Chilton Furniture Showcased in Decor Maine's "Contemporary Harmony in the Maine Woods"

"When architect Jessica Jolin works on spec house, she identifies in the blank canvas something innately spectacular. The Oak Ridge project in Kennebunkport is a prime example, a highly original modern home that belongs among its neighbors in Goose Rocks Beach.

"Jessica and her team tried out high-value fixtures and furnishes, all with an eye to different budgets. To this end, she mixed custom cabinetry with ready-to-order vanities. Through it all, a well-defined vision presided over the home. “We wanted an elevated, contemporary take on the Maine vernacular that would fit into the neighborhood with surprising, contemporary moments inside,” said Jessica.

"Just as the opportunity for aesthetic exploration invigorated the team, so too did their collaboration with a wide array of local partners. When staging the house, they focused on using local furniture (including several stylish pieces from Chilton) as well as art by craftsmen and artists from the Biddeford and Kennebunk area.

“We love showcasing the local furniture and art because the real estate showings bring a lot of people through the doors,” said Jessica. “Local artists receive visibility, and that’s really important to us.”
