered bed frame from Stanley Furniture, and a lamp from Hurlbutt Designs in Kennebunk.

Jane Garvey loves light, especially in the winter. Here, a row of windows keeps the ownersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bedroom bright.

broad views of the ocean. Even the shower has a window. Light blue glass shower tiles and a basket-weave tile floor (of Carrara marble and the lightest of blue glass) maintains Hurlbutt’s color scheme. The second floor also has an additional guest bedroom. Up one final level is a bunk room with two built-in beds with drawers underneath, for grandchildren. Almost every space (up- and downstairs) has some sort of exterior balcony or porch with stainlesssteel cabling. From outside, the gray shingle house has multiple gables, all facing in different directions. Peterson says the house is, in fact, not all that complex, and the rooflines are “responding to the spaces below.” Peterson kept things fresh and bright with white trim and white shingling underneath the facade gables. The Garveys acquired their confidence in Hurlbutt, Peterson, and Trudo from first working with the trio in 2000, when the group collaborated on a major renovation on a different house the couple had owned on Kings Highway, which is the street on which the current house is located. Because that first house—originally bought in 1981— was on the land side of Kings Highway, the Garveys were happy to have the chance to purchase property directly on the ocean. The couple had a lot of faith, Jane says, in the team’s “ability to capture what we love” once again. Contemporary author Maggie Nelson ruminated on blue, but the color has been favored for centuries. In the case of the Garvey home, perhaps the Victorian art critic John Ruskin said it best: “Blue color is everlastingly appointed by the deity to be a source of delight.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 134.

s an architectural and interior designer, Linda Banks spends a lot of time thinking about how design can improve other people’s lives. But when it came to creating a space for her own friends and family to use, she found herself considering an old saying. “It’s always the shoemaker’s kids who go barefoot,” says Banks, the owner of Banks Design Associates and Simply Home in Falmouth. “I wanted this cottage to be different.” Pint-size and optimally located near Falmouth’s Town Landing, Bayview (as she decided to name the house) is a cleverly designed restoration project that Banks completed in 2016 with the help of builder Paul Moutal of Flying Point Construction in Topsham. “It was a puzzle,” Banks admits. “But I love to solve puzzles, and I think this one turned out really well.” The property was in bad shape when Banks first saw it. The cottage had languished on the market for 18 months. Although the 1920s bungalow had its charms, previous homeowners had enclosed the front porch in large sheets of thick glass, which Banks felt disguised the house’s true potential. “It was a camp. Like a lot of camps, it was really cobbled together,” says Moutal. “The structural integrity had been compromised during the various renovations.” The house was missing several bearing points, and the collar ties had been removed from the upstairs dormer, rendering the roof unstable.

There was also no front entryway. The main door into the house was located around the back (away from the water views), which Banks thought detracted from the overall experience of arriving at a vacation destination. “It was obvious to me that we would need to move the doorway and create a stronger entrance,” she says. “I wanted guests to be able to see the ocean before they got inside—that gets them excited to be here and puts them in the right mind-set.” Banks wanted to keep the vaulted ceilings, add an additional dormer to the front of the house, reexpose the front porch, and create a new and more picturesque entryway. In order to build the new entrance, Banks had to make a few trade-offs. Due to the postage-stamp-size lot, she couldn’t increase the footprint of the house, so she created a design that would push the exterior walls inward, sacrificing indoor space to create a roomy covered front porch. This task would prove a practical challenge for her builder. Banks wanted to build a wood porch with slatted decking, but that kind of structure would allow water to flow through it, thus exposing the basement to potential water damage. Since the basement is a heated space that houses mechanical elements like the HVAC and plumbing, Moutal says they “had to find a way to build a porch without exposing the basement to the elements.” Moutal came up with

the idea of lining the porch with pitched sheets of metal that would act as funnels, channeling any rainwater that fell on the porch into bays. “Now, you can go in and throw a bucket of water on the wall next to the front door, and it will drain without getting a drop in the basement,” Moutal says. The resulting porch is large enough to fit a small metal Frenchbistro dining set. To optimize the view, Banks chose an unobtrusive wire railing, and to fit with the home’s Victorian style, she picked vintage-inspired Edison bulb lights to frame the front door and welcome any guests arriving after dark. While Banks says she “tried to avoid changing too much of the interior architecture,” she did want to modernize the flow of the first floor. When she first bought it, Bayview had three rooms downstairs: a living room, a dining room, and a kitchen. She opted to open this up, creating a “circular path” through the main living spaces. This semi-open floor plan allows for light to pour in through the living room front windows and into the kitchen. Another major change Banks made was to install new flooring throughout. “To unify the first floor, we ripped out all the old floors and put down this remarkable faux-driftwood bleached flooring made from snap-and-click vinyl. It’s practically sand-proof,” she says, making it a good fit for a vacation rental. (“I needed a floor that could tolerate dirt and water and could be easily cleaned with a mop,” she says. “Wood would have gotten ruined.”) Throughout the renovation 90 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

