My friend, Falmouth/Martha’s Vineyard/Nantucket based architect Mark Hutker, is a master of the modern Cape Cod shingle style home. In the recent issue of Coastal Living, he worked his magic on this Martha’s Vineyard cottage, adding a barn-like twist. All photography by Brian Vanden Brink.
Have a great week!
Cheers,
As I drove through Maine this past weekend, I was struck by the unique character of the old weathered barns I passed. Barns are the reduced essence of the vernacular style of a region. Architect Gil Schafer captures this essence and turns it into something new and completely unexpected.
So simple and unassuming.
While on the other side… WOW!!!
A seemelss blend of French, Belgian and American style… Classic!
I love the wood lintels over the doors! A hint of Spanish influence, too?
Such discreet reading lamps. Quilting on the bed echoes 17th/18th Century Colonial period.
Oh to soak in this tub after a long day on the water!

Today’s “before and after” story features a beautiful condo in Salem’s historic district. The client had recently inherited an interesting mix of art and antiques and asked Wilson Kelsey Design to help sort through the pieces and use them to decorate the renovated condo. We sorted through the vintage pieces and then helped them get repaired, refinished and reupholstered.
We also assisted the client with the selection of new pieces to complement the inherited ones. New rugs, select antiques and draperies were chosen to fill in where needed. We created a space that has a strong tie to the client’s past but with a fresh twist. Lively fabrics, an uncluttered furniture plan and well edited accessories keep this home looking forward.
