Welcome to Laughing Gull Hill
Atop Cotuit Harbor here on Cape Cod sits Laughing Gull Hill and our very special design studio. This creative space is housed in Sea Captain James Childs’ home dating back to the late 1700s. Oh if these walls could talk, so many stories and secrets to tell. Many different businesses have been run from this location. Cotuit was central to the whaling industry with ships from all around the world coming and going on a regular basis. Just think about all the wonderful treasures and creations brought home to our little village. Seems pretty fitting that today our growing textile and wallpaper company is sending coastal inspired goods around the world.

Hi, I'm Beth Odence!
My love for the coast began when I took my first job out of college in East Hampton, Long Island. Being a landlocked upstate New Yorker I had to learn how to navigate the waves and that life revolved around the water.
Fast forward a few years and I married a Cape Cod sailor. Learning to sail opened my eyes to the rhythm of the tides, the beauty of wind-worn shores, and the stories the ocean leaves behind. Beach walks with my daughters deepened my appreciation for mother nature’s cast offs as they collected seashells, beach stones and seaweed, shaping my approach to design. Summers on Cape Cod led to a year-round home staging and interior design business, where renovating our family’s 1700s Sea Captain’s home taught me the value of preservation, sustainability, and keeping a home true to its surroundings.
Preservation and protection—of both memories and the environment—are at the heart of what we do.
Responsibly Sourced Linen
At Laughing Gull Hill, our commitment lies in offering sustainable and distinctive fabrics that elevate your home. Every design undergoes a meticulous process, starting with hand-sketching and culminating in printing on 100% Belgian Linen sourced from Libeco, using the most eco-friendly inks available.
Linen, derived from the flax plant, forms the foundation of our eco-sustainable fabric, produced without the use of pesticides. The inherent nature of both our fabric and inks renders our products ideal for homes with pets and children, combining the perfect hand and weight for upholstery, accent pillows, and window treatments. The unique charm of our hand-drawn designs effortlessly adds the much-needed "wow factor" to your living spaces.
Our High Quality Matte Wallpapers
We work with leading USA-based wallpaper producers to print our hand-sketched designs with sustainable inks on premium matte wallpaper. The results are striking designs that will transform your unique coastal space.
