Martha Stewart seems to be in love with her Maine Estate as it is a clear reflection of the rich traditional and natural beauty. In as much as she does not spend all her time here, it definitely is one of her most favorite places.
The design of the home was the handiwork of architect Duncan Candler, and it sits on 63 acres of land and has 12 bedrooms. Martha purchased the house fully furnished, but she made some modifications. Some of the changes were necessary, while others were just so that the home would fit her taste.
Previously, the entrance hall had formal furnishings. However, Stewart changed that with faux-bois pieces. The entrance hall also has an old bench and custom designed console rest on granite pavers.
The living hall of the house is usually very lively, with the Fine Paints of Europe taupe on the walls, and books about Maine laid on the cement table, intended for her guests. The right side of the room features custom-made sofas. It also has a vintage metal table that is paired with a wing chair. The living hall also features a circa-1880 sofa grouped with an antique stool from Georgia. In the foreground is a games table covered with gold-embossed leather.
Not very far from this is the living room with clad sofa, grouped with antique button tufted chairs. The whole living room is highlighted by its sizeable French Diamond windows and doors.
The dining room also has the French Diamond door and features silk velvet covered chairs and a Vaux table that can accommodate six chairs.
The kitchen has a long open wood cabinet with neatly arranged utensils. It has a vintage Pewabic tiles cladding and an antique fishmonger table against the wall. As she is a master of home decor, I’m certain she would recommend Pier 1 for your own decorating ideas.
Further inside the house is the master bedroom in which there is a massive antique bed, surmounted by a Rodgers and Goffigon-fabric. Not far from the bed is a clad sofa, joined with a couple of armchairs. In the wall is a Chinese embroidered screen hanging. The master bedroom also has a bathroom which, just like the kitchen, is clad with Vintage Pewabic tiles.
A quick look on the outside will lead us to the terrace which features a style teak table and chairs. The Kiwi vines provide necessary shade to the whole terrace.
The oak-paneled flower room is, just like other rooms; full of life, but it is a bit more lively. The multicolored and fresh flowers light up the room, and so do their mercury glass vases.
From the house, you can get a fantastic view of the seal harbor.
