Our Favorite Bold Coast Activities

Since we were up in Maine this week photographing the swoon-worthy kitchen at our Coaster's Chance Cottage, we've compiled a list of summer activities for those of you heading north for the season, and for those of you who maybe need a push to make the trek up. The Lupines are going crazy right now and hiking along the bold coast trails makes us feel like we're in another world — this place feels like a cross between the Pacific Northwest and a Scandinavian fairytale. Now that we've hyped it up, here's our list of recommendations as far as what to do while you're in Maine other than kicking your feet up and watching the Lobster boats troll by. We hope you enjoy!

The Afternoon and Dining Room Reveal

We’ve shown you a few spaces original to the cottage in our Captain’s Suite and Wheelhouse Loft Reveal, but there’s more! Brimming with New England charm, these spaces feature 200-year-old horsehair and plaster walls, warm wood tones, and wide-planked floors — quite the setting for some of our favorite custom-designed pieces. We don’t like holding these kind of secrets, so it’s a relief to finally be revealing the last spaces in our Coaster’s Chance cottage — the Morning Room and Dining Room!*

Picking Paint Colors for Coaster's Chance

Selecting paints is not a linear process and though we touched on it earlier this year in a prior blog, we're giving you the final rundown on our Coaster's Chance color palette. There is more that goes into choosing a color than whether or not it makes our eyes happy! Paint is a piece of the complicated puzzle that is creating a balanced material palette. We like sharing what we know whenever we can, so keep reading for some tips and final results.

The Captain's Suite and Wheelhouse Loft Reveal

As you know by now, we’ve been revealing this project in sections. We started with the larger, newer additions, but it’s time we showed you the older sections of the home! Our goal here was to preserve the original beauty of this 1820s cottage while still adding a little coastal, modern flair. So without further ado — say hello to the Captain’s Suite and Wheelhouse Loft.

If you’ve been following us for a bit you know that we’re a little obsessed with converting spaces that were previously used for something completely different (and often straight up uninhabitable) into homes. Converting them into living spaces adds so much drama! As designers, we love bringing together the balance of the original structure with its accessory structure…

We’re on TV—Filming with Magnolia Network

Today is the day! Thanks for hanging in there with us while we hinted at this amazing news (we wanted to tell you, but were sworn to secrecy!) for a while because we honestly weren’t sure exactly when it was going to air. But now we can scream it from the rooftops that over the summer we filmed an episode of Point of View: A Designer Profile for Magnolia Network on Discovery+ (our episode is in season two).
