NANTUCKET NATURAL – ISLAND OUTDOOR COLORS INISDE A SMALL BEACH COTTAGE!

July 11, 2011
  • Share
Living room in a cottage with turquoise pillows on a white sectional, two turquoise moroccan poufs, turquoise and white armchairs, a sea grass rug, white coffee table and a chandelier.
Inside a Nantucket beach cottage! (above)

Remember when I told you last week that best of friend FF invited me to Nantucket again this year to hang out with her and her husband CCF and her son CGF (who also doubles as my god child) and the rest of her family for a weekend in July?  I regretfully had to decline due to work trips surrounding showing the COCOCOZY furnishings collection in both Atlanta and New York.  Much regret was involved in declining the invite…much regret.  Oh, and I had also wanted to see the COCOCOZY collection at the Lion’s Paw on Main Street in Nantucket – that posh furnishings store is carrying the line.  Now I need to face reality though…am not going to Nantucket this summer…I am not going…(boo)…I am not going (it’s okay)…I’m not going (I’ll be fine)…I’m not going (chin up, lots to be grateful for)…I am not going (picking self up off the ground)…I am not going to Nantucket this summer (waaaaaaaaaaboooooooohoooooo).  Okay…I have had my meltdown…time to move on.  Sorry you had to witness that…LOL!

Well I can’t be in Nantucket but I can still enjoy all things Nantucket.  Specifically, I am totally enjoying this lovely little cottage from talented interior designer Lynn Morgan who worked with Brooks & Falatico architects on the project.  This tiny renovated guest cottage is in the back of main house in the Wauwinet area of Nantucket.  It is oh so perfectly small with oh so wonderful views.  2 bedrooms, 1 bath and a view.  Perfect vacation spot.

In the design,  Lynn literally took the vibrant outdoor blues and greens and transported those hues right inside.  Lovely turquoise and apple green bursts of color against a white background!  The turquoise Moroccan poufs in the living room, the awesome Sea Bouquet-Bamboo fabric by Susan Harris for Lee Jofa fabric on the upholstered club chairs, right down to the glass dishware in the kitchen cabinets – all in tones of fresh blue and bright green brought right in from the outdoors.

Some things to note in this design…loving the glossy white lacquer floors in the main living spaces and the turquoise blue lacquer floor in the bedroom.  Also, note the design trick in the small kitchen…a mirror backsplash to give the illusion of making the space bigger!  Oh, and must love that over sized white sectional sofa that wraps around an entire corner of the living room….very nice…wouldn’t mind throwing off my shoes there, grabbing a good book (if only I had time for a good book these days) and taking in a good look at the wonderful ocean view.

A deluxe Wolf range, near white Caesarstone counters, white cabinetry with open upper shelving, a white lacquered floor…all make the small kitchen in this Nantucket cottage look as spacious and inviting as can be. (above)

A proper guest house must have a proper seating area on a lovely porch…check…this porch area with built in bench seating and teak outdoor furniture fits the bill! (above)

What do you think of this little Nantucket nest? Could you see yourself being a guest in this small home? What do you like? What might you add or subtract?  Do weigh in!

Thanks to Lynn and Calla from Lynn Morgan Design for sharing these photos!

Happy Monday!

    LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT. Being as crazy for white as I’am, I sometimes wonder if it isn’t to much!!! I mean the furniture of my entire house is white and a don’t regret it, from the Kitchen, to the bathroom cabinets, white. And houses like this give me butterflies in my stomac. I really love it!

    The nantucket cottage furniture arrangement is so helpful for those of us who are not trained in design….So much more seating can be comfortably installed in a space than we’d think…..can’t wait to share..

    I love white, mostly because it’s a pipe dream for us! We have three dogs…. I’d love to have breakfast on that deck, so cozy! Great house, do they have any of your patterns in there?

    Beautiful home, beautiful pictures. I do like the poufs or small ottomans in the living room-where are they from?

    And the big bright lamp?

    Thanks for sharing

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.

Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Mart Comment YES if you want to see a tour of this Martha's Vineyard house. I rented this house for our two week stay in Martha's Vineyard.
