Dining Room

FRENCH DOORS AND WINDOWS BRIGHTEN UP A SUNROOM.

These are pictures from a Nantucket design show house…a house put on display and decorated by some of Nantucket’s best interior decorators. I went to this show house a few years back with my friends FF and JL (now JH).

The overall decor of the house was quite formal and was far too traditional for my taste…but this room – the sunroom definitely appealed to my decor sensibilities. Somehow even though this sunroom featured very traditional decor, it had a modern fresh feel to it…that’s because it is a room surrounded by glass…where the outdoors is brought inside.

This room was completely surrounded with french doors and french windows. At one end is a seating area with a comfy looking rattan sofa with floral cushions and some darker wicker chairs with matching seat pillow. While the furniture (which includes a large square coffee table) definitely make the space inviting…it is really the brightness of the room that is most appealing – thanks to the french doors and window.

The other end of the sunroom features a large oval dining room table in a darker wood finish…it is surrounded by the same rattan chairs that grace the sitting area. The hurricane lamp chandelier reminds us that this house is just steps from the water in Nantucket.

As you can see below, in this rear exterior shot of this Nantucket home, the back side of the house is all about the sunroom…which looks out onto a lush garden. The high ceilings, the french doors, french windows and the Nantucket “skyline” make this sunroom bright, cheery and a place where one could happily spend time with family friends at their island getaway.

The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. The bouclé sofa isn’t a trend, it’s a commitment. Soft, sculptural, and impossible to walk past without wanting to sit down. The rooms that get it right pair it with something unexpected: a dramatic mural, an antique screen, a city skyline, a hand-laid mosaic floor.

A well-designed bunk room isn’t just for kids. It’s about making every guest feel like they got the best bed in the house. Built-in storage, thoughtful lighting, and bedding that actually makes you want to climb up top.
Save this for your next build or renovation inspo and follow for more. 🖤

This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎 This Toronto home just redefined “warm modern.” 🤎
Designer Ashley Montgomery layered reclaimed wood beams, brass hardware, and deep walnut millwork against soft plaster walls, and somehow every single room still feels calm. The olive built-ins in the living room, the arched oak doors, that brass shower enclosure in the primary bath... this is what happens when someone actually commits to a palette.

How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️How much summer can you fit into a few days? ☀️⛵️
I flew from Los Angeles to Nantucket for a very quick trip and I’m planning to find out.
Beautiful beaches, boats, gorgeous interiors, time with friends and one last little dose of August.
Turns out you don’t always need a whole week to feel like you got away. 🤍
So happy to be visiting bestie @francesgfayard and her husband Calvin and my godson Carter for a little last minute end of summer travel. New England at its best. Day 1 was a beautiful day. 🤩
You are not going to feel motivated every day. AndYou are not going to feel motivated every day. And you don’t have to.
Some days you’ll feel inspired and everything seems to click. Other days, you’ll question what you’re doing and wonder if any of it is actually working.
The important thing is not to mistake a slow day for a step backward.
You can keep going even when the motivation isn’t there. Some days, showing up is the progress.
Save this for the days when you need the reminder. 🤍
