“The best design is a result of collaboration. In this kitchen renovation, the client wanted to use an antique marble “Specialites” sign, a housewarming gift from friends. The basket weave marble that we chose to frame the sign is a perfect combination of texture, color and finish. Marble is classic and a great choice for any style.” Bronwyn Huffard - Huffard House ▲ DuChâteau Hardwood

feel fortunate to be joining the staff of Maine Home+Design just in time for the annual Art Issue. I moved to Portland five years ago from New York City looking for a better work/life balance. As a writer and editor for art, design, and architecture publications, the area is a good match because I don’t have to give up being surrounded by great art and design. Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours debating with colleagues and friends about the difference between art and design. Architects and designers set out to solve problems—their ultimate goal is to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing design—but painters and sculptors are also problem solvers. An artist uses their medium to express a feeling, but the work also needs to fit certain criteria and look a particular way. In this issue, we showcase what happens when great art and design come together. (Hint: the result is beautiful.) This month we will take you through homes that are remarkable not only because of their design but also because they hold extraordinary pieces of art. One couple’s art collection was the

Danielle Devine Managing Editor ddevine@mainehomedesign.com photos © Jeﬀ Roberts 30 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

main inspiration behind their forever home in Kennebunk (New Life, page 74). In another story, we find out what happens when an artist needs to rebuild. When artist Amy Lowry’s old farmhouse was damaged by a flood, she used the opportunity to create a space that will one day be a gathering place for artists of various mediums (Returning Home, page 90). We also discover in this issue why celebrated artist Lois Dodd has been painting windows for the last 50 years from her studio in Cushing (Profile, page 66). And finally, Thos. Moser furniture, which is often likened to sculpture, is truly a blend of art and design. The Moser family has opened their family home to give us a peek at the art on their grounds (Art All Around, page 120). I look forward to sharing some of the best design in Maine with you every month. Now that I’ve introduced myself, I hope we can start a conversation. Let’s keep the door open—write to me and share your design stories, and follow me on Instagram @danielledevinemhd.

What is your favorite work of art in your house? “One of my favorite pieces of art in my house (aside from the ever-growing collection made by my daughter) is a limited-edition print by William Wegman titled Vacationland featuring two dogs in a sloop out for a sail on a beautiful Maine day. I especially loved when my daughter first noticed it and said, wide-eyed and incredulous, ‘Mom those two dogs are driving a boat!’” Rebecca Falzano, Editor-in-Chief

“I am named for my great grandmother, Emma Jerome Wilson. In 1903 she lost a son. In that era (and there are current practices as well) she used her grief and artistic talents to build this chair, ‘A Grieving Chair.’ The idea being that, by the time she was finished with it, she would have had time to process her loss and to create a place for her son in the home. She carved each piece and then used woodburning techniques to inscribe patterns and our family tree, dating back to 1488. The crest on the front is the Atwater crest and represents our lineage. My father recently passed this chair along to me. Many practices, primarily used by women in that day—wood burning, embroidery, lace—are considered craft, but I would say that these are lost arts. This is my most treasured piece of art.” Emma Wilson, Managing Director Art Collector Maine

D E S IG N W I RE Chilton Furniture Co. has recently redesigned its Freeport showroom in a warm, minimalist style. After removing the fraying carpet, Jen and Jared Levin, the company’s owners, finished the existing concrete floors and replaced the fluorescent lighting with LED bulbs, promoting sustainability and creating a softer ambience. New walls and increased shelving offer more opportunities to highlight Chilton’s classic furniture designs, as well as its newer Shaker and Scandinavianinspired pieces.

Dustan Tap and Table, owned by Brian and Jen Brenerman (who also own Shay’s Pub Grill in Portland), will be opening soon at Scarborough’s Dunstan Crossing development. The new design mixes rugged elements including floor-to-ceiling barn doors built by Nat Towl, poured-concrete floors and bar top, and custom powder-coated barn lights, as well as unique details such as brightly colored glazed tile and wallpaper accent walls.

CREATIVITY UNDER PRESSURE ARCHITECT JOCELYN BOOTHE ON PROBLEM SOLVING, ACCEPTING FEEDBACK, AND STAYING INSPIRED

“I

think there is an idealized vision of architects and architecture as a profession,” says Jocelyn Boothe of WBRC Architects/Engineers. “Successful architecture is not just about creativity and innovation and form-plus-function. It’s also about the ability to listen, communicate, and lead a diverse group of people through a complex process.” MH+D asks Boothe to tell us more.

IN MH+D’S CONTINUING COLLABORATION WITH AIA MAINE, WE PRESENT TO YOU EACH MONTH A DESIGN CONCEPT FROM AN ARCHITECT’S POINT OF VIEW.

fine interiors

Q. A.

What experiences shaped your approach to architecture? My first memory involving architecture was watching my parents fire their architect. They had chosen a local architect to design their dream home. Despite being told that my parents did not care for gambrel-style houses, the architect brought plans of a gambrel house to meeting after meeting. When he was unwilling to change the style, he was paid, thanked for his time, and sent on his way. That lesson has stuck with me. Whether it is a house, a hospital, or a music venue, it is the client’s vision that is important, not the architect’s. Everyone sees the world differently, and as a designer, you need to be able to give up your ego and bring to life someone else’s dream.

Q. A.

What else does it take to succeed as an architect? You need to learn not to take rejection too personally. My first job out of graduate school was doing health care design at a large firm in Washington, D.C. Our team had worked really hard on a concept design for a hospital, and I was responsible for presenting it to the board of directors. There was some negative feedback, and I took it personally— so personally that I went deaf to all the other useful (and mostly good) feedback they gave. I remember driving back to the office with my boss. I expressed my disappointment to her, and she bluntly told me that I needed thicker skin if I was going to succeed in this profession. In her mind, the meeting had gone well. I’m still working on that.

You’re a project architect and project manager, so you spend a lot of time problem solving and serving as the “ringleader”— something that people often don’t realize. How do you do that while staying fresh creatively?

People often think being an architect is primarily about aesthetics, but much of my time is spent on organization. It requires coordinating a team and keeping information going to the right people at the right time. A good leader won’t just say what needs to happen; he or she says why. Everyone needs to find a way that works for him or her to stay creative. I make it a practice to really look at the world around me. I try to keep a travel journal whenever I go someplace new. I find that, if I take the time to make a sketch of what I’m looking at, even if it’s just a bird or fallen leaves, I’ll often see it in a different way. It’s also important to be around other creative people, and Maine has an amazing design community. When my husband, who is also an architect, and I moved to Maine three years ago, we were blown away by the number of design firms, professional organizations, and social groups. There is an exceptional dedication to the betterment of the community at AIA Maine and other groups, and, in turn, the community is invested in its own growth and development. We’ve enjoyed attending seminars, mentoring groups, and social events centered on the built environment.

Q. A.

What do you enjoy most about your profession? I love making the pieces of a program fit together and finding a concept that can unify the project elements. I really enjoy leading a diverse group and weaving all the disciplines and specialty consultants together. I love the iterative process: how a project develops and changes until it finds its own truth. Despite my early career experience, attending client meetings and getting honest feedback has become one of my favorite parts of the design experience.

