Excited to see my beloved “Maddie” in the Fall issue of The Cottage Journal that’s on newsstands July 15. Ben Ashby is the new Editor in Chief and he’s done an incredible job. I devoured all the stories from front to back! Kudos also to Jared Barton for some wonderfully evocative writing. Pick up a copy if you can, I know you’ll really enjoy it.

Maddie has been our labor of love and dream home project. When Tim and I found it, it had suffered years of serious neglect and abandonment. We poured ourselves into restoring and improving every aspect of it, doing our best to consider even the smallest detail, keeping it personal to us and the things we love like textured walls, as just one example. I created an oyster shell fireplace wall and Tim masterfully added Roman clay to the foyer and stairwell. The interiors also are a reflection of the Dorchester County setting where herons and other shore birds fill the skies overhead. The games room has amazing pink wallpaper with huge herons made by @fineanddandyco and it’s just perfectly dramatic. All to say, Maddie is our happy place and we’re so thrilled to have it shared with the magazine’s readers.
