With a typical New England Noreaster on its way, I think we can all agree that warmer weather can't come soon enough. No offense to winter or anything - I do love being inside and under a fuzzy blanket with a cup of hot cocoa on frigid evenings... but I'm getting anxious for flip flops and sun dresses. Anyway, during my routine surfing this morning, I came across this quaint Nantucket cottage owned and designed by Jeffrey Bilhuber.

The ceiling was removed to reveal the rafters underneath. It really opens up the small space!

Bilhuber decided to keep this space somewhat simple, as he thought too much luxury would overwhelm this small space.

The door leading to the kitchen was sealed. Bilhuber kept the natural grey finish of the walls and popped some crisp whites.

Check out the floating dressing table in front of the recessed window. Love that!

I love the bureaus being used as nightstands. Their height matches the window sill height, and the tops of the bed pillows - very simple but powerful detail.
Ok, so who's ready for some summer getaways?