LIGHTENED UP Linda Banks of Simply Home and Banks Design Associates updates her kitchen without changing its structure

“T

welve years ago, when I renovated my newly acquired ranch, the kitchen was one of my most exciting challenges. Back then, it was bold to have rich, chocolate-brown waxed floors, and I was tired of what I call the “bowlingalley blonde” look—those yellowish natural oak and maple floors that seem to belong in a bowling alley. I wanted to pair light marble countertops with the new dark floors, but my family persuaded me to choose black honed granite instead. The result was rich and elegant, and we enjoyed it for many years. By the time I became an empty nester, though, I was ready for a change. Recently I decided to give the room a face-lift to lighten it up. Without changing my signature blue cabinetry or the architecture, I completely refreshed the space with three simple updates: new lighting, countertops, and floor finish. No structural work—no plumbing, electrical, or construction— was required. When I finished the floors, it felt like magic, how the room became instantly pale and serene. The transparent stain is like a layer of lightgray tissue paper, translucent and watery, allowing the grain of the ash wood to come through. With a new floor finish, the space felt lighter than air. I decided to take the next step, even though I had originally planned to change only the floors. I shopped around and chose statuary white marble for the countertops, a marble with gray veins and a clearer white background than Carrara marble. I replaced the island top and sink area with the new stone. For the final touch, I chose two pleated, frosted-glass pendants by Artemide that are simple and transitional in style, and they create an ethereal glow in the room. Everything I did was superficial, yet it transformed my kitchen. When I entertain now, the island is like a magnet—guests are attracted to it—and when I’m home alone, I use it as my personal workstation. Homeowners today want light, airy, and clean spaces, like my kitchen. Updating the space was like choosing a new hairstyle or shortening an evening gown into a minidress. The kitchen still feels like it’s mine, but it also feels brand new, no major renovation required.” —Linda Banks, owner of Simply Home and Banks Design Associates MH+D

Lois Dodd in a bedroom she calls the “Painted Room” at her home in Cushing.

BY SUSAN AXELROD | PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHRISTINA WNEK

WINDOW ON HER WORLD In Cushing, New York City, and New Jersey, Lois Dodd paints just what she sees

ois Dodd’s studio in Cushing is like a giant’s shadowbox, layered with treasures. Bleached animal bones rest on a beam, well-used palettes mottled with bright splotches of paint hang from a nail, and a vase holds spiky dried flowers, collected, no doubt, from the lush garden outside. Dozens of the artist’s paintings and drawings are casually displayed against the whitewashed walls of what was once a barn. Canvases of various sizes are stacked on handmade shelves, organized as a bibliophile might arrange a collection of prized books. Dodd has been painting here for more than 50 years, or, more accurately, she has painted outside these walls, capturing the ordinary beauty in her Maine landscape: a pink towel on a clothesline against the green shingles of a chicken coop, bright yellow sunflowers with a backdrop of blue sky. “I go out there with my folding French easel and my folding chair; I like being outside, because you have to be more rapid and not fall asleep on the job,” she says with a chuckle. “Inside I can dicker around with something for days and I’m not sure I’m improving anything.” At 91, Dodd is a celebrated American painter, and an elected member of both the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the National Academy of Design. She has taught at Brooklyn College, Colby College, and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and her paintings are in the collections of the Bowdoin College Museum of Art, the Colby College Museum of Art, the Farnsworth Art Museum, and the Portland Art Museum, among others. Her work is regularly shown at the Alexandre Gallery in New York City and the Caldbeck Gallery in Rockland. Dodd is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Maine

in America Award, an award previously given to artists such as Andrew Wyeth, Dahlov Ipcar, and Dodd’s good friend, Alex Katz. It was Katz, a longtime resident of Lincolnville, who introduced Dodd to Maine in 1951, when they drove up from New York with Dodd’s husband, Bill King, and Katz’s wife, Jean Cohen, to spend the summer. The group of artists had become friends while studying at Cooper Union, and Katz, Cohen, and King had all been scholarship students at the Skowhegan School. “We began by renting cottages from Bill Cummings of the Lakewood Theater colony [across the lake from the Skowhegan School, which Cummings also owned],” Dodd recalls. She and King had a son, Eli, in 1952 and were divorced not long afterward. In the summer of 1954, Dodd purchased a house with Katz and Cohen in Lincolnville. About a decade later, she bought her house in Cushing. “It was the first place I looked at,” she says. “My son was 12, and he wanted to have a sailboat, and the Saint George River is right there.” Now Dodd is in residence in Maine from early June through much of October. She spends the rest of the year at her loft on Second Street in lower Manhattan, decamping to a house in Blairstown, a rural corner of her native New Jersey, on the weekends. In all three locations, Dodd paints what she sees. “Everything just near at hand has become a subject,” she says. “I’m not very good at imagining anything—I have to see it.” When Dodd and I talk on the phone in January, she is in Blairstown, staying in the country for a bit while her loft is being renovated. A recent cold snap has created an ice jam in the Delaware River where it winds through the Delaware Water

Gap near her home. She’s inspired to paint the scene from photographs. “It’s cheating, but it’s that time of year,” she says. “When you look at the sides of those big chunks of ice, they’re really turquoise. I’m drawn to those strong shapes.” When I ask what’s on her easel at the moment, the answer is no surprise. “The window right here,” Dodd replies. Painted in numerous ways, windows are her signature subject. “Sometimes I’m inside of them, sometimes outside,” she says. Shed Window (2014) highlights the geometry of an old six-over-six window with missing panes, centered on a shingled exterior wall mottled with moss. The squares where the glass is missing are painted black, revealing nothing of what’s inside the shed. In Night Sky Loft (1973), a cityscape is visible outside the corner of a window in a sparsely furnished room. Bisected by bare tree branches, the view includes illuminated windows in nearby buildings and the moon in a gray sliver of sky. “Windows are a frame; the scene is already composed, you don’t have to decide where the edge is going to be,” says Dodd.

Another recurring Dodd subject is flowers, often painted in close detail as if viewed through a magnifying glass. Earlier in her career, she was drawn to the patterns on black and white dairy cows. While figure paintings are rare for her, they sometimes result from figure drawings she does in the summers in Cushing. “We have a model who poses outside for a group of us who meet once a week, including Susan and Tim Van Campen [husband and wife artists who live in Thomaston],” she says. “We’ve used the same model for 20 years.” Continuity and pattern are central to both Dodd’s work and her character. “She finds comfort and variety in the familiar,” writes author Faye Hirsch in the book Lois Dodd. In a few months, Dodd will be back in Cushing for another summer with her easel and folding stool, out in the landscape she knows so intimately. “I don’t paint well away from my own stomping grounds,” she says.