process, Banks kept the house’s function at the forefront of her mind, which is why she moved laundry to the second floor, turning the original laundry room into a tiny bathroom. “Now there are two bathrooms upstairs for the three bedrooms to share, which is so much better than one.” This, she says, was one of her biggest contributions to Bayview. “But I found it immensely valuable to have another bathroom, and everyone who stays here agrees.” Bayview’s small size is part of its charm. At 1,900 square feet, it “came out like a little dollhouse,” Moutal says. “The proportions are great, and it works for the location.” Plus, Banks managed to pack a lot of personality into the furnishings and decor. To make the bedrooms seem larger than they are, Banks used white high-gloss paint in two of the guest rooms. “Because the ceilings have so many angles I thought an allwhite ceiling would help unify the room,” Banks says. One guest room has more of a “sporty” look, with framed single flags in a classical nautical color palette and a navy blue headboard for the queen-size bed. (“We only had room for the bare necessities,” she says, “but a big bed is a necessity when you’re vacationing.”) For the largest guest room—what Banks refers to as the owners’ suite—the designer wanted to create a more “womblike” space full of cozy neutrals, so she added wall-to-wall carpeting in sandy beige for warmth, seafoam green walls for an element of color, and limed oak

Banks was surprised by how well the bright green French doors (above) paired with the black-painted chairs that she had picked out for the dining area. She says, “That’s what I call design through discovery.” To maximize the view, Banks chose a simple wire railing for the front deck (opposite). Underneath the deck is the basement, which houses all the electrical elements needed to keep the house warm and the water running, so Banks and Moutal had to figure out a way to keep water from seeping down below.

furniture to match the driftwoodinspired flooring downstairs. Banks also installed a set of antique wooden double doors, which is something of a trademark of hers, as is the wave tile installed in the larger of the two upstairs bathrooms. “That S-scroll tile is one of my signatures,” she says. She brought in Larry Stoddard of Distinctive Tile and Design to create a serene gray and white space, complete with a marble-topped bathroom sink that has scalloped edging. Downstairs, Banks used mirrored cabinet doors to create an illusion of extra space in the kitchen. “I had to give up a window there to make space for the stove,” she says. “So I created my own windows by adding mirrors into the cabinets.” Never one to do an all-white kitchen, Banks kept the space playful with a set of dark hunter green vintage doors from Portland Architectural Salvage

that look particularly fresh next to the mint green cabinets and blackpainted dining chairs. Although she originally planned to paint the doors, Banks liked how they looked with the dining set. “That’s what I call design through discovery,” she says. While the overall renovation took more time than she had originally planned and involved quite a few trade-offs, Banks loves her quirky overflow cottage. “I have some practical Yankee sensibilities, but after 30 years in architecture and interior design, I think I know what people need and what people can do without,” she says. Bayview, she says, hits all the right notes. “It’s everything we need, and nothing we don’t.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 134.

A Sense of Place From traditional to sleekly contemporary, 15 spaces that are stylish, striking—and sure to make a lasting impression Edited by Jen DeRose

hen we asked the designers on the following pages to tell us about their philosophies, what came up, time and time again, was how their clients inspire them. “No two spaces should be the same,” says designer Gretchen Boulos, whose focus is on office spaces, “because no two clients or sites are the same.” That ability to hone in on what exactly it is that each client uniquely needs, deserves, and desires is perhaps what made these projects in particular rise to the top of the submission pile. (Speaking of unique, don’t miss the croquet-mallet-inspired balustrade designed by Margo Moore Interiors’ Megan van der Kieft.) After weeks spent working with—and listening to—their clients, these designers have all created intuitive and inspirational spaces. But what really sets their projects apart is that they have more than a passion for their work and an eye for beauty: they also have an open ear.

his new home replaced an existing, grandfathered cottage within the 75-foot setback from the shoreline. “The interior combines the warmth and ease of Scandinavian design with an elevated coastal aesthetic drawn from its island surroundings,” says designer Brady-Anne Cushing, who worked with designer Elena Duralde, both of Knickerbocker Group, on the project. The solid surfaces within the home are a study of restraint in color. The pair implemented a uniform, soft warm gray for the walls throughout and whites, blues, and wood tones for the cabinetry. “This becomes the canvas for a juxtaposition with the textiles, which feature bright colors of citron, blue, and turquoise,” says Duralde. Notable are the designers’ use of natural finishes that allow the materials’ characteristic beauty to shine through. “It was important to us to maintain the aesthetic and integrity throughout—unaffected finishes such as the concrete parging on the fireplace surround, the raw steelwork of the diamond-lattice wood box, and the natural brass of light fixtures, for example,” says Cushing. The pair also designed a winding open stair that creates a visual connection between the home’s three floors; with its unique handrail and baluster system, it seems to float in the space. In addition, Cushing and Duralde incorporated thoughtful function at every turn: a quirky loft space at the top of the stairs was made into a cozy reading nook by incorporating two large custom benches, and a dresser inset into the wall of the second-floor bedroom adds storage without taking away valuable floor space. The designers transformed the lower level—formerly a dirt-floored storage area— into an elegant, open-air entertainment room with a cedar-coffered ceiling, porcelaintiled floors, a stone fireplace, teak cabinetry, and mahogany-framed screen panels between shingle-clad columns, selecting materials for warmth and aesthetic value as well as weather resistance. “Every inch of space was treated with significance and attention to detail,” says Duralde, “which resulted in a home that is carefully designed and beautifully decorated. The design challenges gave us an exceptional opportunity for creative and uncommon solutions, making this space sing with individuality.”

