This is a strange year for many. Birthdays have been postponed, graduations cancelled, and vacations left in limbo. Memorial Day weekend typically marks the beginning of Summer and a time to escape to your beach house or favorite warm weather spot. I find myself struggling with the fact that my annual getaways are on hold as my Groundhog Day-esque routine continues.

This weekend or the weekend before would typically mark my first trip to the island of Nantucket. So as I pack my beach bag to head to the back lawn, I wanted to take a moment to share one of my favorite Nantucket beach houses, designed by one of my longtime design muses.

Victoria Hagan’s home is filled with large windows and French doors, that open to stunning views of Nantucket Harbor. The home has a wonderful way of marrying inside and out for a casual yet sophisticated feel. Hagan pairs tailored pieces, with relaxed slipcovered furniture and coastal textures. Looking at these photos you can almost feel the sea breeze sweeping through the screen.

Whether you are heading to a local Summer spot or enjoying a stay-cation in your backyard, I wish you a Happy Memorial Day weekend!