New Life Art, antiques, and other collectibles recombine in a renovated Kennebunk Cape

by Debra Spark Photography by Myriam Babin 74 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

Pat Keck’s whimsical sculpture of a cage containing a lion and a man in a bowler hat (opposite) hangs above the breakfast table. Keck also makes automatons and was a founding member of the World Sculpture Racing Society, which ran street race/art events in the 1980s. A painting by the nineteeth-century French painter Felix Ziem hangs above a fireplace in the den (above). The homeowners bought the piece at auction and plan on donating it to Colby College. The mountain goat sculptures on the mantel are inlaid with bronze. The pair was acquired by the husband’s grandparents. In the renovation, a coffer ceiling was added to this room.

he retired lawyer’s license plate reads Aftermath. Ditto the stone plaque on the column marking the drive to the home he and his physician wife own in Kennebunk (in addition to primary residences in Wellesley, Massachusetts, near where she practices, and Naples, Florida). Customarily suggesting a time after troubles, “aftermath” also refers to the second growth that appears on a mown field. The latter connotation appealed to the lawyer–physician couple, who purchased their home in part to prepare for the next stage of their lives: with their son having graduated college, their sights were set on Maine for their older age. Near Mother’s Beach, the Kennebunk house had originally been the barn and workshop of Hank Spaulding, a famed Boston developer, whose sons later converted the structure into a two-story Cape fronted with three doghouse dormers. Ten years ago, when the couple bought the place, they wanted to make space for a 1,200-bottle wine collection from their Wellesley house, so they turned to architect David Graham of Graham Architects in Kennebunkport for a wine cellar, as well as an accompanying great room and outdoor patio. The wine racks were made of mahogany and teak, and the bordering great room had bluestone floors, partial stone walls, an inside/outside stone fireplace, and a fir-lined

canopy ceiling. Five years later, the homeowners returned to Graham for an additional and “pretty aggressive design program,” as he puts it, one complicated by the tightness of the lot and the existence of a “paper street” on town plans, which meant there was a sewer line just where they would otherwise have wanted to build. For the initial renovation, the builder had to build lower into the site. Now Spang Builders of Kennebunkport had to build up, while reorganizing existing spaces. As Clayton Spang describes it, the to-do list was lengthy, given the couple’s desire to reconfigure the first and second floor; make bedrooms more commodious; design spots for existing art; incorporate an elevator for aging in place; add a thirdfloor conical roof for an office landing, a sunny sitting room (with wraparound views), and a bathroom with attached sauna; upgrade finishes; redo the kitchen; add a pool; and integrate two separate exterior deck areas. And these were just the functional wants. For the design, the husband hoped to extend aspects of the first renovation (like the fir ceiling and white column detailing) into other areas and to use existing furniture and objects from the Kennebunk house and the now-downsized Wellesley house in a seamless way. All of this was a particular challenge given the varied nature of what was being combined. The husband comes from a MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 75

Once a Cape with three doghouse dormers, this Kennebunk home (above) was renovated in two stages. New exterior features visible here include a third floor with conical roof, a pergola by the front entry, and stone pillars with gas lanterns at the entrance to the drive. Neutral upholstery, graphic pillows, and oatmeal-colored drapery reflect how the interior design of the living room (opposite) was inspired by both the palette of the homeowners’ existing pieces, including the black and neutral Oriental rug, and the new black granite fireplace.

As currently appointed, the house is full of art, sculpture, Oriental rugs, custom and antique furniture, precious objects (such as an elaborate Mardi Gras mask), and curiosities (including shark’s teeth, a ventriloquist’s doll, and a gigantic tortoise shell). The art is largely, though not entirely, contemporary and can be frankly dark (like the large apocalyptic painting of beekeepers by David Pettibone in the den) or whimsical (like the sculpture of a man and a lion in a cage that hangs above the breakfast table, by Pat Keck) or pleasingly strange (like the partial face of Picasso painted on a piece of framed driftwood by Virginia Peck, hanging in the owners’ bedroom.) “We buy what we like,” says the husband. “I am pretty obsessive-compulsive. I do research before I go to an auction. I look in advance. Sometimes people don’t know what they’re looking at, or they have spent their allotment earlier in auction, or they got tired and have left. You would be surprised what you can pick up.” The husband’s collecting success only intensified the design challenge, however. How to combine a late 1700s 76 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

antique cellaret (a stand for wine bottles), a marble-topped French console table with bronze edging, an Al Hirschfeld cartoon of Brideshead Revisited, a nineteenth-century painting of the Doge’s palace in Venice, a tiger maple custom four-poster bed, and a Louise Nevelson intaglio and stencil on handmade Japanese paper? For help, the couple turned to Melissa Freeman and Louise Hurlbutt of Hurlbutt Designs in Kennebunk. Freeman notes that, when you have work that is not unified by period, you can find a color or design through-line that helps you make effective combinations. The Japanese-inspired pergolas that had been added at the front entry and as part of the parking area during the first stage of the renovation inspired Art Deco choices for the house, including select sconces and mirror-framed mirrors for bathrooms, as the clean lines of one style matched the other. Freeman offers another example when describing the evolution of the living room design. Only one of the homeowners’ existing rugs, a black and neutral Oriental, would fit the space. The husband was already hoping to redo the previous rustic stone fireplace with a more classic wood surround and black granite base. The rug and

A corner of the living room features Ralph Lauren chairs covered in silk. “We tried to marry the beautiful things they had with new pieces,” says Melissa Freeman of Hurlbutt Designs, noting how the room was shaped around these chairs and a rug, all of which the homeowners already owned at the time of the second renovation. Model boats appear throughout the house, including behind a credenza in this room and on a nearby built-in bar. Some of the homeowners’ furniture was damaged in a move, including this antique bedside chest, once part of a set. Freeman replaced the broken top with a marble similar to that used for the front column of the chest. She sourced the remnant at Maine Marble and Granite. The encaustic above is by Shoshannah White and was purchased from Corey Daniels Gallery in Wells.

fireplace palette then drove the rest of the design. Freeman selected black petrified-wood side tables to add a natural component. With the black element in place, she considered existing furniture to see about additional neutrals. Clean lines were already part of the program, so she picked geometric Kelly Wearstler fabric for throw pillows. For continuity, what was going on in the living room was echoed elsewhere in the house, as in the black partial throw on the owners’ bed upstairs. As for other examples of continuity: the house’s collectibles include animal skulls and other objects with horns, so a Visual Comfort lighting series that has arms suggestive of horns was used for the dining table chandelier, the stairwell, and select sconces. Plaid fabric (for a pair of wood-framed English chairs with ram’s head armrest carvings) serves to dress down the formal antique piece and accentuate colors in the great room’s

Oriental rug. Upstairs, the plaid was also used on the built-in mudroom bench, where the fabric colors echo the palette of a contemporary framed textile of a mermaid whose body is full of fish. Such patterning happens many times throughout the house. One notable new item is a built-in dry bar of cherry made in part to showcase a boat model, another item the couple collects. Otherwise, interior design additions were largely made by way of knitting items together through new upholstery, lamps, paint colors, drapes (“which complete a room,” says Hurlbutt), and occasionally wallpaper, such as the grass cloth that distinguishes the dining room walls from the adjoining rooms. Outside, Ted Carter of Ted Carter Inspired Landscapes of Buxton did his own knitting together, integrating the terrace built during the initial renovation with a renovated upper MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 79

A separate water feature spills over a flat granite face wall (hugged by two hardy Schoodic jack pines) and into a lower stone catchment area. The effect is “to introduce sound and movement,” Carter says, “to an otherwise static surface.” Away from the house, the homeowners worked with others to sight a seven-foot-long stone Joseph Wheelwright sculpture of a partial moon face, a 37,000-pound granite arch made by Alan Webster, and two sizable fieldstone planters by Magna Design Group.

pick. On his own, the husband says, he might have opted for beachfront. The wife’s favorite aspect of the house is wonderfully unexpected: she cites the new switchback stairway for its pleasing relationship of stair rise to tread length, something David Graham says that he and Ted Carter puzzled over at length, as they did the fieldstone risers and bluestone treads of the outdoor steps that make an appealing visual and spatial transition between terraces. What makes the wife most happy, though, relates to her husband and suggests great promise for their life together here: “It’s that he loves this place,” she says.

