Ann Kenkel Interiors Gwin Hunt Photography Coastal Estate in St. Michael's Maryland on the Chesapeake Bay. House was designed after the original 1770's house on the property. Home was designed to be a formal house but was now being used as a weekend retreat. Ann Kenkel had to decorate the house in a manner which was coastal enough so owner's felt like they were on vacation yet formal enough for the style of the house. AK found the house filled with wallpaper from the 1980's. Wallpaper from every room was removed and all trim had to be painted a neutral color. The formal dining room only had one entry. AK opened up a second entry into the dining room which provided a view of the Chesapeake Bay.

Transitional bathroom photo in Boston

The navy coffered ceiling sets the tone, structured, classic, and rich with architectural depth. Below it, the fireplace becomes the heart of the space, framed in a striking stone surround that pulls warmth and texture into the room. And opposite the fire, two repurposed red leather chairs find new life, adding a nostalgic pop of color that feels both collected and intentional. It’s a study built for conversation, for quiet moments, and for the kind of seasonal coziness that only deep winter can bring. A place where the glow of the fire, the sheen of brass accents, and the comfort of well-worn leather come together in a way that feels timeless. Photography by Patricia Burke
