House Tour-Maine Beach House


Hi Beach Pretty Friends,

I am sure we all have memories of summer at the beach or your favorite lake with your family. This beach house in Maine is the perfect family beach house compound. The owner's requested that the interior designer create a home that was pretty to the eye, let’s say modern coastal for their family and extended family that was beautiful but durable for the beach summer crew. I am sure this house is full of laugher and fun all summer long. I found this beautiful coastal house tour on Maine homes.com, which I absolutely love to visit often.

Architects: McIntyre Capron & Associates

Interior Designer: Nicola’s Home

Until next time,

Beach Pretty

Now this is my favorite kitchen nook, I mean a view of the bay that is spectacular, a U-shaped banquette with plenty of room for everyone.  Seriously, can you picture Maine Lobster’s, corn on the cob and all the happy faces enjoying a summer feast, I can!

A true Maine coastal home isn’t complete without a wraparound porch and a gorgeous fireplace which features a driftwood mantel.  Can you imagine summer nights here with a roaring fire, wrapped in a throw blanket listening to the waves lapping the shore and gazing at the moon lighting the bay?
