House on an Island

Charles and Barbara live with their three children in this home on an island just off the coast of Maine. The biggest problem they had when they bought it was the fresh water supply - the previous owners had benefited from a well, which no longer existed. However, they managed to have pipes fastened to the bottom of the sea and connected them to the water supply in the nearby town. They have no electricity so there are many oil lamps in every room. Most of the furniture are lightweight pieces such as wicker as it hard to bring heavy ones over from the mainland.

Good Monday morning, dear readers, hope you all had a great weekend!

When I saw an e-mail in my inbox sent by James Salomon I knew I was about to see something special. And I wasn't wrong. The photographs of his latest work are lovely.

I featured some of Jamie's work in yesterday's post and last year here.

So, this is the latest project captured by Jamie's lens. It took two years for Barnes Vance Architects from Georgetown, DC to transform it from an inn into a single family house. It is located in Bar Harbor, in a small town known as Down East Maine. The owner decorated the interiors with the help of the architect.

A magnificent house and beautiful photographs. Thank you Jamie for allowing me to show them here!
