HOME TOUR: THE VINALHAVEN HEADQUARTERS OF MARSTON HOUSE

Open your eyes, and there is the water—a wind-rippled sweep of the brightest liquid blue. Sailboats, lobster boats, fishing boats, all bobbing around the harbor, against a backdrop of antique Capes, 18th and 19th Century grand homes and weathered red bait shacks. They’re nested, here and there, where the sea and the sky meet the shore and the trees.