Amy renovated this historic barn to accommodate a garage and studio on the first floor and an open space upstairs. Currently used for storage, the second floor could be converted to other uses in the future. Note the original 24-pane barn window and the garden rock, which was removed from under the barn when a new foundation was poured.

HOME After a flood, an artist repairs and rethinks an old farmhouse by Debra Spark | Photography by Erin Little

brutally cold winter and a late oil delivery—one plus the other equals bad news, and in January 2014, that bad news fell on the ears of Richard Lane of R.A. Lane Construction. He received a handful of phone calls from people who noticed a giant slick of water—or what some described as an expanding iceberg—in front of Elmwood Farm, the Camden property owned by artist Amy Lowry, who at the time commuted between Chicago and Maine. Lane knew the house with its ell and attached barn well. Between 2009 and 2011, he’d worked on a minor renovation of the house, and with the architecture firm Scholz and Barclay Architecture, on a major renovation of the oversized barn. The latter was reconfigured as a garage space and artist’s studio on the ground floor and a possible event space on the second. This involved structural work, including jacking up the barn and pouring a new foundation, replacing the windows and siding, repairing the cupola, and adding a balcony, which offers beautiful views of the back lawn, nearby woods, and hills. Now Lane had a considerably less desirable job. He called plumber Tim Hall of Seacoast Plumbing and Heating, and the two made their way over to Lowry’s house. What they found was a disaster: water spraying out from a pipe under the kitchen sink, the living room and family room ceilings collapsed onto soaking furniture, pink insulation spilled everywhere. The two men didn’t even try to walk into the basement; it was full of water.

If Lowry’s next renovation plans had been focused on completing the second floor of the barn, she now had more basic work to do, all of which, she says, she found physically and emotionally wrenching. She started to commute regularly to Maine to oversee the process. Lane was overcommitted for the season, far too busy for what the house needed, which was everything, so his colleague Robert Staples, a carpenter from Warren, stepped in, stripped the house back to its studs, and started rebuilding. There were standard complications—proliferating mold, the insurance company’s low repair estimates—and the bigger complication of retaining the house’s original historic character while allowing it to be what it had been all along: a showplace for Lowry’s creative, eclectic, busy mind. Lowry is a painter and children’s book author, as well as a maker of objects, collector of art, assembler of curiosities, frequenter of flea markets, and inheritor of antiques. She owns the work of major American artists, three of whom—Tom Wesselmann, Will Barnet, and Duane Michals—Lowry modeled for when she lived in New York in her 20s, and some of whom have Maine connections, such as Joyce Tenneson and Tom Burckhardt. Lowry’s house and studio are full of antiques, paintings, photographs, art books, and wooden boxes whose cubbies are filled with items like a plastic doll’s head, a turtle shell, an antique insect repellant container, and other oddities. Her possessions inspire wonder and questions, all invariably

The dining room includes family antiques, like the painting to the right of the door, which once hung in Lowry’s sister’s childhood bedroom. Lowry painted the door to the basement with chalk paint. Among the antiques in the room are an early nineteenth-century American brass chandelier and an eighteenth-century Irish wake table surrounded by Hitchcock chairs. The antiques were inherited from Lowry’s grandmother, Lillian Schueler, who ran an antiques store on Route 1.

(Opposite, clockwise from top left) The artist with Red Right Returning, a series of paintings on salvaged boards from her once-flooded house. The project came about when Lowry started to see horizon lines and other images in the grain of the ruined wood. Each image has a bit of red, representing the red buoys that sailors must keep on the right when they return to shore. A screened porch features a vintage Salterini bar cart that has banana leaves and flowers in the design of the wheel. Under the lantern is (left to right) art by Tom Burckhardt, Amy Lowry, Anna Kunz, and Marti McGinnis.

rewarded, as so much of what is in the house comes with a story. An early American painting in the dining room once hung in Lowry’s sister’s childhood bedroom, and the family nicknamed it “The Sour Girl.” Mosaic cakes that Lowry made out of broken china, using a technique called pique assiette, appear throughout the house; they employ cheerful decorative colors, but their visuals reference global warming, war, and similarly dark matters. A large, playful grasshopper illustration in the kitchen was created by Lowry when she was in China. (Lowry bought the farmhouse with her former husband in 1991 to serve as a home base during their four-year stay in Beijing for his job.) Elmwood Farm was built in the late 1700s by a lumberyard owner as a gift for his wife. “The story,” says Staples, “is that he never gave her any gift worth more than five dollars after that.” As one might suspect of a house built at that time, the structure had plaster and lathe walls, posts and beams

made from the region’s king pines, fireplaces in most rooms, and wide pine floorboards. Sadly, four dumpsters’ worth of this material ended up in the trash before renovation could begin. For an outsider visiting the house in 2018, there’s no evidence of damage. If asked to identify what had been added, one would likely mention the swimming pool and stone hot tub outside, the ground-floor bathroom (which incorporates Lowry’s pique assiette in the countertop and shower stall), and parts of the kitchen, such as the slate floor. Upstairs, one bathroom was converted into two. Otherwise, you’d believe the rooms to be original, especially given their period fireplaces, dark paint colors, and wide pine flooring. “He pulled my home down and put it back up,” says a clearly grateful Lowry of Staples. As Staples was tossing wood into dumpsters in the early stages of the repair, Lowry found herself climbing in to MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 95

Lowry purchased the antique Khotan rug, one of several she owns, during the years she lived in China. Part of Lowry’s extensive art collection hangs above a long living room table (above) designed and painted by Lowry and built by Robert Staples using a floorboard salvaged from the flood. The artwork on the wall includes a photograph of Lowry by Duane Michals, a print by Tom Wesselmann, and a gouache by Will Barnet. The former works were gifts from the artists, the latter from Lowry’s mother’s estate. The living room (left) features family antiques and, at the far right, a painting by Daniel Anselmi that Lowry bought from the artist’s Belfast studio.

Lowry designed the kitchen island (above, left), which Robert Staples then built. Antique kitchen tools (including a lemon squeezer) sit atop one of the many small chests that Lowry owns and has painted with chalk paint (above, right). This chest stores silver.

Poole recently completed Maine Media Workshop and College’s Professional Certificate in Visual Storytelling program.

rescue a few of the boards that interested her. Layered with paint, they struck her as full of history, and Lowry was already invested in working with the past. For years, her grandmother ran a well-known antique store in Camden. “Antiques are in my blood,” Lowry says. (They are part of why she favors pique assiette for her cakes. She likes to get history—old china, in this case—into her artwork.) Lowry hung three of the salvaged boards on her studio wall. One night, when the moon was full, and she was drinking cognac, Lowry says, she looked at the boards and saw images suggestive of water and land. Instead of working on blank canvas, as she naturally had in the past, Lowry began to paint on these boards, incorporating the shapes she saw. One piece of wood had

a bit of red paint, which suggested a buoy, helping Lowry to realize her new work was “about safety, returning to safe harbor.” The still-evolving series—called Red Right Returning, the nautical phrase for keeping the red buoy to starboard when returning to shore—will eventually incorporate text, offering the metaphorical narrative of what happened to Lowry after the flood, as the upheaval at the house paralleled an upheaval in her life. Both brought about her decision to live in Maine full-time. Right now, the panels for Red Right Returning fill the center of one wall of Lowry’s studio. But Lowry always jumps from project to project, and that is not the only work space in her studio: In a different area, she assembles her memento boxes. MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 101

In another, those boxes hang. One has doll parts sticking out of coral. Another, a predatory monkey/lizard creature. On one wall, Lowry has hung work by her daughter, Nina Poole: black-and-white minimalist photos covered in encaustic. Multihued flat file cabinets are painted with the same vivid chalk paint that Lowry used for an armoire (built by Staples) and freestanding silverware cabinets in the house. At the center of the room is a low round table with an unfinished Scrabble game, a reminder that things are in process in this room. And that’s all for the good. Lowry’s next project is to develop Elmwood Farm as a space for workshops, salons, and other events—a beautiful property where, as she says, “artists, chefs, writers, musicians, environmentalists, healers, creatives in any medium can gather to collaborate, entertain, hold fund-raisers, share ideas, teach, learn, and be inspired.” A place where unmade things can be made.

