John Robshaw Brings Nantucket Style to Greydon House

Just in time for summer, John Robshaw has transformed a Greydon House guest room into the Blue & White Room – filled with the signature Nantucket style you know and love.

No one knows Nantucket style better than John Robshaw. His bedding, pillows, and ikats have been hailed by ELLE Decor as “status symbols for the fashionable set.” That’s why every room at Greydon House features John Robshaw’s bedding, and why we asked John to take over one of our guest rooms to launch his new collection.

“As Nantucket is known for the nautical blue and white color combination, we thought it would be fun to create a Blue & White Room using our spring collection,” says John. “Everything from the bedding to the pillows to the wall art to the robe is part of our new line.”

Striped Dabu Rug

John has always loved the depths of indigo vats in India, with their metallic glimmer. On one excursion, he learned about Dabu rug printing, a hand block printing process that uses a clay resist, which dries on the rugs in the sun. Once the clay is dry, the rugs are dipped into the natural indigo vat. He met a jolly indigo vat wallah outside of Jaipur, named Ram, and his sister Gyarsi, who prints the rugs.
