I have exciting news to share: our Maine home is featured in the March 2019 issue of Country Living magazine! Yay!! Read all about the renovation of our 1863 cottage in Castine.
A big thanks to the entire CL team – especially Editor in Chief Rachel Hardage Barrett and Homes Editor Jennifer Kopf. These two really championed our story, and I’m grateful to them.
Photographer Alec Hemer made our little cottage look so airy, inviting and idyllic. Tom and I are thrilled with his stunning photos – thank you, Alec.
Stylist Elizabeth Maclennan created many magical moments and vignettes. Thanks, Liz.
All of the flowers are from Dan’s Flower Farm in Sedgwick, Maine. Go to our Maine Instagram site where we shared our day there picking from Dan’s organic fields. I loved arranging with such beautiful, fresh flowers!
Here’s a sneak peek:
Our front door painted in high gloss “Willow” by Fine Paints of Europe. The mussel wreath was handmade by a local artist – available through Handworks Gallery in Blue Hill, Maine.
This Swedish Gustavian secretary’s chalky surface reminds me of the weathered patina of the cedar shingles along the coast.
The decor is a mix of coastal, classic and Continental. I had fun sourcing local coastal art and natural finds like rocks, shells and driftwood. A classic blue-and-white palette, from linens to pottery, runs through many of the rooms. And Continental European antiques give our casual cottage an unexpected sophistication.ย ย
This coffee table “flat lay” vignette featuring our collection of Maine books, local rocks, and other finds is my favorite shot! There is even a walking map of Castine village.

Please pick up a copy of the March 2019 Country Living – hope you enjoy it!
Cheers,
Loi
Hello Loi, Congratulations, Loi on another well-deserved honor. Your interiors are eternally fresh and interesting, and these photos look especially fine.

Thank you, Jim! I'm a longtime reader of CL….this really is an honor to be featured in the magazine.
Oh, and Happy Chinese New Year of the Pig to you and Tom!
Happy Chinese New Year!! We are enjoying moon cakes!
Your homes are always so beautiful. Congratulations… I will definitely pick up a copy.
Thanks so much, Doreen! I hope you enjoy the article.
Looking forward to receiving my copy. Always an inspiration to view your beautiful homes! I actually just purchased the same wishbone chairs last November to replace my parson chairs. I love them!
Thank you, Julie. Those chairs are surprisingly comfortable. We sit in them quite a bit.
I love the 4 botanical prints. Are copies available for purchase? If so, where?
Those are Dutch botanical engravings from the 1600s. I sold them to a friend. I'm not aware of reproductions. Thanks for asking.
So fabulous, Loi! I can't wait to see the story! xoxo
Hope you enjoy it, Phyllis! Thanks for visiting ๐

Oh Loi, I'm so happy for you and also thrilled to see TWO blog posts this year! The notifications, however, are still going to spam. (of course, not your problem or fault) I'm going to have to have a word with Mr. Google because that is just not right. Yeesh! This is his Own blogging platform! And, I have told him repeatedly that it is definitely NOT spam. He's just turned a deaf ear to me. What's a girl to do? lol xoxox, Laurel
