One of our absolute favorite features in a property is a private dock. A place to walk out and sip your morning coffee on as the world slowly wakes up. A perfect runway to dash down on a hot summer day, diving into the crisp, cool water- washing away the stresses of the afternoon. And alas, the ideal spot to relax as the sun dips down into the horizon, painting dramatic hues of oranges, pinks and reds across the western sky- perhaps casting out a line in hopes of catching dinner. Being that we are surrounded by water, we are privileged to have spent many a great moments perched upon these nautical wooden pathways. We look forward to many more waterside memories this summer!

The concept of a ladder typically evokes upward mobility.  Usually seen outside in construction sites, we are loving the look of ladders INSIDE the home. Used as storage systems to drape towels or linens over or creatively hung in the kitchen as a pots & pans rack- the ladder has proven that there are many more uses for it beyond the basic climb. However, the standard utility of a ladder inside the home allows for cathedral ceiling storage- no longer confined to cabinets only available within arm’s reach- the ladder allows you to store your goods far above the normal height which leave you plenty of room for your everyday items.

This weekend, Libby Kirwin Real Estate is pleased to fuse 2 of our favorite things together: Real Estate and YOGA! Whilst hosting an Open House at 31 Carter Drive in Portsmouth from 10am to 1pm, the lovely Hillary Olinger will be hosting a trunk show featuring NUX yoga gear. This is in perfect timing for Libby’s 30 day personal yoga challenge.  So grab your morning cup o’ joe and head on out to Portsmouth to view a freshly renovated home and to snag some of the season’s hottest workout gear. Namaste.

Old McDonald shouldn’t be the only one who gets to enjoy the rustic architecture of barns. We are loving the look of re-purposed barn doors inside the home. Put on a sliding track or opening traditionally into a living room- barn doors add a touch of pastoral chic to an urban interior pallet. We love them best when contrasted against uber-modern decor. Sharp lines and mod lighting fixtures juxtaposed with large, wooden gate-like doors. The first image below is taken at one of our new rental properties located in Middletown, RI which boasts a super-charming barn door separating the kitchen and dining area from the living room.
