Pop-Up Design

By Rebecca Falzano

The pages of Maine Home+Design are coming to life for a weekend on the Midcoast.
It’s a home show you won’t want to miss.

What happens when you put more than 200 talented builders, designers, architects, artists, and craftspeople (and the team here at MH+D) under the same roof for a weekend and open the doors? A flurry of design ideas, inspiration, and collaboration. The Maine Home+Design Show is happening Saturday, June 30, and Sunday, July 1—perfectly timed to coincide with Cellardoor Winery’s Pop the Cork celebration on June 28. The Show will take place in a specially constructed tent at the Camden Hills Regional High School in Rockport and will be a rare opportunity to see a wide range of home design professionals in one place: from window specialists to rug makers, builders to landscapers, artists to architects, and everyone in between.
