Interior Design

I have no idea where the notion I had of Martha's Vineyard being a suburb in New England owned by the said, 'Martha Stewart', came from, it is most definitely an Urban myth. Put it down to the fact that I am a Kiwi on the other side of the world and forgive my previous ignorance. Once I began blogging about interior design I quickly learn't that Martha's Vineyard is a small island located South of Cape Cod, and not named after Martha. Regardless, I knew this area had some lovely homes, so I wanted to share one today. Before you move onto the images, I want to give you a brief background to the location of this home. As I have said, Martha's Vineyard is an island South of Cape Cod in Massachusetts.  It has always been a holiday destination and can be accessed by Ferry from most locations, In fact, if you don't mind the long trip, there is a ferry from New York to Martha's Vineyard taking 16.5 hours which is an awful long time but I would say well worth it...

Above: Excuse me being in this shot, I was too much in a rush Everyone knows I love Hamptons style, so much so it has been my dream to have a beach house with an interior that depicts all that is Hamptons and finally my dreams have come true. Hamptons inside and cottage outside, I love everything about this 160 square metre home. Sadly, it is a bitter-sweet affair as I am going to rent it out for the next five years until I pay off the mortgage but we have some wonderful tenants in place. Down the track it will become our holiday home and possibly a place to retire. One benefit of not moving in for a few years is that I can save up to furnish and finish off the landscaping exactly how I want it. If you have just stumbled across my blog, I have previously shared the progress of the beach house in earlier posts, (links at the end of this post).
