Maine Kitchen Reveal

The strokes of the subtly undulating lime-wash plaster dance across the angled walls. An original wood beam powdered by historic touches of dehydrated lime stands reminiscent of the old sea captain who built this place. Sanded back wide-planked floors strengthen the home’s rustic nature. And the plethora of windows, custom cabinetry details, massive center island, and vintage wood stove, this kitchen is a broody bold coast dream come true. We brought this kitchen back to the 21st century without losing one bit of its historic charm.

The perfect balance of these elements creates a space that feels relaxed, modern, and rich in character.
