Lynnfield Decorator Participating in Maine Design Event

Lynnfield decorator Yvonne Blacker is among the participants in the annual Museums of Old York Decorator Show House fundraiser in Maine. The event runs this year in Kittery Point, Maine through Thursday, August 15 and is at Secret Cove, 2 Lawrence Lane.

In an email to Lynnfield Patch, Blacker provided the following information about the project:

“I have done two rooms in the show as part of a design collaboration: Trio Design (Katherine Hawkins did a teen girls bedroom, I did the adjoining bath, Rosanne Palazola did an entry way and I did the adjoining Petite Powder Room based on the aesthetic of fashion designer Jason Wu, who designed two inaugural gowns for First Lady Michelle Obama - framed print photo attached, wallpaper from Farrow & Ball). My spaces were updated with fixtures from the Designer Bath showroom in Beverly.”

The Secret Cove show house sits on Lawrence Cove overlooking the town of New Castle, NH on Great Island. It is located in one of the early sections of Kittery, which was settled in 1623 and incorporated into the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1652 a few days prior to York.

The Old York Decorator Show House is featured in Maine Home+ Design magazine and previous Show Houses have been featured in Traditional Home, Better Homes and Gardens, the Boston Globe, and many other local and national publications. The major fundraiser annually attracts thousands of visitors and raises much needed funds for the ongoing preservation efforts and educational programs sponsored by the museum.