his quaint summer retreat in Seal Harbor, Maine, which was designed by architect Keith Kroeger, is a tribute to an original Fred L. Savage summer cottage. Kroeger enhanced the project with intricate wall paneling and moldings, an elaborate woodpaneled staircase with curved newels, and an elegant Maine granite surround for the living room fireplace. Designer Leandra Fremont-Smith introduced slender yet comfortable furniture to update the traditional space. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The living room is a palette of fresh and light blues and greens that reflect the ever-changing ocean outside the cottage,â&#x20AC;? she says. She created layers of patterns in pillow fabrics from Schumacher, Thibaut, and Martyn Lawrence Bullard. For the artwork above the mantel, she reached out to Deirdre Boland of Artemis Gallery in Northeast Harbor and selected Francis Lipariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Flanders Bay, which portrays a beautiful, calm summer day on Mount Desert Island. Tucked around the corner from the living room is an upholstered window seat, which provides a cozy reading nook. Underneath the stairway sits a bench from Thos. Moser, with vibrant green pillows that contrast against the rich wood paneling of the adjacent billiards room. The guest bedroom is clad in beautiful tongue-and-groove pine walls with a thick moulding above, and features a McAdoo hooked rug that portrays a scene from neighboring Northeast Harbor. Overall, FremontSmith strove to blend the rich traditional elements of the home with a playful palette and furniture pieces that will continue to be used and loved for many summers to come.

he client, who lives in an 1884 house with her two young daughters, described her aesthetic as “bohemian meets modern farmhouse.” “I saw this as a unique design challenge to merge these styles into a really beautiful, family-friendly space,” says designer Heidi Lachapelle. The home’s double living area had six large windows, which offered lots of light but made furniture placement “a little bit of a puzzle,” says Lachapelle. Her solution was taking advantage of the large room, creating a more formal living area in one space and a cheery playroom area in the other. “The key to designing any older home is to work with the architecture instead of against it—quirks and all!” she says. Cyr Painting Service painted the built-in a strong blue green, a shade that helped inform the rest of the space’s color story. Pops of raspberry add contrast, but most of the furniture is neutral, with a focus instead on textures such as weathered wood and metal accents. Lachapelle hung paintings by Louis-Pierre Lachapelle on the walls and selected simple white window treatments from Accent on Windows. But the room’s showpiece is the stunning capiz globe light. “It ups the sophistication level without feeling too stuffy,” she says.

The Mix Is In Bronwyn Huffard Huffard House Interior Design huffardhouse.com

esigner Bronwyn Huffard’s clients were repatriating to Cape Elizabeth after years of living in London. The inspiration for the design was the clients’ artwork and treasures collected during their time abroad. Huffard mixed old and new, quirky and traditional, European and American, all while keeping the look clean and functional. Early project inspiration came from pendants (now hung over the kitchen island) that the clients found at auction, as well as a vintage Bibendum Man poster, which helped to inform the color palette. The inspiration for the kitchen cabinetry came from a photo the homeowners took of a kitchen in Sweden with very dark cabinets. “It took some trial and error with samples to get the exact color, but in the end, we got it just right,” says Huffard. She kept the sitting area, which is open to the kitchen, subtle in soft grays and added a custom loveseat and rug sized to the space. She also oversaw the opening up of the kitchen area. “The old space was littered with fluted columns that we wanted to remove, so we had to study how the loads were being carried before taking them out,” the designer explains. “Ultimately, we only had to keep one support, which is visible in the corner of the island. Paul G. White Interior Solutions did a great job creating a template of the countertop and creating an escutcheon of sorts around the pole with the countertop material.” With the wall between the kitchen and dining room left as a cased opening, the two rooms needed to relate to one another while still maintaining their individual characters. Huffard softened the palette in the dining room and elevated the details, adding light blue silk wallpaper and a simple, refined chandelier. “These both softly complement the clients’ cherished landscape painting that hangs center stage above the fireplace,” she says. Overall, it’s a space that perfectly illustrates Huffard’s design philosophy. “I inherently mix old with new, high with low, and near with far, so this project was a great fit,” she says.

