Rooted in the silence of the coast.
The philosophy of Merit + Pine began not in a studio, but on the granite edges of the Atlantic, where the salt air meets the ancient forest.
"I believe a home should feel like the tide coming in—a slow, inevitable sense of belonging."
Growing up on the Maine coast, I learned that beauty isn't about decoration; it's about endurance. It's the way a pine tree bends to the wind but never breaks. It's the way the grey fog softens the sharpest rock.
When I founded Merit + Pine, I wanted to bring that same quiet resilience to interiors. We often mistake "staging" for "covering up." I see it as "revealing." My work is to find the soul of a space and give it the light it deserves.
Every piece I source—from the hand-woven linen to the reclaimed oak—carries a story of craft and patience. We don't just fill rooms; we create moments for life to unfold.
Values

- The Longevity of Pine
- The Silence of Space
- The Honesty of Light
A Curation of the Found.
Our process is tactile and intuitive. We spend weeks sourcing artifacts that feel lived-in. A room staged by Merit + Pine should feel like the owners just stepped out for a walk on the shore, leaving behind a home that is perfectly at peace.
