Weekly Wrap-Up: Maine Squeeze

Barn High Ridge Farm Greta Rybus

Maine has always been a respite for Northeasterners looking to escape the heat, the humidity—and the shiny, cool, and new. It is what it is: a state with a rough-and-tumble beauty that’s immune to trends. This week, Remodelista and Gardenista spotlighted Maine’s honest and modest sensibilities. Here’s what had us aching for a trip up the coast.

Kitchen at High Ridge Farm in Maine, Photo by Greta Rybus for Remodelista — Above: Annie traveled to the middle of the state to visit a young couple who are doing everything themselves—remodeling an old farmhouse, tilling the land, raising livestock, and hosting monthly farm-to-table community dinners. The stripped-down, smartly thrifted interiors are as breathtaking as their work ethic. See The House that Craigslist Built: A Bare-Bones Farmhouse in Midcoast Maine.