A Charming, Classic Bedroom & Nursery Nicki Bongiorno Spaces Kennebunkport spaceskennebunkport.com

Photography: Jeff Roberts

he owners of this historic summer cottage, which retains much of its original detail, have shared many cherished moments at the home. Their two daughters were both married at the house. Their first grandchild was born this year, and they wanted to update the new parents’ bedroom and turn the guest room next door into a comfortable and functional nursery. “Both bedrooms are done with a fresh spin, but they still blend in with the classic antique look of the home,” says designer Nicki Bongiorno. The new mother selected a color scheme of navy and white with punches of orange, for a palette that’s both fresh and classic. Bongiorno then outfitted the space with a clean-lined parsons-style desk, which also doubles as a vanity, so the couple can still work while visiting. The designer also created a seating area for quiet moments with or without the new baby, for reading, and for just taking in the beautiful view. “And the luxe bed is so comfy,” she says. “Perfect for new parents desiring all the sleep that they can get!” The nursery, which is just next door, updates a former guest room that had horsehair plaster with wallpaper on top. “There was no way to remove the existing wallpaper,” explains Bongiorno. Instead, she found a new, nautical-inspired wallpaper to layer on top. “The wave pattern is a nod to the location without being too thematic or babyish. I love that it is so highly patterned, but is still gentle in color and contrast,” she says. “It doesn’t scream, ‘look at me.’” She finished the space with a large soft rug that will be the perfect surface as the baby learns to crawl. “While the family has plenty of seating elsewhere in the house,” says Bongiorno, “they have told me that this room is where they all gather now: three generations seated on the floor, window seat, and glider.”

A Sophisticated & Lively Condo Tyler Karu tylerkaru.com

“M

y inspiration for this condo was the architecture of the space,” says designer Tyler Karu. “The 14-foot ceilings, original brick accent walls, and clean palette dictated bold design ideas and out-of-the box concepts.” The goal was to create a home that would be casual, sophisticated, and lively—a space where it is clear that an active, adventurous person resides there. To do that, Karu kept the furnishings modern and clean-lined and selected a neutral color palette with pops of yellow and blues. “The blues are inspired by the ocean, as the homeowner loves the water,” says Karu. The shade is evident in the eye-catching Akdo tile from Old Port Specialty Tile that adds life to the pared-down kitchen. The design challenge was rooted in the scale of the space. “There was not a ton of square footage but a lot of volume,” says Karu. To enhance the home’s expansive height, the designer focused on drawing the eye up. This is done with the mural in the owner’s bedroom—Karu had it made from a nineteenthcentury map of Maine that she obtained through the Library of Congress—as well as with a paddleboard used as decor in the living area. “Even though they weren’t part of the original design plan, they add another proportional piece to suit the space,” she says. “I love mixing organic and earthy elements such as wood, leather, brick, and concrete, and they all play together well in this space. Even with a centuriesold map taking up an entire 14-foot wall, the modern furnishings still work because the overall aesthetic is tonal and neutral,” says Karu. “It’s the mix of elements that excites me the most about design.”

he homeowners were downsizing from their New York farmhouse and moving to a seaside condominium in the midcoast. Designer Ariana Fischer created a sophisticated, chic home incorporating well-loved family heirlooms and furniture as well as places for the clients’ beloved—and expanding—contemporary art collection. “The couple travels extensively, so incorporating all of these elements into an easy and comfortable home was the goal,” says Fischer. “They also really love modern European design, so we took this opportunity to have their new home and life reflect that.” Fischer acknowledges that there were some design challenges: “Condominiums can have tricky structural details that cannot be altered. That being said, we were able to convert a tiny, dark 1980s kitchen into an open and bright space.” Citing the homeowners’ love of travel and art as her design inspiration, Fischer used neutrals to reflect their tailored sensibilities, played homage to their favorite places with the Italianinspired kitchen and Belgian bluestone floor, and honored meaningful family pieces by incorporating antiques into the kitchen. She also furnished the space with decor that complements the variety of the homeowners’ contemporary art collection, with pieces ranging from an African woven rug to a modern Eames chair. “I like to mix things together that represent the client: where they came from, the life they live, and the aspirations they have,” says Fischer. “I am always determined to create spaces that give respite but also inspiration. I have been designing for these clients for years, and it is an effortless, trusting, and symbiotic relationship, so the result feels totally natural and perfect.”

