What makes East Coast coastal design so enduring? In this episode, I sit down with celebrated design duo
Gary McBournie and
Bill Richards of
McBournie Richards Interiors to unpack the quiet beauty of seaside living—think clapboard siding, painted floors, collected antiques, and the sun-washed palette that feels effortless and elegant.
With decades of experience crafting richly layered interiors across Nantucket, Palm Beach, and beyond, Gary and Bill share the subtle hallmarks of East Coast coastal design, the role of heirlooms and storytelling in their work, and the ways history shapes a place. They also open up about their firm's recent rebrand and what it means to design with a sense of place–and permanence.
Plus, get a special sneak peek into this year's Nantucket by Design!
