You never really know what you’ll uncover during demo in an older home.

Sometimes it’s old framing techniques, hidden windows, or original flooring. And sometimes it’s moments like this: layers of wallpaper from different decades, still tucked behind the kitchen walls. The train pattern, the florals, the colors… someone once picked those out and loved them enough to put them on these walls.

It’s easy to look at a remodel and focus only on the finished product, but moments like this are a reminder that every home has a long history before we ever step onto the jobsite. Different families, different trends, different memories, all leaving their mark over time.

Now, this home gets another chapter, and we’re grateful to be part of it.

Countertop templating day ✨
The cabinets already look beautiful, but just wait until you see what’s going on top of them.

Maya and Karen had the pleasure of attending Ain’t Too Proud at the Ogunquit Playhouse last weekend, and it was such a wonderful evening. Beautiful weather, an incredible performance, and a packed house enjoying an incredible night at one of the region’s most iconic theatres.

We’re proud to support such an amazing local theatre and all that they bring to the community each season.

If you have the chance to see this production (or any of their shows), we truly can’t recommend it enough!

Unused space → dream space. This basement didn’t know what it was missing. 🔨

Finishing your basement can add serious livable square footage without touching your home’s exterior. Here’s a recent project that shows exactly what’s possible 👏

With Earth Day as a reminder today of why this work matters, we’re proud to share:

Maya recently earned her Passive House certification—something we’re incredibly proud of.

Passive House is a building standard focused on energy efficiency, comfort, and long-term performance. At its core, it’s about creating homes that are better for the environment and better for the people living in them.

This milestone reflects a continued commitment to building more thoughtfully, and to always learning, evolving, and improving how we approach our work.

We’re excited to keep bringing that perspective into our projects here on the Maine and New Hampshire Seacoast!

If this past winter had you questioning your life choices every time you had to brush even more snow off your car… it might be time to start thinking about a garage.

I promise, future you will thank you.

Great conversations, fresh inspiration, and an incredible culinary experience to top it off.

A huge thank you to Ferguson for hosting such a thoughtfully put-together evening, and to chefs David Rose and Ariane Duarte for the delicious food (and some cooking tips!).