A Neutral & Natural Coastal Home Nicola Manganello Nicola’s Home nicolashome.com

n a coastal house built by Thomas and Lord, designer Nicola Manganello created a peaceful and calming look through her use of neutral and natural colors and textures. In the kitchen, the design evolved around the woven lights. “Apart from the artistry of their weave, they filter a soft, subtle light you’ll never find in a Pantone book,” she says. She added vintage Maguire stools, which were handed down by the owners’ parents, “proving that good furniture never goes out of style,” she says. Manganello reupholstered their seats in orange fabric with a Bermuda-red stripe, adding a splash of color and fun to the room. Then, as the kitchen is a high-traffic area, she selected pieces for beauty and durability, such as the heart pine floors. In the living area, Manganello says she “took particular care to sidestep the traditional blues and whites often seen in waterfront settings.” Instead, she gravitated toward Indian stitch pillows, a contemporary painting, and distinctive antique mermaid accents. Clean, oiled beams add a touch of visual orientation. Elsewhere in the house, she incorporated the clients’ antique and vintage finds, such as old boards. Manganello had them pressure washed, “which revealed a tone and grain that was reminiscent of a vintage Hawaiian longboard.” She says. “It completely changed the character of the wood, and we used it everywhere.” The home has a sense of warmth and familiarity that’s instantly welcoming to both owners and guests alike. Perhaps that’s because Manganello puts so much of herself into the work. “When I design a space for a client, I’m also designing it for myself,” she says. “If I wouldn’t want to call it my own, my work’s not done.”

or this timeless, modern kitchen, the homeowners requested a design that would be both colorful and serene yet also maintain the natural feel of the home’s wooded site. Designer Catherine Weiland, who collaborated on the space with architecture firm Briburn and builder Senecal Construction, used a tranquil color palette and natural wood to achieve the look that the clients were after. “The homeowners asked for cabinets that felt present—in other words, not white— with bold touches throughout the space,” says Weiland. Her solution was slab cabinet doors painted graphite blue. “This style of doors can be seen in kitchens from every decade,” she says. “And the color is a shade similar to the rocks of the shore nearby. It falls just outside the gray trend, which gives the space lasting independence.” Gallerywhite walls enhance the light and view from windows on three sides, while bold pops of color come in through accessories such as bowls, textiles, and cookbooks. Because the kitchen was an addition and contains a load-bearing wall, there is a large structural post in the space. To keep the design feeling proportionate, Weiland centered the island on the post, creating a feeling of alignment and order, then added a wood waterfall countertop for a clean, seamless interaction. The natural wood counter, along with the floors and shelves, lends an organic modern element and echoes the view of the trees just beyond. “My design philosophy is simple,” says Weiland. “Design the space your clients would design for themselves.”

ape Elizabeth homeowners Chris and Laura Lynch were ready to update the living room that their family uses every evening to watch TV, read, and relax. They loved all of the antiques they had collected but wanted to freshen things up. Designer James Light created a living area with an Old World feel that incorporated some of their existing pieces. “The heart of this room is the view,” explains Light. “So I started with a palette that was borrowed from the outside landscape. I wanted everyone who entered the room to immediately go zooming over to the window and experience the vista that is hard to beat.” In order to do that, Light swapped out brocade curtains for light-colored linen ones, adding a neutral but bold trim to further frame the view. He also re-covered the couple’s floral George Smith sofa and chair in a solid neutral. On the TV side of the space, Light added new Lee Industries swivel chairs and a deep Hickory Chair sofa with a gracious curved back. “I chose to put bold pattern on the pillows,” says Light. “It’s an easy swap if the family wants another change down the road.”

n renovating the three-story, neoclassical Grand Trunk Railway Company building in Portland, designer Gretchen Boulos says she looked to the site’s history for inspiration. “I wanted the lobby to showcase the history of the building while at the same time making it a first-class office space for Gorham Savings Bank,” says Boulos, who worked with Archetype Architects and builder Monaghan Woodworks on the project. “The building has so much character and architectural detail that I really felt my job was to not overdesign the space, which would distract from its original beauty.” Preserving as much as possible, Boulos restored the wainscoting, wood floors, doors, and doorframes, and even custom designed historically appropriate wall signs from Welch Signs directing visitors to the reception. But she wasn’t afraid to modernize certain elements of the space, such as the large, chrome circular pendants that hang from the lobby’s 14-foot ceilings and the additional seating and office furniture from Creative Office Pavilion. The building offers up views of both the ocean and the city. From the third-floor boardroom, one can see in all directions. “Look left, and you’ll see the ferries. Look straight, and you’ll see up bustling Commercial Street. Look right to see across Munjoy Hill,” she says. In order not take away from the natural beauty of the site, Boulos selected a scheme of wood tones, neutrals, and blues. “The colors allow the eye to gaze from the floor, to the ceiling, to the views, seamlessly,” she says. “As with any project, my approach is always the same. Learn about the client, learn about how they work, and learn how they can work better,” says the designer. “Then I can design an office space unique to them.”

