A Cape Cod summer home that's been in one family since the 1960s gets a refresh
Most importantly, the owner says, was to maintain the familial spirit of her parents, who would ensure her siblings and 16 nieces and nephews always felt welcome. She hosts two reunions each year for more than 30 family members. The home sits on the point of a peninsula at the end of a winding drive. Spending time outdoors is essential. L'Espérance redesigned the deck on the oceanside of the home to feel more in keeping with the architecture, maintaining the connection points for the original sunshade, and added a grilling/dining area and firepit to the front, where wind is less likely to ruin dinner. Advertisement Dostie Bros. Frame Shop turned the family's old windsurfing sails into art. Colin Miller The sun-dappled entry hall stayed the same but L'Espérance tweaked the layout, creating a casual lounging area beneath the skylights and providing separation from the kitchen. She took advantage of a tall wall to establish the color palette and welcome the family with vestiges of their childhood, albeit in a different form. 'Monica handed me some old windsurfing sails and asked if I could do something with them,' she says. 'I cut and arranged them in abstract compositions, then had them stretched on canvas and framed.' The kitchen has a whole new look with flat-front cherry cabinetry and a navy tile backsplash — a combination that nods nautical. The large-format limestone floor tile has blue striations that reference the ocean; its finish will patina over time. L'Espérance preserved much of the layout, though she added a glass door to pull in light as well as add access to the dining room and grill. She also inserted a pantry off the kitchen by borrowing dead space from the dining room. In the living room, L'Espérance installed shiplap on the ceiling and reconfigured the windows. 'A strange triangular window occupied half the gable at one end,' she says. 'I leaned into symmetry; the house was asking for organization.' Sofas and swivel chairs face the view and the original stone fireplace. The designer closed the opening on the flip side of the two-sided, central structure, where she created a built-in bar with lounge seating. 'Now people can walk into the house, grab a drink, and continue out to the patio or into the living room,' she says. Annette Demick of Function + Form Interiors helped design the kitchen. Colin Miller A glass door between the living room and kitchen leads into a dining room that L'Espérance calls the Table Room. 'Monica said she needed to seat 30 and I was like, 'At the same time?!'' she says with a laugh. L'Espérance collaborated with local makers on a clean-lined birch table that expands from seating 16 to 24 (or even 30). The piece sits atop a colorful carpet tile runner that L'Espérance devised based on old Scandinavian weaving patterns; she had recently completed a textile residency in Iceland. The runner on the table itself was woven by someone she met there. Advertisement Landry, who remembers sleeping on a couch or air mattress when the home was at full capacity over the years, wanted to be sure there were beds for everyone. (The six bedroom house sleeps 21 people.) At the top of the stairs off the table room, there's a guest bedroom with three beds. Beyond the Table Room, in what was long ago the garage, are two identical bedrooms with whitewashed pine paneling. On the other end of the home is a large bunk room at the top of the stairs. A now-straight corridor leads to an oceanside guest bedroom with multiple beds, and at the end, the primary bedroom. L'Espérance closed off the top of the extra-tall space, giving Landry an airy office; she also added a private outdoor shower, wanting Landry to have something special for herself. 'The primary is now like its own little retreat for Monica,' she says.

Connor McDavid (via Getty Images) speed by clocking a personal best 23.92 miles per hour on ice during the thrilling end-to-end dash in the third period of Game 2, despite the Oilers losing to the Los Angeles Kings . Connor McDavid 's speed and other stunning performances by NHL players have made this playoff season one for the record books. From the speeds at which they shoot to high-danger shots, the play is hard and marked by stunning feats of skill. Connor McDavid's record-breaking speed dominates the playoffs You just CAN'T CONTAIN McDAVID 🙅🍎 Connor McDavid's record-setting speed of 23.92 miles per hour has been the highlight of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs . Connor McDavid clocked this postseason record speed during an impressive sprint in Game 2 against the Los Angeles Kings at the fastest speed of the playoffs to date. This isn't the first time his speed has been on display—he had already reached 23.85 miles per hour previously in the 2024 playoffs. With seven points in three games in this series, two goals and five assists, Connor McDavid is just dominating the playoffs and solidifying his position as one of the most exciting players to watch. Colin Miller's shot speed sets the bar for defensemen Winnipeg Jets defenseman Colin Miller leads in top shot speed over Tampa Bay Lightning 's Victor Hedman, whose shot was timed at 99.20 mph. Miller's hard shots have been a huge boost to his team's offense, and the Jets are relying on him in crunch time in the playoffs. His shot speed is also one of the highest during the regular season, making him even more Winnipeg's own. Jake Guentzel's high-danger shots remain in front of Tampa Bay Lightning Tampa Bay Lightning right wing Jake Guentzel has been nearly unstoppable in high-danger shot attempts this playoffs, and he leads the league with eight such attempts in only three games.

His play alongside Brayden Point has paid off in providing high-risk opportunities, with the two contributing greatly to Tampa Bay's success. Guentzel's consistent performance both in the regular season and postseason renders him an asset player for the Lightning squad. Mackenzie Blackwood's stellar goaltending for Colorado Avalanche Colorado Avalanche goalie Mackenzie Blackwood has been an unlikely anchor in the crease this playoffs, with 30 high-danger saves. Blackwood, who's faced 33 high-danger chances in four games, has maintained a .909 save percentage, keeping his club in contention in a tight playoff fight. Traded at midseason from the San Jose Sharks, Blackwood's effort has been vital to the Avalanche, especially in clutch situations where the stakes are highest.