Artist Sal Taylor Kydd lives with her husband, Steven Kydd, and their two children, Oliver and Lola, high on a beautiful hill in Rockport. The designers at Jersey Ice Cream Co. located this old white piano, which both of their children play. Above hangs a painting by Kate Register.

FOUND OBJECTS High on a hill in Rockport, artists Steven and Sal Taylor Kydd have created a soulful home for their family, their art, and their ever-growing collection of meaningful, beautiful things By Katy Kelleher Photography by Myriam Babin

hen artist Sal Taylor Kydd goes walking on her 50-acre property in Rockport, she often comes back with pockets full of small treasures— bones, twigs, stones, little precious items that tell little stories. She does the same thing when she goes to visit Matinicus or Swan’s Island on photography missions. “An artist friend and I are talking about casting these in bronze one day,” she says, as she lifts a piece of dried seaweed, a sculptural tangle of organic matter that sits on the windowsill of her studio. “I’m a big collector of small things.” These totems are scattered throughout her airy farmhouse and adjacent studio, reminders of trips taken, walks enjoyed. But instead of feeling out of place in her carefully crafted indoor landscape, these pieces fade into the design, like brushstrokes in a painting. In particular, they meld with the work of designers and craftspeople Tara Mangini and Percy Bright of Jersey Ice Cream Company. Sal’s artifacts, art, and books join forces with Jersey Ice Cream Company’s handmade furniture, refurbished antiques, and softly textured plaster walls to create a space that is harmonious and filled with personality.

“When I first saw the house online, I wasn’t sure what to expect,” Sal remembers. “But when we visited in person, I realized that there was something about the scale of the rooms. The people who owned it before us—the people who built it—were also artists, and it shows.” We’re sitting in her white kitchen drinking cups of tea with milk and a little sugar. As we talk, I examine the Kydds’ stack of cookbooks tucked into the white cabinetry, spotting both Plenty and Plenty More, two beautiful vegetarian anthologies by London-based chef Yotam Ottolenghi. The countertops are filled with plants and vases, and warm brass light fixtures and a graceful copper teakettle temper the all-white affect of the pearlescent tile backsplash and the plaster white walls. The entire space is awash with light, which pours in from the large windows that overlook a gently sloping yard peppered with gnarled fruit trees. Later, Kydd tells me that she hopes to put in a pond someday, a body of water that she can observe from her kitchen window, watch as it reflects the waning yellow daylight. Sal is originally from England. She first came to Maine to visit her father, who lived here with her stepmother, and knew she would one day return. Her

husband, Steven Kydd (a fellow creator and developer of the food app Tastemade), grew up in Maine, and the couple wanted to raise their two school-aged children here, too. During their courtship, they spent summers together on Deer Isle. “Maine has always been a touchstone for us,” Sal says. When they made the decision to transplant their lives from the West Coast—they had been living in California for years— to the Northeast, they did it quickly and ruthlessly. In 2016 they scouted out the house, purchased it, and began renovations, all in a matter of months. The Kydds hired Jay Fischer of Cold Mountain Builders in Belfast to rewire all the electrical; overhaul the heating system; install new flooring, countertops, and built-ins; and manage, schedule, and oversee every aspect of the extensive renovation. Fischer was familiar with the structure; his team had built the contemporary farmhouse, as well as the nearby studio and freestanding bunkhouse/garage, 14 years prior. “They were intent on a complete transformation,” Fischer says. “Steven and Sal brought a lot of fresh ideas about space and how they wanted the house to 106 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

feel and look on the inside. In concert with Tara and Percy, the ideas just exploded.” “I’ve always liked the house,” Fischer adds. “What Steven and Sal wanted to do, and did accomplish in that mad rush of a renovation, was to improve the house in a very interesting and sophisticated way.” According to Fischer, the house has “a new warmth.” He means this both literally and figuratively. Cold Mountain Builders installed white-painted cast-iron radiators in every room. Sal grew up with radiators as a child in England, and she says they make her feel nostalgic and cozy—perfectly at home. “They look right in a house like this,” she says. While the team from Cold Mountain Builders handled much of the contracting work, Mangini and Bright were responsible for the bulk of the aesthetic decisions. They worked closely with the Kydds and Fischer to select all the necessary surface materials, from the soft white marble countertops in the kitchen to the distressed gray vintage mantel in the living room. “It’s not how we usually work,” Mangini admits. “Typically, we come in and do everything

The owner’s suite bathroom (opposite), located on the second story, didn’t originally feature a bathtub, but “we really wanted a big bath,” says Sal. On the wall hang photographs by Sal Taylor Kydd and artist Lara Porzak. Steven Kydd (above) prepares lunch at the kitchen table while the family’s golden retriever, Ringo, watches.

ourselves. We like to take a house from start to finish, doing all the construction, styling—everything.” But since they were on such a tight schedule, Mangini and Bright narrowed their focus, applying their design talents to sourcing furniture, light fixtures, wallpaper, and art, and to building specific features for the creative couple (including a rustic farmhouse dining table and a studio workbench for Sal’s bookmaking projects). “We did a lot of full-wall built-ins, which look timeless and classic and provide space for all their winter shoes and coats,” explains Mangini. “We also did all the plaster, which is a signature of our work. We still went about it in our usual way. But it’s a little bit of a different look from our other projects.” Mangini and Bright played to the house’s strengths—the big windows, the abundance of light—settling on a palette of taupe, dove gray, and ivory. Rather

than buying brand-new furniture, they opted to scour flea markets and antique shows, bringing in pieces that felt well loved and long-used. One standout piece is the antique living room couch that Mangini and Bright purchased at the Brimfield Antique Show in Massachusetts and reupholstered in a deep navy plaid fabric. Another striking element is the distressed wood sideboard that sits against the dining room wall. “When we bought it, the vendor told us it would need to be fixed up and oiled and stained,” Mangini remembers. “I’m so glad we didn’t. It was perfect exactly how it was.” The soft, neutral tones of the main house continue into the garage, the second story of which has been reimagined partly as a guest apartment, complete with two bunk beds, a daybed, and a small dining table. Adjacent is Sal’s studio, where she creates her hand-sewn

(Artists’ studios, I’ve found, often feel a little like small-town churches. They are highly personal places, built for reverent work and spiritual exploration.) As we walk around her studio, Sal picks up a few of her recent pieces, including a softcover book housed in a chocolate brown case called Keepsakes. Inside, a poem unfurls over a number of pages, just a few words to a page, each Lilliputian thought linked to a similarly delicate image: a pussy willow bough, a butterfly wing. “Since moving here, I’ve become much more prolific,” Sal says as she reflects on her body of work, laid out around her in bits and pieces. “I’ve had the space to live with my work, to experiment more.” While her photography has long focused on how her family (particularly her children) interacts with the landscape, she says living in Maine has inspired her to reflect more deeply on how the natural environment alters and shapes human experience. “For me, it’s become about how people’s lives are informed by the place where they live,” she adds. “Living here, being closer to nature, informs everything I do. This house gives me a space to connect, a place where I can be quiet and create.” Here, in this shingle-sided studio on a serene hill miles outside town, Sal and Steven Kydd have carved out a space for something rare: an artful, connected life.

