black and white in nantucket

Out of all my magazine subscriptions, I have to say that New England Home has been killing it lately!  When I saw the eclectic living room in the Nantucket home of interior designers Lee Bierly and Christopher Drake, my jaw dropped!  Black and white accents, softly weathered furniture and touches of Americana blend together seamlessly to create a casual, comfortable living space that is stunning in its simplicity.  The rest of the house is just as understated and chic – an unexpected departure from what you might expect from a Nantucket summer home (hello, Buffalo check wallpaper!):

Here are my picks for a similar look:

Othello mirrored coffee table

Black and white striped dhurrie rug

Zinc side table

Zebra pillows

Linen and cane back chairs

Carlisle sofa

Canvas directors chair

Corinthian Capital lamp

Red and white vertical stripe fabric by the yard

    Hola
    I errantly thought you were mocking buffalo check wallpaper (hey, I love it, but I'm aged!) . . . so what a surprise to find the photo with the said-same checks and the striped upholstery! I've pinned this photo and blogged about it and my ongoing love of checks! Did you see Southern Living's idea house for this year? They painted huge tan checks on the walls of their family room. It ruled! I'd love to put a huge red buffalo check fabric as a skirt under our kitchen's farmhouse sink. I lack the courage and the fabric! TY for your posts and magazine recommendation! I'm going to have to subscribe to this one, too.
    Sincerely,

    Hi Kay! Yes, I saw it and LOVED it, too! I happen to love the red and black in this home…so lovely and unexpected in a beach house 🙂
