POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

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.

Some kitchens tell you when they were built. The best ones never do!

Some kitchens feel just as inspiring decades from now as they do today. Thoughtful architecture, natural materials, handcrafted details, and an Italian range designed to become part of the home’s story.

Featured here are three beautiful interpretations of that philosophy:

🖤 La Svezia Spettacolare by @idaelinora featuring the ILVE Nostalgie II 40” Induction Range in Graphite Matte with Brass Trim, blending timeless European elegance with the precision and responsiveness of modern induction cooking.

🇮🇹 Eastern Shore, Maryland by @by.byrd featuring the ILVE Nostalgie II 36” Dual Fuel Range in Blue Grey with Polished Chrome Trim, a serene coastal palette where soft color meets enduring craftsmanship.

✨ Catskill Mountains by @by.byrd featuring the ILVE Majestic Range in Stainless Steel with Polished Brass Trim, bringing warmth, richness, and unmistakable Italian character to this moody, earthy kitchen.

Every #ILVE range is handcrafted in Italy and built to be more than an appliance, it becomes the centerpiece where family gathers, meals are shared, and memories are made.

Which @ilveranges look is your favorite?

🖤 Graphite Matte + Brass
💙 Blue Grey + Chrome
💛 Stainless + Brass

Details from a slow few days at @lostfoxinn staying in the Schoolhouse Cottage, where old charm meets the quiet ease of countryside living.
Mornings felt unhurried here, with soft light filtering through and the kind of stillness that makes you forget the noise of elsewhere.

I can’t wait to return and experience it in full bloom, when everything is green and the landscape feels like it’s fully awake again. 🍃🦢

The view from here…captured by the amazing @jackiecaradonio for her book “The Inn Crowd” that features Lost Fox’s tavern on the cover! If you love unique and beautifully designed boutique inns, you’ll love the innkeepers’ stories and photos in this book.

This is one of our cozy guest rooms in the tavern that dates to 1745. It has the original rustic beams and sloped eaves, not to mention the most perfect blue on the walls.

All of our rooms are decorated differently so guests can have a new experience each time they come. Or they can pick their favorite and enjoy it every time. Here is a peek at room 10. When we renovated the inn, we converted the little closets into decadently curated mini bars so each room has an armoire for clothes. This one is from @stratfordantiquecenter

Our summer home kitchen feels to me like it’s always been there, even though we started with a space that had been fully gutted and abandoned to neglect by the last owner. See the last photo Before pic to glimpse the state of things at the beginning. We added a beadboard ceiling stained a warm dark walnut, floor tiles we had left over from another project, a marine rope handrail on the narrow stairs up to the second floor (not the main stairs), butcher block counters, and a freestanding hutch that fills the entire wall. Pots and pans are hidden behind the curtain across the bottom shelf. There’s a small pantry off the kitchen and a little breakfast area. It’s a happy space and the size suits us perfectly.
