The Summer House

Two words—summer house—evoke a sense of nostalgia, relaxation, and understated elegance. From sunbeams crossing a painted wooden floor to mismatched porcelain piled high on open shelves, these seasonal homes inspire both home decor ideas and memorable spaces to entertain and enjoy.

Step inside a dozen iconic summer houses in the Northeast, each offering unique insights into style, architecture, and interior design. Some are rustic and secluded, others modern and streamlined; some showcase bold colors and collections, while others reflect a quiet, nostalgic charm. Featured homes include Sister Parish’s family retreat in Islesboro, Maine; designer Ken Fulk’s Provincetown escape; and Ashe Leandro’s modern farmhouse on Martha’s Vineyard.

Whether you’re a design enthusiast seeking inspiration for your own home decor or looking for a thoughtful book as a gift, The Summer House offers stunning visuals and stories that make it an ideal choice for gifting to loved ones.