The dining room features a large portrait of Lola. “I think because it’s a picture of a monument, it seemed to make sense to have the photograph printed on a large scale,” says Sal. “That’s unuaul for me; most of my work is on a smaller, more intimate scale.” The table is by Jersey Ice Cream Company and the sideboard is vintage. The paintings hung between the window are by Maine artist Siri Beckman.

Moser, an artist and furniture maker (opposite), works in his studio on a sculpture titled Christina (inspired by Andrew Wyeth’s painting Christina’s World). David Moser and Pamela Hurley-Moser live in this house with their daughter, Sabina, on a 14-acre compound in Harpswell. David’s father, furniture designer Tom Moser, also lives on the property, in a contemporary farmhouse with his wife, Mary Moser. A lifelong craftsman, David did much of the work renovating his house himself, calling in a select group of contractors as needed.

SURROUNDED BY NATURAL BEAUTY, ECHOES OF HISTORY, AND THE FRUITS OF THEIR CREATIVE LABORS, THE MOSER FAMILY HAS BUILT AN UNFORGETTABLE HOME IN HARPSWELL by Katy Kelleher // Photography by Jeff Roberts // Styling by Myriam Babin

n the middle of Dingley Island in Harpswell, there is a wide, low pond shaped like the letter M. It is fed by springs that bubble up through fissures in the bedrock, and although you can stand on its shores and look at the nearby saltwater of Casco Bay, the water in the pond is always fresh, forever clear and clean. It’s this body of water that made Dingley Island a nexus of the ice harvesting industry in the late nineteenth century, explains furniture designer and artist David Moser, who lives in an updated fisherman’s cottage on a grassy hill just a stone’s throw away from the ocean. As we walk along the shores of the pond, he explains how enterprising Mainers once spent their winters sawing at the surface and loading the frigid blocks of frozen water onto a wooden conveyer belt. “It would take the ice from the pond to sea to ship,” Moser says, where it would then sit, insulated by layers of sawdust, until the chilly cargo finally reached the turquoise waters of the Arabian Sea. Wealthy Europeans living in colonized territories would use it to cool their drinks, sipping tropical juices mixed with melted water that originated deep in the earth somewhere half a world away. Stories like this seem to electrify David. Both he and his wife, Pamela Hurley-Moser, are fascinated

with the history of this land, which has been inhabited for hundreds of years. (David delights in finding evidence of the pre-Columbian residents, like caches of quahog and clam shells. During his renovations, he unearthed a rusted flintlock and a coin from 1721.) The Mosers live with their tenyear-old daughter, Sabina, on a 14-acre compound in Harpswell. Thomas Moser, David’s father and founder of famed furniture company Thos. Moser, also lives on the compound, in a contemporary farmhouse with white clapboard siding and cedar shingles, with his wife, Mary. It’s a house built for two, with just two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an indoor swimming pool, and plenty of glorious wood (including reclaimed hardwood flooring sourced from a riverbed in Indonesia and cherry and walnut paneling on the walls). The two Moser men share a yard, a studio (which they call, simply, “the barn”), and a seemingly indefatigable desire to create, build, improve, and invent. David has been working alongside his father since he was eight years old (they have lived together on the Harpswell property since 1998). David’s influence can be seen in the Thos. Moser showrooms in Freeport, Portland, San Francisco, New York, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Boston—he has designed many of their chairs,

Over the years, Tom Moser has worked in many mediums. He made all of these bronze busts (opposite). The busts on the floor are of his four children when they were young, while the busts on the pillars show his children as adults, plus one self-portrait. The two end tables pictured are from the Art Nouveau–inspired Sabina line of Thos. Moser furniture. (This line has since been discontinued.) The floor is made of reclaimed wood sourced from a riverbed in Indonesia. Pamela Hurley-Moser makes cupcakes in the kitchen (above). The space is furnished with Japaneseinspired Edo stools designed by David for Thos. Moser. The cabinets are painted poplar wood, the ceiling has cherry wood paneling, and the floors are cork.

Pamela and David’s house (above) overlooks the pond, which is located on the left, and the ocean, which is to the right. Over the years, David has updated their fisherman’s cottage, adding a large window to the bedroom, a wraparound porch, and several additional rooms. Inside Mary and Tom Moser’s house is a lap pool (opposite), which the whole family uses for recreation and exercise. Tom commissioned a local student to paint the cloudy sky on the walls and ceilings. “The way the stars align in the painting is an exact replica of how the stars aligned on Tom and Mary’s wedding day,” explains David.

tables, beds, and dressers—but even more compelling examples of his handiwork can be found at his home. “This house was built at the turn of the century, and it was a very modest—still is modest—fisherman’s house,” he says. “I would imagine that, had this building been anywhere else, or had anyone else purchased it, it would have been a teardown.” But he adds with a rueful shake of his head, “That’s not us. That’s not where we come from. We’re too pragmatic.” Over the years, David has improved the four-bedroom house little by little, building a room here, redoing a bathroom there. “Not everything can happen at once,” Pam says. “We have to earn a little money, take down another wall. We do it in stages.” The house currently has a semi-open floor plan, though David plans to open the flow up even more. (The couple plans to open up the kitchen and living areas eventually, but that may have to wait until they finish their next big project: a house on Saint John they refer to as the “Maine Annex.”) For the most part, the Mosers do not use contractors. They have

122 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

done the bulk of the work on their primary residence themselves, using a select group of craftspeople as needed and consulting with an architect when it came to adding on a new wing of the house. The question of how to integrate the older parts of the building with his newer additions was always at the forefront of David’s mind. “When something isn’t built from a grand scheme or a blueprint, you have to figure out how to make it feel holistic,” he says. He’s standing in the living room, and he instructs me to look overhead. A curved archway made of figured African mahogany leads from the dining area into the sitting room. “This is my solution. This archway goes between the old,” he says, tapping his foot on the Brazilian cherry floorboards, “and the new,” knocking his hands against the gleaming sapele mahogany of the wall. As we move from the downstairs living room into the dining room, den, then family room, David points out various pieces of Thos. Moser furniture, many of which are prototypes or his own experiments. He has modern sofas, graceful rockers, and a set of dining chairs and a

David and Pamelaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s living room (left) is furnished with a Thos. Moser Vita sofa and loveseat. The fireplace masonry is by their nephew, Mark Slaunwhite. The diamond-shaped window is original to the house, and as a nod to the homeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history, David incorporated several other similarly shaped windows in the addition.

