Martha’s Vineyard Island

Linda and her husband Jules bought this place in 2009, in the idyllic Martha’s Vineyard island in Massachusetts. They did not think immediately of a major renovation, until Linda met Tamara, the owner of an eclectic boutique, and invited her over for a consultation. From there, the renovation project began. Tamara brought in old barn beams for the dining-room ceiling and transformed the kitchen with custom cabinets of salvaged oak and hemlock. « Worn materials add warmth and history », explains the shopkeeper, who is also an interior designer. The 1931 home, which sits atop a hill overlooking the ocean, offered 10 acres and enough bedrooms for the couple’s three children and two grandchildren.
