Nantucket Dream Home

I was poking through Pinterest the other day and came across this beautiful image which really captured my imagination:

The image lead me to the blog Inspiring Interiors and a photo spread from a 2010 Issue of New England Home Cape and Islands magazine.

The whole house project is just a beautiful example of fresh New England design style and you can certainly feel the ocean winds wafting through. Design credit goes to the homeowners themselves; Architects Lyman Perry and Scott Hutton; Builder: Ron Winters, 30 Acre Wood; Landscape Design: Elizabeth O’Rourke, Jardin International.



Love, love the simple floaty window treatments.

I sometimes get a little sick of the ubiquitous brown wood or ebonized black Windsor chairs we see in so many New England interiors. But these fresh and breezy blue English style Windsor chairs are perfection.

Okay, okay, black Windsor chairs, but these "Birdcage" style chairs are unique.



I am a sucker for green cabinetry!

Note the black hardware on the shutters, what a great detail when the shutters are open.

Who doesn't love a cozy little nook?

Fantastic black slate floor, black cabinet and the rustic basket. Sigh...

Breath deeply.
