Maine Memories
Pictures from the past that sum up our time on the island.
Living outside, bare feet on warm floorboards, outdoor showers, late night swims, and slamming screened doors. It's long, lingering days that never seem to end, porch naps, flowers picked from the side of the road, and boat rides that go nowhere in particular. It's fireflies at dusk, the drip of a melting popsicle, friends dropping in, and the luxury of having nowhere to be.

When we head to Maine for the summer, we trade our schedules for sunshine and remember what it feels like to simply be. In honor of America's 250th birthday, we've crafted the ultimate bucket list: an ode to the freedom, ease, and unhurried joy of our favorite season.

Sister Parish began her career during the Great Depression in 1933, later founding the renowned design firm Parish-Hadley and famously decorating the White House for the Kennedys. Parish-Hadley's client list was made up of Rockefellers, Whitneys, Astors, and the families that were considered the American aristocracy at the time.
Our icons collection is made up of patterns originally designed by Sister for her Parish-Hadley clients, reimagined for today. From Brio, an ikat stripe, to Dolly, a feminine floral, to Serendipity, a playful all-over star, to Burma, an interpretation of an Indian block print, to Mahalo, our sturdy check, and Sintra, a tree of life pattern — these are the prints you know and love. Whether you're discovering Sister Parish textiles and wallcoverings for the first time or returning to the patterns you've always loved, the icons are always a great place to start.
