Try your own variations on these finishing touches from Mary's cottage.

TAKE RISKS - Mary claims she was influenced by the season when she painted the downstairs bath at Thanksgiving. The vivid color might be overwhelming in a larger room but works here.
photography: Minh + Wass STORE IT IN FULL VIEW - In the kitchen, a practical solution to limited space in the cupboard also results in graphic wall art.
photography: Minh + Wass UNCORK THE POTENTIAL OF ORDINARY OBJECTS - Everything gets a second chance in this household. Champagne corks make unexpected door pulls throughout the house.
photography: Minh + Wass WHITE OUT THE WHITE - Mary breaks an unwritten rule that all trim must be white. Here, a blueish smoke-gray trim contrasts with the "limoncello" exterior and light-gray shutters.
photography: Minh + Wass CREATE AN ARTFUL SURPRISE - Salvaged cypress lath and found objects adorn a chainlink gate in the garden.
photography: Minh + Wass USE COOL COLORS - The aqua-colored ceiling, sheer curtain panels,and simple bed linens have a fresh, cooling effect on this guest room.
