Spring has sprung in Kennebunkport and with it we are experiencing new beginnings at spaces kennebunkport! After much procrastination, Anna and I are thrilled to be launching our website spaceskennebunkport.com where we will be offering a selection of our favorite products from our shop. We have added a gift registry and have outlined our design services.

Check us out in the june/july 2009 issue of Traditonal Home. In the article The Last Resort you will find a description of the dining area of Lucky, a cottage that anna and I designed for a decorator's show house in june 2008. We hope that you will run out and buy a copy and of course book a stay at Lucky www.hiddenpondmaine.com .

Here are some other rooms in the cottage not featured in the article.

The screened porch of Lucky was a big hit as it was lined with real grass and bluestone. we decorated the deck with all white furnishings for contrast. Mason Dixon, of MCD landscaping, made our vision come alive by laying sod on top of a water proof lining. he then added the bluestone tiles setting the stage for our design. The tough part came later when he had to water and trim the grass to keep it in pristine condition for the two weeks of the show house tours. Thank you mason!!

In the master bedroom a contemporary four poster bed is softened using sheers with embroidered graphic details he side tables are made from ceramic planters, with nubby texture, filled with sand and topped with glass. The lamps are mother of pearl.

We liked the sculptural nature of the bedroom chair which we repainted to match our decor. The dresser was made from the unfinished vanity that we removed from the bathroom. A little stain, some shelves and new hardware and we had a whole new piece of furniture for about $45.

The master bath vanity is constructed of a half round, white resin, faux bois table with a vessel sink. It is situated in front of wallpaper depicting a forest scene.
