This Nantucket cottage photographed by <a href="http://www.gridleygraves.com/" target="_blank">Gridley + Graves</a> is especially calling my name–I'm obsessed with all things Nantucket! The owners worked with architect <a href="http://www.thornewilldesign.com/" target="_blank">Luke Thornewill</a> and interior designer Janet Kielley on the two-year-long renovation of the historic cottage. (With the sea right there, who can complain?!) I love the cute kitchen...did you notice they used a piece of driftwood for the handle on the fridge? I've never seen that before! Get even more ideas when you tour the rest of the home <a href="http://www.countryliving.com/homes/house-tours/coastal-decorating-ideas#slide-1" target="_blank">here</a>!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/i-gTbT77T/0/O/i-gTbT77T.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 78%;"><a href="http://www.chanceco.com/">Chance</a></span></div>I'm getting ready to start packing here...Chris and I are headed on a vacation to Chicago, one of our favorite places! (It's no Nantucket, but they do have a really big lake!) I'll be away from the computer all next week, but look forward to some great guest bloggers filling in for me! Have a wonderful week, and enjoy the upcoming holiday! :)<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

I love that Garrison prefers palettes inspired by the “amber waves of grain” landscapes of his Midwest childhood. (Yay for the Midwest!)
