Seascape | Natural beauty such as Squam Beach, influenced the designer’s vision.
Porch Perch | Gigi, one of the couple’s three Bichon Frises, relaxes on a teak sofa from Logan Gardens covered in a Caribbean blue fabric. The antique fisherman’s net and Madaket sign add vintage flair.
Sitting Pretty | In the living room, Dujardin chose a marine blue from Summer Hill Ltd. for the sofa and loveseat. The sconces are by Nessen; the cocktail table was custom-made by Matthews & Parker. The Fred Ely basket came from the Dane Gallery in Nantucket; the mohair throw from Nantucket Looms.
On Point | The Brant Point lighthouse is a familiar landmark in town.
Serene Scene | From the roof walk, houseguests get a panoramic view.
Bathing Beauty | The beach-themed guest room features a daybed from Maine Cottage. The white matelasse cover is from Ralph Lauren; the pillows and bolsters by Country Swedish.
Tranquil Beauty | On the calm north shore, Dionis Beach is ideal for swimming.
Treasure Trove | The library holds a collection of Nantucket memorabilia.
Blues Power | The master bedroom features a pastel color scheme. Dujardin designed the window treatments, bed linens and chair, which is covered in fabric from Summer Hill Ltd.
Make Waves | Cisco Beach on the south shore is known for its heavy surf.
Bits of Whimsy | On the Maine Cottage guest bed, a sailor hooked pillow and pillows in a crab and starfish motif. A handmade blue ribbon runs above the beadboard.
Finishing Touches | The cherry-topped buffet was made to order and features nontoxic paint and finishes. The ship’s lantern above the McGuire glass-topped dining table was made in England; the bulbs are from France.
Beach Bound | A couple strolls at nearby Madaket Beach.
Vintage Finds | A rare, 18th-century mint-condition British Woolie, a 19th-century campaign chest and a brass “honor” box are prized possessions.
