Consider this your destination for coastal living: everything from the design of my homes to the sources and everyday rituals that make life by the water feel so special. My hope is to help you bring the joy and peace of the coast into your own life every day, wherever you live.

I grew up in the Northeast, spent a decade on the coast in Southern California, and now split my time between coastal Connecticut and Nantucket, my happy place. Our family’s house on island is the one we bought to keep for life, and it’s where I feel most like myself. Here and on Instagram, I share it all: the rooms, the garden, the design, and the small moments of island life throughout each season.

On Island Time is the idea underneath everything. It’s less about a place and more about a feeling: slowing down, noticing more, living a joyful life, and making home a little more beautiful, wherever you are. My Substack is where I write about it.

I’m also the Founder and Creative Director of Cailini Coastal, a luxury coastal home décor and furnishings brand, where I’ve spent years designing décor, wallpaper, art and furniture collections for coastal homes. You’ll find the pieces I love, from my own designs to my favorite finds, in the Shop.

Wherever your coast may be, I’m so glad you’re here.

Welcome to the beach house!
