Retreat on Martha's Vineyard

Feeling slightly better today, thanks for the get well wishes!<br />Architect Patrick Ahearn built this house on Martha’s Vineyard to look as though it has evolved over time. Interior designer Marigil Walsh was appointed to make it look warm and inviting. Let's take a look.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.nehomemag.com/sites/default/files/images/7/gallery_images/JA10-Ahearn-Vineyard-01.jpg" style="" />The guest house (left) links to the main house. The pottery studio sits to the right.
