Welcome to the blog, design portfolio, and author website of Carolyn Matthews-Daut

Building a picnic table for our back deck was a very fun project! @ben.zd and I drew up plans, primarily based on a diagram from @popularmechanics magazine, and in the end it turned out really well. The lap joints mostly worked too!

Late summer day on the Maine seacoast 💙

I visited Ireland for the first time last summer. Days were spent strolling through the seaside town of Doolin, biking around the Aran Islands and surrounding countryside, and exploring ruins older than my country. This snapshot of horses running through fields, right on the edge of the Cliffs of Moher, captures some of what I felt in these landscapes. The wind and cliffs and the smell of the ocean and wild abandon of horses made me want to jump the fence and join them. ☘️

Thank you to everyone who came out for the book release party last night! I feel so loved and supported. It was wonderful to reconnect with old friends, make some new ones, and hang out with the @putnamsvineyard crew. ♥️ Journey on my friends!

Appalachian Trail Shelter Round Up!

This 19th century fort along Maine’s southern coast at Kittery Point is one of my all time favorites. The blockhouse itself an interesting wooden building with a hexagon shape. This central piece is surrounded by earthwork structures, huge granite walls, powder magazines, rifle houses, a 1863 era caponier, and many massive unused chunks of granite strewn across the lawn. These granite blocks were intended for an outer wall that neared completion in 1868 before work was suspended, leaving the partially built wall and all of these building materials to remain. This fort site was active for 275 years and was manned during five separate wars. Like many Maine forts, Fort McClary never saw battle.

This whirlwind summer is full of love and excitement and new beginnings. For me, this excitement comes hand in hand with anxiety & the feeling like I always have one more thing to do, one more task I’m slightly behind on, one more project to be wrapped up…

It is my absolute pleasure to announce that my book is officially available for purchase!!! You can order your copy of “Paint, Sweat, and Tears: 150 Days on the Appalachian Trail” on Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Link in bio to my author website for more information. Stay tuned for updates on when it will be available in retail and local bookstores.
