I’m delighted that my summer home on Nantucket is featured in the April issue of Traditional Home Magazine, on stands now. My husband Frank and I fell in love with this older home in Madaket, near the most beautiful beach on the island, and began a renovation project to make this house perfect for relaxed summer living. I consider it a blessing to live in a house that’s just big enough: big enough to invite friends and family to join us for lazy weekends, and small enough to be manageable. I call it my new “cottage living” phase of life.
I tell my clients that “a healthy home is the ultimate luxury,” and this house is both welcoming and healthy! We carefully removed any building materials with lingering toxic off gassing, and refinished ceilings, walls, cabinetry and floors with nontoxic paints. A state of the art ventilation system makes sure the air inside is as fresh and clean as the ocean breezes outside. And of course, I decorated with all my favorite things, including my collection of nautical antiques.