While David works frequently in bronze and wood, he also enjoys creating sculptures from stone (above). His various artworks can be found at Gallery at the Grand in Kennebunk, Portland Art Gallery on Middle Street in Portland, Kimberly Boulon Fine Art Gallery on the island of Saint John, and at Canvas Fine Arts in Boston. Pamela and David’s bathroom (opposite) boasts ocean views, which are visible from the bathtub, as well as a steam shower, a two-person tub, and mahogany paneling throughout.

live-edge dining table made from American black walnut. Occasionally, he reveals tidbits about his design inspiration and process. In the den, a room that’s as cozy and warm as a wooden cocoon, he draws my attention to a framed photograph hanging over a leather sofa. In the photo, his daughter, Sabina, sits cross-legged in a Thos. Moser Vault armchair. He notes the lines of his daughter’s legs in the photo and says, “There’s a significance to how she’s sitting. Her crossed legs are where I found the shape you see in the legs of the chair. The shape of her body informed the shape of the furniture, and later, this same shape informed a sculpture my father did of Sabina.” For David, inspiration does not come like a bolt of lighting or a sudden awakening. It is everywhere around him, embedded in the natural forms of his family and this landscape.

The house is, in David’s words, a “wood lover’s dream,” packed with mahogany, Brazilian cherry, sapele, teak, walnut, and almost 20 other types of wood. But David and Pam’s love for beautiful items goes beyond the everyday items of furniture and flooring. On the wood-paneled walls, they have hung fertility masks from Indonesia, paper umbrellas from Japan, and maritime paintings from the Moser family collection. “We love to mix the old and the new,” Pam says. “Everything in our home has a significance: it reminds us of our travels together as a family, or it was created by a family member.” There are stained glass windows in the kitchen and bathroom, painstakingly cut and set by David’s mother, Mary Moser, and bronze sculptures on the grounds made by Thomas, as well as masonry by Pam’s nephew, Mark Slaunwhite. Like his artistic parents, David

also likes to experiment with various types of materials. He works frequently in clay, bronze, and stone to create largescale sculptures, some of which are available at Gallery at the Grand in Kennebunk, Portland Art Gallery on Middle Street in Portland, Kimberly Boulon Fine Art on the island of Saint John, and Canvas Fine Arts in Boston. Many of his pieces are works in progress, and others he has created for himself and his family to enjoy. These remain on the property, as much a part of the landscape as the yellow pines and the placid pond. There are bronze figures seated behind trees and on boulders, and on the eastern shore of the property, a large billowing stone sail marks a waypoint for sailors competing in a local regatta. Around the back of the house, a small door opens into a Zen garden that overlooks the ocean. When David was renovating, he had to strip the house down to the foundations. “Design is all about making decisions, and I was left with a decision about what to do here once the foundation had been exposed,” he says. “I decided to turn it into my Zen space.” He walks over to rest his hand

on a large granite obelisk. It’s the third in a series of granite sculptures. “You might think these are just three random stones,” David says. He smiles and waits for me to guess the meaning behind these stones. “The three bears?” I joke. “Close,” he says. “You’ve met my family. Here we’ve got me, Pam, and Sabina.” David, I’m learning, is a person who pours his heart into every hunk of clay, block of stone, and piece of wood he touches. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his barn. The sprawling studio space is filled to the brim with tools, books, and works in progress. At the center of the space are three female forms carved from clay. One, reaching and anguished, is clearly inspired by Andrew Wyeth’s painting Christina’s World, while another appears to be swooping down from heaven. “I don’t know if she’s coming to wreak havoc or she’s coming down for a good reason,” he says, staring at his otherworldly sculpture. “I’ll figure it out as I work.” Of course, David also works with wood inside this wellappointed workshop. But right now, his focus is on clay and

David and Pamela’s dining table (below) is made from live-edge walnut. The Edo chairs in American black cherry were custom made to fit the exact height of the table. Tom made the hutch from reclaimed barn boards. David and Pamela’s house is filled with design prototypes, such as this cottage-style dining set, shown on their seasonal porch (opposite).

FOR DAVID, INSPIRATION DOES NOT COME LIKE A BOLT OF LIGHTING OR A SUDDEN AWAKENING. IT IS EVERYWHERE AROUND HIM, EMBEDDED IN THE NATURAL FORMS OF HIS FAMILY AND THIS LANDSCAPE. 128 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

(Opposite, clockwise from top right) In the ceiling of Tom’s den, an azimuth compass points north. A powder room features a stained-glass light fixture and window, both made by Mary. David created this bronze sculpture of his daughter sitting in a Thos. Moser chair after being inspired by a photograph. “Sabina inspired the design of the chair, then the photograph of her sitting in that chair inspired a sculpture,” he explains. “Art comes full circle.” David and Pamela work together on an architectural model of their Saint John house (above). Soon, the house will be available to rent. “We’re thinking of calling it ‘The Maine Escape,’” says David. This freshwater pond (left) is fed by springs that bubble up from the granite bedrock. In the winter, the family uses the pond house as a warming shed for ice-skating. The sculpture in the front is by David and is made from hydrocal plaster.

Davidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brother, Aaron, worked with Tom to build this barn (above). Covered in cedar shingles, this is where David sculpts his bronze figures and carves his stone pieces. David sculpts figures in clay that will later be cast in bronze in his workshop (opposite).

bronze. Furniture design, he explains, isn’t quite as artistically rewarding as sculpting. “When I’m working with clay, it’s pure,” he says. “I work directly from my mind to my hands. It allows me to be much more expressive.” Yet the evidence of his day job is all around us, from the Japanese saws that hang on the wall to the wood shavings scattered on the floor. I run my hand along a workbench and feel the gritty remnants of sawdust. Although I’ve seen much of David’s work, I can’t help but feel as though I’ve only scratched the surface of this nimble creator. And then, as though he were reading my thoughts, David says, “There are so many stories to be told here.” Piece by piece, sculpture by sculpture, he’s working to tell them all.

he open road reveals images for my work. I set out with my camera in an adventurous frame of mind and criss-cross the country. On the fast-moving interstate I discover, quite by accident, the perfect simplicity of a farmhouse or a barn. I am not interested in the details as much as the abstractions: the afternoon sunlight falling off a slanting roof, a patch of tall, forsaken grass cradling an old building, or a set of stairs once

leading to a seaside path but now leading nowhere at all. The challenge is to catch the image with my camera from this inconvenient, backstage angle. America’s heartland influences the bulk of my work—utilitarian structures that have a weathered history are haunting and lonely, more so than the congestion of suburban or city life. Shapes occurring by circumstance intrigue me far more than deliberate artifice.”

