So excited to share that we were featured in Better Homes & Gardens ✨

We were asked to share our thoughts on how to bring Nantucket style home, and I kept coming back to the same feeling. It should feel like a long summer afternoon. Unhurried and completely at ease.

Here are a few of my favorite ways to get the Nantucket look, on or off the coast:

Think layers, natural light, bringing the outdoors in, texture, a mix of layered prints, antiques and vintage finds that give a room its soul, warm wood tones, linen, rattan, open and airy spaces, patina finishes, and of course outdoor living.

Thank you Better Homes & Gardens for the wonderful feature.

Progress from up north. 😍

A few scenes from a recent site visit at our Michigan up north project. There’s a shared love in this one for a softer palette—leaning into all the blues that feel so connected to Michigan living and life by the lake.

It’s really starting to take shape, and we can’t wait to show you more as it continues to unfold.

As we head into Memorial Day weekend, let’s all take a moment to remember and pause.

To honor the lives given, the sacrifice made, and the courage that shaped the freedom we live in every day.

I’m reminded that even the simplest things, light pouring through a window, gathered spaces, a sense of home, and the ability to create, design, and do work I love, are privileges built on that sacrifice.

We are forever grateful.

Signing off for the holiday weekend 🇺🇸
