Willard Beach - Maine

This charming 1920s beach house in Portland, Maine, is set within a historic coastal community celebrated for its rich fishing heritage. In close collaboration with the homeowner, a retired architect, Betsy thoughtfully curated an interior that reflects their shared appreciation for antiques, vibrant color, and subtle whimsy. Features such as sunlit yellow tile, custom built-in bunk beds inspired by traditional ship quarters, and a cozy wood-burning stove lend a sense of nostalgic warmth throughout. Conceived as a retreat from city life, the home offers a relaxed, inviting atmosphere that feels both personal and effortlessly suited for family living; including four-legged companions.