An Airy & Modern Lakeside Bathroom Emily Ennis Mattei e4 Interior Design e4interiordesign.com

Photography: Kim Case

esigner Emily Ennis Mattei’s inspiration for the space—a dated, forest green bathroom with dark wood trim and a sunken tub—was to design a clean, European-modern owners’ bathroom that would showcase sweeping views of Lake Sebago’s Mystic Cove and align its look and feel with the rest of the contemporary lake home. Working with builder Wright-Ryan Homes and Wright-Ryan Millwork, Mattei first broke up the square space into sections, allowing a main function to reside in each corner of the space, where a soaking tub, oversized shower, and modern floating vanity were located. The bathroom’s showpiece is the custom vanity that Mattei floated in the center of the space and paired with a custom ceilingmounted mirror. “I didn’t want to clutter the ceiling with too much hardware,” Mattei says, “so we concealed the support mechanism for the mirrors in the ceiling structure.” In addition, she used specialty junction boxes so that the pendant light canopies could be only two inches in diameter rather than the more common four or five inches. “These small details had a big impact on maintaining the Zen-like feel of the space,” she explains. The designer selected a modern and soothing color palette, choosing textures, sheens, and mixed materials—such as polished chrome and flat-black metal—to create balance and keep the focus on the view. She wrapped the shower walls and the toilet wall in an oversized, high-gloss ceramic tile that gives the appearance of Carrara marble and then grounded the space with square, charcoal-colored ceramic tile flooring that mimics real stone. Finally, she created an alcove for greenery that creates a natural privacy shield for the shower yet connects the space to the outdoors. “Living and working in Maine, I find that I am often designing spaces that lend themselves to celebrating the whole spatial environment, both inside and outside of the home,” she says. “This bathroom, with its large picture windows and views beyond, is no exception.”

his unassuming home in a row of cabins overlooks Megunticook Lake and Maiden Cliff. Flanked by boulders and covered in pine needles, this beautiful property required a light and fresh approach to lake life. Designer Megan van der Kieft of Margo Moore Interiors first found inspiration from an article she had filed away more than 12 years ago on antique croquet mallets. “I immediately thought of spindles on a staircase,” says van der Kieft. I knew, the moment I saw this space and understood the eclectic decor that the client wanted, that this was the perfect location to introduce the idea.” Van der Kieft worked with Phi Builders and Architects to build the spindles to resemble mallet handles. “Phi further developed the stairwell design by creating a functional newel that houses croquet balls,” she says. Van der Kieft designed the kitchen around a colorful retro refrigerator and range and added natural black slate countertops to ground the space. Rather than traditional wall cabinets, she had Benjamin Leavitt Metalwork craft raw-edged open shelves and brackets to keep the spacing feeling airy. More unique details abound, including quiltpattern decorative flooring painted by Two Itinerant Artisans (who also painted the stair spindles) and gothic arched doors with antique closures installed in the owner’s loft. One other unique detail was a happy surprise. Concrete tiles with a star pattern, which were originally intended for a different project but didn’t arrive within the timeline, were installed in the owner’s bath—and were clearly meant to be. “I showed the tile to the client and her family, and they fell in love,” says van der Kieft. “It reminded them of her husband and his passion for stars. Installed on the walls and the floor, it looks like the night sky and is perfection.”

A Historic Home with a View

Debbie Chatfield Chatfield Design chatfielddesign.com

his historic cottage, a former blacksmith’s shop, is situated on a beautiful overlook on the Goose River right at the spot where it empties into Rockport Harbor. “It’s a stunning view, and what struck me about it when I first stepped into the house we now call home was the way it celebrates the beauty outside and also brings it within,” says designer Michael Hampton, who’s based in Washington, D.C. Renovated by architect John Priestley of Priestley and Associates, the home has an open plan that incorporates a living room, kitchen, and dining area, and at its center, a set of floor-to-ceiling glass doors that look right out onto the river. “Everything in the room, from the bright white paint to the furniture and the art, was chosen to harmonize with the view,” says Hampton. “I did not want anything to take away from it.” The home is a vacation house, so the designer chose furnishings that are well made but budget-friendly and fabrics and accessories in a palette of pale blues and soothing greens—”colors that reflect those outside without trying to compete with them,” Hampton says. Because of the home’s small size, he also looked for furniture that would do double duty. (In the dining area, a custom upholstered bench, which serves as both seating and storage, is just one example.) He found local help in all of this, especially with the art, thanks to Debbie Chatfield of Chatfield Design. “One day shortly after we bought the house, there was a knock on the door. It was Debbie, whose office is just around the corner. Being a Southerner—Debbie grew up in Louisiana—she wasn’t shy about coming over to say hello, especially as she’d heard that the new owner was a designer, too. We hit it off immediately, and thanks to her I not only got a line on the best artists and craftspeople in the area, but also had a chance to meet them.” One of Hampton’s favorite pieces came out of this friendship: a large oil-on-canvas chart of Penobscot Bay by Paul Fenton that hangs in the dining area. “It’s a constant reminder,” he says, “both because of the artist and the subject matter, of where I am: a place whose landscape and people I’ve come to love.”

