Nantucket has the tradition of naming houses. It's a nautical island with many of its original settlers finding work on the sea, and often supplies for their houses along the beaches. This closeness to ships, with a few washed up boat names thrown in, and naming your house just like a boat seems to have evolved quite naturally.
We decided to have a quarter board with 'Sweet Pea' made up, with a nod to its green roof and general cuteness. That's the name of our ship!
And this is our figure head, just installed today-
Can't wait for this ship to sail!
