Maine

Rooted in the history and natural beauty of Mount Desert Island, this Seal Harbor home is a multigenerational family retreat thoughtfully reimagined by Laura Keeler Pierce and her mother. A deeply personal project, the home reflects their shared appreciation for Maine’s rich tradition of summer living, weaving together classic furnishings, layered textiles, playful patterns, and a thoughtful mix of old and new. Original architectural details and a cherished mural were preserved, while an expanded porch strengthens the connection between the home and its surrounding landscape. Designed to welcome generations of family and friends, the residence balances comfortable everyday living with spaces for gathering, entertaining, and quiet retreat. The result is a timeless yet spirited home that honors its history, celebrates family traditions, and creates a lasting legacy for generations to come.
