Antiquing, Vintage Mini Boxes, Charms and Prints
Mastering the Maine look is all about creating a well-collected, history-filled mix—think vintage books, classic blue-and-white ceramics, and finds from the sea.

Sea-inspired finds are one of the hallmarks of the Route 1 antiquing scene. Here, art inspired by the classic landscapes of New England, a collection of seashells, and woven textures all lend the space a quiet and calming East Coast ease.

Heavily sought after by collectors, colored glassware from many eras is available in an array of hues and designs at flea markets and high-end stores alike.
Compile a mix of rustic (copper pans, stoneware crocks) and classic (silver serving pieces, etched glassware) to channel the Kennebunkport look in the kitchen.

“When I started modeling, all I really wanted to get was a Shabby Chic couch. “
If New England had to choose a signature palette, it would no doubt be shades of blue and white. Play up the laid-back Americana look with blue-and-white textiles on furnishings and pillows.

Ticking Stripes
Ticking stripes, the popular upholstery that’s at home in country cottages and grand estates alike, comes from rough-hewn origins. Originally called ticking fabric, it was a thickly woven cotton or linen that served as a mattress cover, preventing straw or feathers from poking out. It was most often seen in a striped pattern—typically in subdued blues, reds, or yellows. Many credit the famed American designer Sister Parish for elevating it from its utility status, bringing it out of the bedroom and using it for pillows, drapes, and upholstered furnishings.

Silver, especially true sterling, is a top-seller at antiques markets thanks to its timeless appeal. Don’t be afraid to buy a tarnished piece, which you can easily polish up at home.
