Thank you to Abigail Gervais of Endicott College for the photography.

This couple downsized to a lovely 1100 sq foot home in Portland, Maine. We curated an immense collection of art, objects, and furnishings. The goal was to create a cohesive color story in each space to show as much art as possible without feeling cluttered. Creative storage was designed and built into the dining room, turning a dead space into a beautiful, functional part of the home.
My goal was to honor the clients' love of art and ensure they could enjoy their day to day life by applying "aging in place" principles of design.
We took into account lifestyle (durability for entertaining, pets), acquired a minimal amount of new items and focused on reimagining/repurposing existing pieces into my new design plan. I choose a deep, dramatic neutral as a proper background for artwork. The I created color stories. I must confess this was a dream come true as I am an art fiend.