FINDS FROM AWAY Island Teak imports quality wood furniture from halfway around the world, designed with Maine in mind

146 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

nce a year, Jack Stone flies nearly 12,500 miles to reach the Indonesian island of Bali. From there, he takes another plane to Java, then embarks on a twohour drive from the airport to the same small town that he’s been visiting for 20 years. When he travels home to Wiscasset, he is trailed by cargo, shipping containers filled with teak wood furniture, live-edge slabs of oily teak wood, and twisted, knotty, polished balls of teak roots that have been sanded until they shine. Jack and Patti Stone are the husband-andwife team behind Island Teak. You may have driven by their storefront on Route 1, located just south of the busy Wiscasset downtown. You may have noticed the garden furniture sprawled across the lawn, or perhaps taken note of the bright yellow banners and American flags that wave in the sunlight. Here, on this oneacre plot of land, the Stone family has created a little patch of Java, a place where vacationers can pick up classic Indonesian garden benches, nautical-themed side tables, and striking liveedge and resin-filled tabletops. According to Stone, all these pieces are “of the finest quality available on the market today at a price that— and I hear this all the time from customers—is really unbelievable.” Although he serves the local market, Stone says many of his customers are out-of-state residents with summer homes in Maine. Since his clientele is diverse, Stone likes to offer a mix of different styles, from more straightforward slat-top tables meant for outdoor use (a “standard design” for many Indonesian factories) to experimental and organic slab tables with of-the-moment metal hairpin legs, butterfly joints, and poured resin accents. He’s also created a line of tables and chairs for outdoor use inspired by the teak grates used to cover the cargo holds of wooden ships. “The grating would ventilate the cargo hatch to keep

their goods from molding,” he explained. “I thought it would look cool to build a table with that same design.” The result is appealingly minimalist, slightly unexpected, and totally unique to Island Teak. When asked why he chose this particular business, Stone replies candidly, sharing stories of his first love: boats. “Quality of life is what motivates me—I originally got into the boatbuilding business because I like to play with boats,” he says. “I really just want to be outside, going sailing, fishing, and being outdoors.” Stone was originally trained as a boatbuilder. He first fell in love with teak while, alongside his mentor, he was restoring a 65-foot teak ketch built in the early 1900s in Rotterdam. “We pulled up all these rotten screws, and we thought that the planks would need to be replaced, too,” he

148 MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM

remembers. “But every one of those old teak planks was in great condition. They had sat in the ocean for 65 years, and there was nothing wrong with them.” It was right then that he realized, as he says, “teak is a special wood.” The same qualities that make teak a good wood for boatbuilding—its oil content keeps moisture from seeping in, which means fewer microbes and less rot—also make it a great material for all-weather furniture. “It weathers to a handsome gray color,” which, he says, looks right at home next to shingle-style houses and coastal clapboards. “Plus, when it comes to sturdiness, teak can’t be beat.” Stone knocks on the still-brown wood of a long, wide teak table, then he smiles and adds, “You could even dance on that.” MH+D

EXPERT ADVICE FOR OUTDOOR DECOR u First of all, resist your urge to

add any sort of finish to the natural teak. “One of the things about teak that works with the coast of Maine is that the gray and brown colors of the stones and the hardscape are exactly the same color as weathered teak,” Stone explains. “There is no maintenance for teak. You should let it weather to gray.” He advises washing your teak furniture every now and then with a gentle soap, but otherwise leaving it alone.

u Since teak takes on a nice gray tone

with time, Stone says it works really well with natural materials like slate and granite. “If you build a patio with 18-inch-high walls, you can even build seating for one of the tables into the stone wall, using it like a bench,” he says. He’s seen customers plan their patios this way, and advises buying a single bench and one long table to replicate this rugged look.

u When it comes to styling the grate-

top tables, Stone suggests leaning into the nautical theme with hurricane lamps and kerosene lanterns. “An antique lantern is a no-brainer to match with this,” he says. “Go into any antique store around here, and you’ll find half a dozen steel ones.” (If you see a brass lamp, he says, “snatch that up and be willing to pay for it.” Antique brass is a rare find and looks great with weathered teak.)

u Finally, if you love the live-edge

look, ask Stone which pieces are intended for indoor use and which can be brought outside. While some of the live-edge tables can function just fine on a patio, others are prone to warping. Stone also does custom work, so if you don’t see what you want, go ahead and ask.

SHOWCASE BY BRITTANY COST

SET SAIL At Penobscot Marine Museum, Sailing Small: Small Boats, Big Ideas offers a glimpse into the history of model making in Maine

Boy sailing pond models, Carroll Thayer Berry Collection

aine’s shipbuilding tradition carries with it an unexpected legacy: model making. Models are sometimes built as prototypes or representations of other, larger ships, while others are whimsical creations crafted purely for their own sake. Both welcome experimentation with design elements and ornamentation. Like many forms of craftsmanship, model making hovers in the gray space between utility and art, its inspirations rooted in the twin desires to craft a buoyant, well-designed vessel,

(no matter the size), and to elicit emotion, including a deep appreciation for boats and the adventures they give rise to. From May 26 through October 21, the Penobscot Marine Museum in Searsport will exhibit Sailing Small: Small Boats, Big Ideas to explore what inspires us to build and collect models. The exhibition uses items from the museum’s collection, including photographs and miniatures, to tell the story of model making in Maine. One miniature depicts the two-masted schooner J.T. Whitmore, while another model depicts a Korean turtle boat and was brought to the United States as a souvenir in the early 1970s.

MAINEHOMEDESIGN.COM 151

SHOWCASE The photographs turn the gaze toward the makers: in one image, Elmer Montgomery constructs a model of a peapod, a small traditional fishing craft. In a model shop set up as part of the exhibition, a series of canoes by Burt Libby demonstrates the steps of boatbuilding, and audio and video interviews with model makers offer glimpses into the process from their perspectives. After exploring the history of miniature making and learning about how professionals build, visitors can construct their own models and set them sailing in the museum’s model pond. During the exhibition, speakers will also visit the museum to share their inspirations and experiences of building in miniature, including Al Ross, a draftsman for kit models and instructional manuals at Searsport’s BlueJacket Shipcrafters, and Nic Damuck, owner of BlueJacket Shipcrafters. “Half-models for fishing vessels and sailing cargo ships carrying Maine’s exports of natural resources abound in the museum’s exhibits and storage areas, cataloguing the watercraft unique to the Gulf of Maine and the design principles universal to all boats,” says Cipperly A. Good, curator and collections manager at Penobscot Marine Museum. “Having the half-models and ship models of these historic craft helps us see the DNA of our current fleet of vessels.” On the following pages, Maine Home+Design features a preview of the exhibition.

A Coastal Farmhouse

imple, clean, functional, durable, and super energyefficient—this interpretation of a New England farmhouse with attached barn is situated to work with the steep grading of the site, to maximize solar orientation (with south-facing glazing for solar heat gain in the winter), for easy accessibility for homeowners and guests alike, and to take advantage of views toward Maquoit Bay in Freeport. The house is designed to meet the needs of a family of four (two adults and two children) and their large dog, with provisions for entertaining and aging in place. This will be the owners’ forever house, as they are eager to move closer to family and enjoy the woods, water, and more relaxed lifestyle of southern Maine. The house and barn are attached for easy access throughout the year and for cost savings (reducing plumbing and allowing shared bathrooms for the workshop in the garage and the bunkroom above). The bend

between the barn and the house responds to the natural grading, breaks down the perceived length of the home, and creates unique and fun corners with views toward the water beyond. The first floor is primarily public space. An open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area and a large deck and screened porch all face east toward the water and south toward the sun. The second floor includes bedrooms, bathrooms, and the “rumpus room”—a separate room for family activities. The house is designed for net-zero energy use, with photovoltaic panels on the roof to offset all the energy demand for the house and barn. It features 12-inch-thick double-stud exterior walls filled with densepacked cellulose, triple-glazed windows and doors, four inches of rigid insulation beneath the concrete slab foundation, deep roof overhangs to control light on the south side, a highly efficient heating and cooling system, and an energy recovery ventilator to circulate fresh air.
