Since Jacqui and Wayne Budd spent their summers in Wesleyan Grove on Martha's Vineyard, it seemed inevitable that they would eventually find a permanent summer retreat to escape the city and entertain friends. They did so when they bought a charming cottage originally built in the late 1800s. Today, backsplash designs can be as simple or as elaborate as a homeowner's taste dictates. Learn the new trends that are emerging in backsplash design. Combine the French origin of a homeowner (who also happens to be a master chef at one of Boston's most prestigious restaurants) and an ocean view on three sides and the result is Illuminata, a magnificent home on Cape Ann's Gold Coast.
