We hope you enjoy this throwback blog post featuring Lily Kanter’s home designed with some classic pieces from our collection. 

With entertaining and vintage charm in mind, Lily Kanter—co-founder of Serena & Lily —shares the end result after lovingly remodeling her 19th-century California home in the July/August issue of Coastal Living.  She complimented the home’s original craftsmanship with a few beautiful Maine Cottage painted wood and upholstered furniture pieces.

Maine Cottage Cokie Bar Stools in Milk are a perfect pairing in the open kitchen. They’re made from solid maple wood and available in 35 signature colors.

Design tip: Add an upholstered cushion to bar stools for a pop of color and added comfort.

Featured in the bright and light living room on page 82, is a Maine Cottage Eloise Ottoman.

We love how Lily’s decor melded seaside style with modern touches to capture a cheerful spirit in her home. We are also inspired by the way she created a perfect space for family entertaining while honoring the home’s heritage.
