When we lose someone we love, we must learn not to live without them but to live with the love they left behind.
Welcome to In My Mother’s Maine Home, a special blog series that chronicles the restoration and transformation of my parents’ beloved coastal Maine home. After inheriting this vintage cottage by the sea, I began a heartfelt journey of honoring their memory while creating a space that reflects our family’s story, one thrifted treasure and antique find at a time.
This series is filled with vintage home decorating ideas, DIY restoration projects, and reflections on life, love, and the deep-rooted charm of New England. Each blog post is organized in chronological order, offering a glimpse into how we’ve preserved the past while embracing a fresh and personal coastal style. Whether you’re here for inspiration, comfort, or curiosity, I hope this series touches your heart as much as it has mine.
Thank you, Mom & Dad~—for the memories, the antiques, and this beautiful home we now call ours.
