Perfect Beauty Tiny Maine Cottage is the Epitome of New England Charm
This modest but design-savvy beach home proves that less is more.
BY LAURA KOSTELNY
A design-savvy couple sized up their modest island getaway and, without opting for any extra square footage, managed to carve out plenty of breathing room.
When you're always armed with a tape measure, you develop an eye for what will—and, more importantly, what will not—fit a tight space. At least that's true for Alison and Michael Brewer, co-owners of Gray Wade Design & Development, a design-build firm in Charleston, South Carolina. After years of vacationing in Southwest Harbor, Maine, the couple put that discerning eye to the test when they bought their own modest fixer-upper. Because the town is located on a 100-square-mile island accessible via bridge and causeway, renovation and design weren't easy—especially because Michael sourced materials from South Carolina and Alison shopped for furnishings online. "We really had to think about measurement because returning things is such an ordeal," Alison says. In the end, the couple maximized every inch of the 1,200-square-foot cottage. Says Michael, "It's rewarding to find out what you really need and what you don't." It's safe to assume the tape measure made the cut.
