Confession time! I designed my own house around a Nantucket meets Hamptons fantasy that I’ve had in my head for years, long before I ever set foot on the island. One ferry ride later every instinct was validated. Cedar shakes, blue hydrangeas, American flags as far as the eye can see…amazing! Nantucket style is coastal decor at its most refined. East Coast perfection!
This month’s edit bottles that breezy Nantucket charm so you can sprinkle it over your own summer gatherings, whether you’re hosting a clambake on an actual dock or you’re hosting friends with a beautiful Nantucket inspired table on your back porch. From a Ralph Lauren chic striped rug to Mark Sikes cache pots, every pick nods to the islands refined, less-is-more aesthetic. Ready to dive into Nantucket bliss?
