Shopper's Diary: Windsor Chairmakers in Maine

Issue 32 · Seaboard Style · August 14, 2009

Another stop on my recent swing through Maine: Windsor Chairmakers, in Lincolnville, just down the road from Swans Island Blankets. Windsor Chairmakers quietly produces classic New England furniture, one piece at a time; the handcrafted wares are displayed throughout the rambling farmhouse in rustic room settings.
