By combining his nautical inspiration and an interest for all things vintage, designer Ken Fulk gave his restored, 19th-century home in Cape Cod’s Provincetown, Massachusetts lots of one-of-a-kind personality. Take a peek inside to see the ways he made the small space live large...
Hang in There
To create Ken’s ideal collected feel, there are a total of 36 oil paintings that line every nook of the house, including door backs, as seen in the entryway.
Let in the Light
Ken skipped window treatments in the dining nook, tempering dark painted floors with lots of light. An antique bridge table and thatched-seat chairs sub in for standard dining furniture.
Go for Public Display
With over-the-door open shelving and clever wall-mounted storage, Ken was able to cut down on clunky cabinets and find space to showcase his kitchen collectibles.
Banish Boundaries
The same saturated color on the ceiling, trim, and walls eliminates visual breaks and helps the ceiling feel taller. Accents like a salvaged boat hatch light fixture reinforce the nautical vibe.
