New England Good Life offers an array of unique items.
Products at New England Good Life use wood rescued mostly from Cape Cod: mid-1800's floorboards from a sea captain's home, late-1800's barn wood, early-1900's beadboard, beach fencing found from walks along the shoreline, old cranberry crates, and anything else that's interesting and worth saving. The wood is repaired while keeping its character intact and converted to coastal art - most of it functional, so that you interact with it to better appreciate it: serving trays, cheese boards, coat and key hangers, cribbage boards, and coasters; plus hangings such as flags or signs from beach fencing. No two items are the same, because each piece of wood is unique and the artwork is done by hand. This makes for unique gifts or accents for your own home while breathing new life into a small piece of history that was on the verge of being lost to time. |
This website includes our standard products. But one-of-a-kind options exist but aren't listed, such as a serving tray using an 1820s two-foot wide board from Orleans, or a tray personalized for someone's house with antique wood from that town. For those that are listed, such as the popular Cape Cod or compass trays, each one is slightly different. If interested, email us at newenglandgoodlife@gmail.com and we can share pictures of our current inventory for you to browse.
Oh my goodness! It's amazing! Even better than the photos!"

I will love and enjoy this for years to come! You are a treasure of a find! That wood would have gone into the dump heap if it weren't for your talents!!"

We also partner regularly with people on custom projects. For example, a serving tray for a wedding gift that may include the couple's name and marriage date. Or a four-foot long narrower tray with over a dozen shells painted on it, wrapped in beach fence that perfectly fits a kitchen island. The specific design, dimensions, and handles can all be tailored. If interested, just send us a note! (newenglandgoodlife@gmail.com)

I just wanted to tell you how much I LOVE it! He's going to love it. You pulled the random thoughts I had and turned it into something so cool! The reclaimed wood absolutely makes the whole piece. It's perfect. It will match the house so well!" |

Read the Edible Cape Cod article on New England Good Life!
It's with great appreciation that Edible Cape Cod published a recent article on New England Good Life. Read Edible Cape Cod's fantastic article for more information. They also have great information on all sorts of local restaurants, vendors, and so on. Their print version is in a number of stores around Cape Cod as well, so grab one when you run across it. Shout-out to the local companies that were sourced for the great spread that was captured in this photo: Lighthouse Keeper's Pantry, Peterson's Market, Pain D'Avignon, Chequessett Chocolate, Chatham Fish & Lobster, and Cape Cod Potato Chips... definitely worth a try! |

One-of-a-Kind Stuff...
This serving tray was made from a ~70-year-old cranberry box that wasn't going to survive as a solid container, but still had some life left to it. After some repair work, the sunrise beach scene was added, As a smaller piece, this is good for drinks or a couple of appetizers. And the scenery is sure to be a conversation topic. It includes pads to avoid scratching and can be hung when not in use. This tray is $50, not including shipping. Whether it's for your own summer hosting, a thank you gift to a homeowner, or a keepsake of your vacation, it will be well-used for years to come. This literally is one-of-a-kind, so it's an example of some things not listed in the store itself. If interested, email newenglandgoodlife@gmail.com for more details. |
