Alexander Widener | From New York to Maine, and the Art of Timeless Craftsmanship and Design - Fellow Friends in Home & Hosting

In this episode, I’m joined by Alexander Widener (@Alexander_Widener) — a designer and storyteller whose world blends deep-rooted tradition with intentional living. After years in New York’s fast-paced interiors industry, Alexander made the move to coastal Maine, trading the city for a quieter life shaped by history, craft, and care.

We talk about his journey — from working in textiles and showrooms to opening his own guest cottage and store — and the values that guide his work: timeless design, slow decorating, and collecting with purpose. Whether it’s sourcing antiques, working with artisans, or simply letting a home evolve over time, Alexander brings a rare depth and warmth to everything he touches.

If you've ever romanticised a quieter life, craved more meaning in your space, or felt drawn to the old-world charm of craftsmanship and character, this one's for you.