A Charming Classic Cottage Louise Hurlbutt Hurlbutt Designs hurlbuttdesigns.com

his two-bedroom home is actually the former Cape Porpoise post office. “I wanted it to stay very much a Maine coastal cottage,” says Louise Hurlbutt of Hurlbutt Designs, who added V-groove paneling along with fabrics in blue and white with pop of coral to keep the classic coastal look. The biggest design challenge was the home’s small footprint. Hurlbutt worked with architectural design firm William Ross Design and construction manager Diversacorp to squeeze in two bedrooms with en suite baths, as well as a round dining room table with a custom banquette and a powder room with a stackable washer and dryer in a closet. She designed the home both to take advantage of beautiful views of the garden in the summer and for comfortable seating around a fireplace in the winter, finishing the rooms with antiques and unique lighting for visual interest. “It is compact, and wonderful for a couple to be able to have everything they need within one block: Cape Porpoise Kitchen, Bradbury Bros. Market, a church across the street, the library, gift shopping at Farm and Table, dining at Musette, the Atlantic Hall, and nearby views of the ocean,” she says. “One could not ask for anything more!”

ART SPOTLIGHT EDITED BY BRITTANY COST

O N E S T O WAT C H Five standout artists to keep your eye on

“Wooden spools in a drawer sparked my decade-long exploration of paintings depicting connections among women, sewing, and fashion. The series Threads, Bodices, and Body Language is the result of this evolving inspiration. The images communicate timeless narratives layered in meaning, recalling a past when one owned few but finely tailored garments, as well as our presentday, wardrobe-filled world. My intention is to engage the viewer in a dialogue about the beauty, power, function, and art of fashion, and examine how an article of clothing makes us feel: how it can intrigue, provoke, amuse, define, or reinvent us. This ongoing theme explores the broader issues of image, identity, sexuality, and politics. It confronts the obsession with style and trend, and the enormity of today’s garment industry, crossing all cultural borders. We are asked to pause and question, ‘Where are our clothes made?’ and to consider the choices we make when purchasing our attire. The bodices and figures are painted in thin, transparent layers of oils on collaged sewing pattern paper, allowing the all-important markings and multilingual text to remain visible, and paying homage to the tactile process of sewing.”

A . J. BUECHE

Untitled, 2017, oil on canvas, 24” x 24” “I feel compelled to paint; I’m not sure why. Most often, I paint landscapes, seascapes, or cityscapes with varying degrees of abstraction. I like to challenge myself. There is satisfaction in approaching things from different perspectives and reaching satisfactory conclusions. My process changes over time, but I like to work on small series of paintings, and I try to avoid repetition. I think painting can mean more than representation. Artist statements seem to attempt to explain the inexplicable and justify objects that don’t need justification. They try to codify a process that cannot be described adequately, reveal to the reader a ‘soul’ that is impossible to reveal, and report a state of being that is changing constantly. I like oil paint. Oil paint has qualities that make it more malleable than other media. It is basic. It is comfortable. It is limitless. I paint with gouache and watercolor when I can’t paint with oils. I believe that people interact with art in ways that can be meaningful, delightful, thoughtful, disgraceful, provoking, inspiring, disturbing, challenging, instructive, enjoyable, and worthwhile, and in many more ways too. Each person possesses unique traits as well as individual life experiences that affect how they view a work of art. Each person sees and reacts to individual works differently, yet we still share many commonalities.”

BRENDA CIRIONI

Barn Series: Honor, 2017, mixed media on panel, 40” x 48” “My latest paintings are about structural stability—both internal and external—and how it relates to the concept of home. Having a safe and secure home impacts us all physically and emotionally when we’re children, and we carry that impact throughout our lives. My newest paintings in Barn Series and Dream House explore the home environment and our connection to the world. I juxtapose a singular structure against organic form and use the house icon as a counterpoint to my energetic and chaotic natural surroundings. My selection of materials—repurposed house paint, fabric and wallpaper remnants, and other debris— reflects my interest in the environment. I’ve always collected branches, rocks, feathers, and nests off the ground. Now I pick up what others have thrown away; I collect discarded clothing and wallpaper remnants. These bits of discarded paper, wrappers, fabric, and various oddments allow me to give new life to that which would otherwise be in a landfill. My method of layering draws attention to the multiplicities and mysteries of nature.”

AMY POLLIEN

Bass Harbor Cliff, Descent, 2017, oil on panel, 36” x 24” “In May and June of 2017, I hiked the trails around Bass Harbor in Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island. From the cliffs, there is a view out to the horizon and more than 50 feet down to the incoming tide. Through repeat visits, I have witnessed the change of tide and spray on windy days, as they cover and then reveal the rocks beneath. The vegetation clinging to the cliff face started out green and lush, then dried under the wind and heat of full-on summer. I think about the geology of the downeast coast, the forces that have acted on the landscape we know today, and how the land will change over the next hundred or thousand years. Observing the coastal edge of Mount Desert Island provides a perspective on time and distance that informs my work.”

