About the host
Hosted by Beth Millar & Steve Miller
Husband and wife team who love to turn around that worn down old house, old cottage or old camp and create a space filled with attention to all the little things. We find so much joy in planting flowers and trees and watching them grow around our yard. Well, I get the plants and place them and Steve ends up planting and digging way more than I do. Lol. Steve loves architecture, building and creating new spaces and I love designing and decorating and searching for unique treasures. Together we have created Sea Salt Cottage .
Why they chose this property
I, Beth sell real estate, and I am always asking my husband Steve to just look at this one property with me. I grew up in Maine near the oceans and lakes and water of any type has drawn me to it . I decided to look for ocean property anywhere before the bridges of Cape Cod. I didn't want to deal with the traffic of the Cape. I saw a listing that read, do you want to live on an island? West island is all the great feelings you had growing up as child where summers were endless. I wanted to create an atmosphere that bought back the whimsy of a childhood, the time worn love of all things old, the pure radiance of color in all things new, in a place where all around you created a peaceful ocean mood . My design started with the custom hand blown lights in the kitchen created for me from Providence Art Glass and just evolved from the colors blown into this glass and all the items I searched for and found along the way. It was so exciting to see this house transform into what you will find today.
What makes this property unique
When I travel I always look and love to find the unique place with all the little details that together form exactly what I dreamed about or imagined from that great book, a place where my family and I would look back in years to come and remember that was a perfect beach house and an amazing vacation holiday. This is my wish for you.
