A stunning look inside the gorgeous homes and creative spaces of
Martha’s Vineyard, capturing the true soul of Vineyard life and
the artisans who live thereWhile the Hamptons has stolen all the
attention as the chic summer spot, a secret society of tastemakers
and creatives have chosen the lower-key island of Martha’s
Vineyard to hone their crafts and make their homes. The picturesque
island just six miles off the coast of Cape Cod has a long history
as a geographical muse for artists and writers: Lillian Hellman and
William Styron wrote while overlooking the Vineyard Haven harbor,
and Thomas Hart Benton painted the winding roads of what is known
as “Up-island” more than 100 years ago.Vineyard Folk reveals
how a new generation continues to build on these creative legacies,
resulting in homes as unique and diverse as their creators.
Directly informed by their personalities and the varied island
landscapes, the result is a mix of weathered, sea-side ambience,
cutting-edge design, and New England tradition. From modern glass
houses overlooking the red cliffs of Aquinnah and jewel-box fishing
cottages in Menemsha to rambling farmhouses behind Chilmark’s
hand-built stone walls, the candy-colored Victorians of Oak
Bluff’s historical African American community, and stately
19th-century whaling Captain mansions in Edgartown, all the homes
have stories to tell and inspiration to share. Contributor list:
