Island Style & History
In spite of its title, this is not a post about coastal decor. While I have a deep abiding love for the homes of Martha’s Vineyard, Nantucket, Bermuda, the BVI’s and beyond – not to mention the Florida Keys, where I spent last week – today I wanted to take a closer look at how…

I think it’s finally time to start blogging about the renovation my family has been planning for, oh, about 4 years. After a series of postponements and false starts, we are ready to go now.

We made it to the end of the first week of 2017! It feels good to be getting back into the swing of things, although I have to say, I am really dreading the ‘putting away of Christmas,’ which we have decided to do this weekend. As fun as it is decorating for the season,…

We are at an exciting stage in defining the interior of our new home – kitchen design.
