I’m excited to share the first before and after from my family’s home on Nantucket! This is one of the guest bedrooms on the second floor and for the past fifteen years we’ve referred to it as the fish room because of the unfortunate underwater-themed fabric on the window treatments and slipper chair. It finally has a fresh look with white walls, dark wood floors, painted headboards, new bedding, a new jute rug, new lighting, and new cover for the slipper chair! My mom and I agree on our dislike of themed decorating (or themed weddings for that matter — don’t get me started!) and really, shouldn’t every beach house be decorated in blue and white?
The new bedding was a lucky find from Nordstrom’s home department. They just started carrying Southern Tide’s home collection and I think all the bedding is so cute! (By the way, not quite right for Nantucket, but these pineapple sheets were meant for a dorm room or first apartment!) The striped comforters are by Nautica and then we brightened them up with Southern Tide pillows in bright cobalt and nautical stripes. I love the way everything pops against the newly white headboards (which you may have seen me painting on Instagram stories a while back!). I have so many Nordstrom home favorites right now so I’ll link a bunch in the slideshow at the end of the post. Enjoy and happy weekend! xx

LOVE the new lamp — are you able to share where in the world you found them? Obsessed! The room looks so wonderful — congratulations!
Looks great! Please tell me you kept the Adirondack chair lamp for a touch of kitschy flair 😂
Hi! The room looks so beautiful!! Where is the print from?
It’s by Eric Holch 🙂
Love how it turned out! Looks like Rory found a new favorite space!
Wow wow wow, I have no words. You styled the dark bedsheets so well! I love the minimal white lines on the dark blue – I like to stick to whites because I’m not as adventurous, but this has really opened up more possibilities for me when decorating my future room. The guests will be so happy to stay in the room, haha!
