Our Home....Nantucket Style

No, I don't live in Nantucket....but I wish I did. I live in New Jersey. We moved here about fourteen years ago. We came by way of London.

We were not familiar with New Jersey at all....we just drew a circle on a map that felt like a reasonable commute for my husband....and this is where we landed

Our Home
Fourteen years ago

It was sweet

It was also much smaller than it appeared.

 So, after seven or eight years of saving....we hired an architect. 

I told him I wanted a Nantucket beach house

And this is our home today.



So, in my mind....I live in Nantucket. This blog is where I plan and tackle projects for my home. 

You can see my dining room here

You can see my master bedroom here.

Where do you wish you could live?

Nantucket would be an amazing place to live. Your home would fit in so well! I love the transformation. The roof lines that match the existing barn shape really make all the diffence, don't they? And the stone, I love the stone. Simply beautiful.

What a gorgeous house! I wish I lived anywhere with actual seasons. I live in the desert in Arizona and our two seasons are hot and REALLY, REALLY HOT! I do pretend to live somewhere much cooler thanks to air-conditioning. I'm so happy to have found your blog through your comment on mine. Can't wait to see all your posts this month!
