Design Travel With Julie Carlson
Designers Kristin Hein and Philip Cozzi of Hein+Cozzi "dumped our sandbox upside down," as they say, and "moved life and studio from the Hamptons to Provincetown, Massachusetts" not too long ago. Growing up, Philip worked summers at Ciro and Sals, a legendary P-Town restaurant co-owned by Ciro Cozzi, an artist and restaurateur. "Everyone, I mean everyone, came—from John Wayne to John Waters, from Robert Motherwell to Norman Mailer," he says. "Provincetown is America's oldest active art colony and we love the sense of community. People pop by and wave, there are impromptu cocktail parties, we ride our bikes out to dinner, to the bank, to the grocery store."
When the Old Homestead, a guest house and local landmark in the East End of town, hit the market, the couple took the plunge. Built in 1850 for Captain Frank Rich, a sea captain and sexton of the Church of Saint Mary of the Harbor, "the property was dilapidated and yet wonderfully untouched," Kristin says. "Through every window there was an idyllic view. We kept the history of the place intact, preserving the original beams, the pine floors, and the brick chimney." The Old Homestead is now a luxe two-bedroom, two-bath rental available by the week, stocked fridge, bikes, and paddleboards included.

Above: The shiplap walls are painted a gray-violet shade from the Guggenheim Collection by Fine Paints of Europe (G020 to be precise). "It feels like the moment before nautical twilight as you gaze out onto the bay," Kristin says.
Above: Kristin and Philip retained the original brick chimney, pine floors, and wood beams. "We did add the shiplap to unify the space," they say.

Above: "We are 60 miles out into the ocean, the tides rise and fall 11 feet twice a day, the light rivals Greece, the sense of adventure and freedom is palpable," Kristin says. The house rents by the week; for booking information, go to the Old Homestead Provincetown.
We also recommend the Salt House Inn in Provincetown. And for another old Cape Cod house that we love, see Justine's Soulful Family Cottage (and learn how to make her Cape Cod Beach Plum Jam).

Bedrooms With Alexa Hotz
My knowledge of guest room niceties is a family legacy. For several years, my mom owned a bed-and-breakfast in the Napa Valley. When she opened the inn, she told me that it had been her lifelong dream to run her own business. But it was clear that the dream was really all about stocking the best amenities: Organic hand soaps and porcelain bedside carafes led to sprigs of lavender on turned-down bedsheets.
When it comes to setting one B&B or rental house or guest quarters apart from the rest, it's all in the details. We've created a list of six amenities—each with a high and low option—guaranteed to give an instant upgrade.
Liquid Hand Soap

Bath Towels
Above: Restoration Hardware's white Turkish Bath Towel is currently on sale for $24 (marked down from $29).

Architecture & Interiors With Justine Hand
Rescued from the tide, a former general store in coastal Maine is reborn as a modern summer cottage.
When Fiona Hooper first set foot in the dilapidated general store turned cottage, she fell in love with the view. Where Harbor Cottage is set—right against the bay in Martinsville, Maine—the high tide literally laps at the porch, which also caused the basement to flood. Fiona staved off the water with some initial improvements. But when it came time for a total interior overhaul, she and her husband, Tony, called on architect Sheila Narusawa to set things right. With the addition of painted shiplap and many more windows, Narusawa brought Harbor Cottage into the 21th century, while paying homage to its history and heritage. And the good news: It's available for rent (see details below).
Photography by Justine Hand.
Above: A print by British artist Wilhelmina Barns-Graham hangs over a sideboard displaying stones from the three continents where Fiona has lived: Maine, Plettenberg Bay in South Africa, and Dungeness in the UK.
Above: Previously chopped up into several rooms, the living room is now one big space. Narusawa added double-hung windows to take in the view of the bay as it wraps around the point. White paint on the walls and ceilings throughout the home create a sense of seamless interiors. Fiona recovered the sofa in antique French linen from The Marston House in Wiscasset, Maine. The antique mirror over the stove was a gift from her mother many years ago when she first left home.
Above: A checked blanket on a built-in daybed. The pitcher holds red and blue privet berries.
Above: Water views through windows that date to the days when the building was a general store.
Above: Fiona bought the antique dining table on vacation in the south of France.
Above: In the kitchen, old-fashioned shiplap is applied to the drawers and cabinets; even the fridge is paneled. Read about the paneling in Expert Advice: The Enduring Appeal of Shiplap.
Above: Narusawa used open shelving in the kitchen and soapstone counters from Vermont. (Watch for our Remodeling 101 post on soapstone counters this Thursday.)
All construction at Harbor Cottage was carried out by Harbor Builders.
Above: Soapstone provides a nice backdrop for an old bowl that Fiona's mother brought from Scotland.
Above: Tucked under the eaves, the expanded upstairs bathroom has a New England rustic vibe.
Above: The room features a refurbished antique tub and the same bracketed open shelving as the kitchen. (For a similar bath designed by Narusawa with sourcing info, go to Steal This Look.)
Above: A farmhouse sink sits atop a rustic wood countertop.
Above: Narusawa created the lofty master suite out of three small bedrooms. She anchored the bed to an island in the center of the room, allowing the area behind to serve as a dressing area/office.
Above: The view from the bed creates the illusion that one is floating on the sea.
Above: Harbor Cottage also has a two-bedroom guest cottage next to it (shown left); the two houses sleep six and are available for rent together. The town of Martinsville is in midcoastal Maine; for information, go to Harbor Cottage Maine. To see more photographs, go to Design Skool.
Heading to Maine? We recommend visits to Snug Harbor Farm nursery in Kennebunk, and the Corey Daniels Gallery in nearby Wells.
