This Restored 18th-Century Maine Farmhouse is an Artist’s Treasure Trove.
For some, an 18th-century farmhouse, located only a couple hundred yards from the scenic coast of Maine, sounds like a dream. For designer Tyler Karu, it's simply the setting of her mother's home. When it came time to design the potential-rich property, her mission was simple: Restore the 1700s home to its original glory, adding in personal touches along the way. "Our vision was to preserve the character and history of the home. Hundreds of years and numerous renovations left the property feeling like a bit of a hodgepodge," Karu explains. "We wanted to strip the house to its bones and start over, paying homage to authentic farmhouse style, but with an eclectic focus driven by my mother's art and furnishings collection."
