No words are really needed for this beautiful Nantucket retreat designed by Rebecca Ascher with Joshua Davis of Ascher Davis Architects. I really like that sectional in the second photo from Scandinavian Design, and the mixture of the Knoll chairs and banquette in the breakfast area. In an interview with Elle Decor, July/August 2011 issue, Mrs. Ascher says the style is “Nantucket meets Miami” and adds: “It has a relaxed elegance to it. You can come off the beach and sit down and not worry about the sand on your feet. The floor has a slightly beaten look, to go with the sand-duney nature of the site.” Definitely relaxed elegance!

Oh how I would like to soak in that tub right now. I've been up on my feet all day arranging furniture, unpacking boxes, etc. etc. And now there's an excel spreadsheet of lovely research calling my name (but also a lemon pie backing in the oven....and yes, it is 11 PM here...).
ReplyDeleteWhat was I saying? ;)
That bathroom is incredible! Such a perfect escape for a holiday - I'm dreaming!
