A LOVE LETTER TO HISTORY

SITTING ROOM

Displaying contemporary art within the historic setting ‘has brought the house to life,’ says Ken. Artwork, Billy Sullivan. For a similar antique sofa and wingback chair, try The Hoarde

EXTERIOR

‘Provincetown is a place where everything is a bit broken and wonky. It’s not the slick Hamptons and I hope it never will be,’ says Ken, who calls his restoration ‘a love letter to this little hamlet that has given us so much.’

SITTING ROOM

Furniture is a mish-mash of ‘happy accidents’, put together in the spirit of the house. ‘It feels like a collection that has evolved over time,’ explains Ken. Artwork (over the fireplace), Anna Weyant. For antique leather armchairs, try Howe. Sculpture, Leilah Babirye. For a folk art blanket box like this, try Home Barn