KIM CASE

The Reader, 2017, oil on canvas, 36” x 48” “The positive and negative aspects of moving frequently as a girl have had enormous influence on my art, even all these years later. I’m always carrying around a longing for where I’ve been, coupled with a deep appreciation for new places and vistas. Raised in a dozen cities around the world, we always returned to this corner of it to reboot. Maine’s fresh air, intense beauty, open space, big skies, and sense of safety are all recurrent themes that I try to capture in my paintings. Every artist I see is an inspiration because I now understand the dedication it takes to live as an artist. Lately I’ve begun incorporating figures into my landscapes, inching toward portraiture. Painting people was a certain leap for me—not only did I want to represent recognizable features, but also to reveal a personality, with restraint. I wanted to show, not tell. But no matter where it takes me, the satisfaction of creating something from nothing but a blank canvas and a few tubes of paint will keep me returning to the easel.” MH+D For more information, see Resources on page 134.

REAL ESTATE

A Classic Cottage in Kennebunk In a new neighborhood in Kennebunk, a shingle-style property makes waves by Brittany Cost // Photography by Jonathan Reece

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 139

140 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

t Commodore’s Landing in Kennebunk, developer Michael Spenlinhauer of Seaport Development envisioned a distinctive property that would capture a buyer in search of a high-quality forever home. Located in a wooded 13lot enclave of beautiful homes a half-mile from Dock Square, the 2,400-square-foot home features a first-floor owners’ suite, three additional bedrooms including a potential second-floor owners’ bedroom, and a 400-foot unfinished space above the garage that can be used as a home office, media room, or playroom, allowing for “extra flexibility,” Spenlinhauer says. An open-concept living area encourages spending family time together, while a flexible layout means that the property can fit the unique lifestyle of the buyer. Meticulously planned out, with careful attention and thoughtfulness paid to each detail, the property was designed by Erik Peterson of Peterson Design Group in conjunction with Spenlinhauer, and built by Kevin Lord of Thomas and Lord, a collaboration resulting in an elegant, well-designed home that will last for generations. “This is a special home featuring the finest millwork, custom cabinetry, and subtle yet beautiful landscaping,” says Andrew Tripp of Thomas and Lord. “The architectural details make it an attractive street presence, and it integrates perfectly with the whole neighborhood.” Anthony Catalfano, principal of Anthony Catalfano Interiors in Boston and owner of Anthony Catalfano Home in Wells, decorated the property in “New England style with a contemporary feeling.” Catalfano incorporated clean lines and surprising textures into the casual, coastal design scheme, such as nickel-gap walls behind the fireplace and in the bedroom. “We want people to feel like they’re on

vacation,” says Catalfano. “It’s casual, light, and simple.” Hardwood flooring throughout resembles cerused oak, complementing the beachy wooden armchairs in the living area, while the squarearmed sofa and cement coffee table add unexpected elements to the decor. Interior architectural details include pilasters and beams on the first floor. Colors range from white to warm browns and beiges, accented by blue touches. Natural light flows openly through bay windows in the living area and stairway alcove. The result is an ambience that is comforting and traditional without being dull or overly formal. On the exterior, classic cottage-style detailing provides interest and originality. Echoing turn-of-the-century styles, gambrel rooflines create architectural variety. Corbels and brackets add depth and shadow play to the design, and butter yellow flared shingles, curving into a wave pattern on the gable, contribute to the coastal-meets-colonial-revival aesthetic. An arched front-covered entry ensures that guests are welcomed graciously, even in inclement weather. To the side of the house, a covered porch provides space for homeowners to relax outdoors in the summertime. Peterson notes that the garage is set back from the front plane of the house so as not to displace the facade as the central point of focus, a traditional detail “often lost in modern houses.” Although its appearance may entice potential buyers to visit the property, it’s the caliber of the construction and design that will inspire them to make it their home. “With this project, I wanted to do something that I’m proud of, and I wanted to make sure it had a high standard of quality,” says Spenlinhauer. By all measures, he succeeded.

NO SMALL FE AT

uilding codes limited this livable little house to no larger than 750 square feet. Within that small footprint, the owner wanted to maximize her book storage, include wall space for artwork, and create a cozy single-floor living space with simple and clean lines, a generous shower, and easily accessible storage for aging in place. The site slopes down toward the water, which allows the house to nestle gently into the grade. From the road side, a simple facade invites you in. From the water side, a more substantial modern facade with large windows pushed into the corners peeks through the trees. Off the living room, an at-grade patio provides expanded living space in the summer months and a convenient place to let the dog outside all year long. The walk-out basement will remain unfinished, providing space for the mechanical system and storage. An extremely energy-efficient design and triple-glazed windows make the house comfortable, no matter the outside weather. With dramatic cathedral ceilings, wallto-wall shelving, and glimpses of water through the abundant expanse of windows, the home serves as a cozy retreat for the book-loving owner. MH+D
