If you're on the island be sure to visit Ocean Park (shown here) in Oak Bluffs tonight for the annual fireworks display. There will be a band starting at 7 pm, with the fireworks scheduled to begin around 9.

Oak Bluffs is a fun and vibrant island community commonly known for it's colorful 'gingerbread cottage' homes. We like to pay homage to 'cottage city' by pairing our many shades of green™ oak bluffs dining table with a range of colorful chairs, such as the palette shown here (wampum, margarita and gingerbread blue).




We are also loving our new olive street 'cottage city' apartment sofa! It's sure to add the perfect cottage touch to any home. Happy weekend and we hope to see you at the fireworks tonight!

quitsa nesting tables

view of Quitsa Pond

Part of our many shades of green™ line, our quitsa nesting tables are inspired by the beauty of Quitsa Pond. Quitsa Pond is located 'up island' in the town of Chilmark and sits adjacent to the larger Menemsha Pond. Known for it's tranquility and gorgeous views, this area is a popular inspiration for island artists.

Our quitsa nesting tables are simple, versatile, and acceptable in any decor. They are finished in ZERO VOC paint in any of our 30 colors inspired by island of Martha's Vineyard (shown here in 'lichen'). Stop by Interiors Studio at 7 Beach Street to view these tables in person.
