Homeowners John Wentworth (standing) and Jamie Gluck, with their rescue mix, Hazel, in front of their 1940s cedar cottage that they accented with a cheery yellow door (Summerdale Gold by Benjamin Moore).
Dive On In
SHIPS, AHOY!
Shades of the coastal blue hue ebb and flow throughout Jamie and John's home, as seen on the collection of vintage ship paintings, sofa (mgbwhome .com), Danish armchair cushions, and the chippy Early American laundry stand that serves as the living room's coffee table.
They found the mint-condition 1970s pole lamp dusty and disassembled on the floor of a local antiques store for a steal of a price of $50. "Our furnishings run the gamut from high-end to yard sale," says John.
The framed collection of sailing knots was a gift.
The winding dirt road that leads to "Loon Camp" is home to only two houses. But come summertime, the path's population grows by leaps and bounds with the visiting friends and family of John Wentworth and Jamie Gluck. Named for its address on secluded Loon Road, the Southern California-based couple's Madison, Maine, cottage sits just 15 feet from pine tree-lined Lake Wesserunsett. "Since I was a kid, I would visit this lake with a whole host of people I call the 'fake cousins," says native Mainer John, whose grandparents owned a house on the lake.
A built-in log nook keeps firewood on hand for the cozy wood-burning stove (jotul.com). The 1940s Wentworth sign above originally hung in John's grandparents' home two doors down.
