Heather Vaughan Design

May 17, 2017

When Newton, Massachusetts-based interior designer Heather Vaughan and her husband Michael become empty nesters, they did what all kids wished their parents did: purchase a beachfront cottage! Built in 1910 on an isthmus in Scituate, Massachusetts, the charming cottage (photographed here by Greg Premru) had definitely seen better days. But once renovations began, they uncovered the home’s beautiful bones…we’re talking wood plank ceilings, fir floors and bead-board panelings! With the perfect backdrop in place, the designer gave the home a colorful, collected look with traditional accents and plenty of funky finds. I absolutely adore the eclectic, laid-back vibe! So many unique pieces in every space paired with a captivating use of color, texture and pattern. You know Heather had a ton of fun designing the home–and her guests have just as much fun staying there! Don’t even get me started on that amazing view!! To read an article all about the home and learn sources, go here! And for even more inspiring projects by this talented designer, go here!

    Thank you Erin! Just gorgeous. Very happy to see my hometown Scituate featured. No wonder it looked familiar. Also happy to see those beautiful velvet teal chairs! We just got bought two sofas in a similar color and we are loving them!

I’m Erin and I am obsessed with the color turquoise. I started this blog to collect inspirational photos I find of fabulous rooms that feature all of the lovely shades of my favorite color. For even more turquoise, visit my shopping blog Everything Turquoise!
