SoPo Cottage

I can’t remember the last time I was this inspired by a transformation! Along with her talented team of skilled craftsmen, Laurel of SoPo Cottage has spent the last 10 months completely renovating this 1906 beach cottage in South Portland, Maine. I’ve been following along on Instagram and with each post, couldn’t believe all that was being accomplished! Captured by photographer Jamie Salomon (unless otherwise noted on photo), the charming cottage has been lovingly updated with all the amenities of today’s lifestyle, but with tons of original charm! Some of my favorite elements are the custom curved island, ceiling with reclaimed lumber beams, beautiful antique mantel, rooftop deck….and of course the sea-inspired splashes of turquoise throughout!! The front door could not be more perfect, a cheery welcome and preview of what’s to come. I also love how Laurel carried the pretty mudroom paint color onto the kitchen island! The master bathroom couldn’t be any more gorgeous too! SO much to love!

You guys seriously have to see the ‘before’ shots of this home…the transformation is unbelievable! Check them out, learn sources, and read more about the renovation (setbacks and all!) over at SoPo Cottage!

  1. Oh, I love this home, so pretty, cute, sensible and decorated so nice with love. My fav colors. Thanks for sending me these wonderful posts. Judy Marks

  2. Thanks so, so much for sharing our project!!! I was so excited to renovate this tired old place into a bright, sea glass inspired cottage. I wanted to make it the quintessential turn of the century beach house – with all the amenities we want today!

  3. Love this!!! Can you tell me who makes the rug in the living room? I’m looking for one like it

  4. What a fabulous home – the sofa and armchairs are just like mine – the colours and accessories are beautiful throughout and the “stand” on the bathroom vanity is great for nice bits and pieces 🙂

  5. i love this color so much. i’ll try to paint another door with this color, but i think it’s so difficult to make it out.

  7. Now this is more of what I like to see here. I love older home remodels. I love the new construction too, but theres just something so amazing about a remodel. Working with whats there and trying to squeeze the very best out of it. Great color scheme and finishes, Love that Kitchen Island, so Unique. Just enough turquoise. It has heart and Soul. Thanks for posting a remodel. :hope to see more of them in the future. Although I still am drooling over that house in the islands a few months back. 😀

  8. I love the front door! The color is beautiful and the hardware matches perfectly. Where did you get your door hardware?

  10. That gorgeous tile that’s above the oven (you also have a close up of it – mosaic blues/greens/whites) – where did you get it? It’s EXACTLY what I need!

    • So glad you liked the inset tile above the stove!! It’s by a company called Oceanside Glass in California. You can custom design whatever colors you want and it really is beautiful. Hope it works for your project!

  1. […] Here’s a challenge for you. Don’t buy any bedroom decor from a big box store. Go prowling around the little antique shops and thrift stores for blue items, striped patterns and little seaside finds. That extra wear and tear will give the illusion of generations sleeping in that bedroom instead of being newly refurbished. […]
