Synopsis
Island vacations are all about enjoying the great outdoors, so Mary Jane and Bruce Macklin knew they had a winner when they spotted this newer shingle-style cottage in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
'It has all the primary living spaces on the second floor, so you have a view of the ocean,' Bruce says. 'Plus,' he continues, 'it's just a short jaunt down a dirt road to one of the nicest beaches on the island.'
Mary Jane particularly fell for the big wraparound porch, a wonderful place to relax and take in the surroundings. So, the couple snapped up the house, and Mary Jane refreshed the interiors with charming Nantucket flair. 'I just wanted the spaces to feel airy and inviting and have the house fit the location,' she says. Many of the pieces Mary Jane collects havea nautical vibe that visually connects the house to its proximity to the beach. In addition, Mary Jane used accent color to emphasize the seaside setting.
