NANTUCKET TOWN COTTAGE
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Built sometime around 1848, the renovation of this cottage adjacent to the Nantucket Downtown Historic District includes all the classic summer cottage qualities. Weathered white cedar shingles and simple trim, complemented by trellised roses and colorful flower boxes, clad this compact in-town dwelling. The cleverly expansive interior is simply, but finely detailed. Traditional, white-painted shiplap walls and ceilings contrast the dark, wide plank floors of informal spaces. The whole kitchen and sitting space is made more spacious by foregoing upper cabinets. A simple formality to the living room is appropriate to the diminutive cottage setting. An intimate outdoor room, tucked away from the street becomes an added room in good weather.
