Lover of quirky, oversized decor and all things vintage, self-taught artist Allison McKeen's home doubles as a cozy escape and functioning art exhibit. Together with her artist and collector husband, Matt, they discovered the home of their dreams in Gardiner, Maine, and immediately removed all the color from the walls. “We bought our house in 2019,” Allison says. “And we love that the previous owners kept a lot of the character. But we did things like paint the walls white to give it more of a gallery feeling [so] the objects speak for themselves.”
