SOPHISTICATED IN SOUTHAMPTON
I’ve thumbed through last month’s issue of Architectural Digest so many times, always landing on this historic Southampton estate recently reimagined by interior design team Atelier AM, that it was definitely worth a little tour here on the blog. The interiors are sophisticated and beautifully restrained, from the French-inspired kitchen that opens to the screened…

INSPIRED DESIGN: MCGRATH 2

AN ENGLISH-INSPIRED HOUSE IN THE VILLAGE
One of my favorite things to do when the weather is nice is to drive or walk past some of my favorite homes in the area; I actually wouldn’t be surprised if the owners of some of them know me and my car by sight by now with as many times as I’ve stopped to…
GET THE LOOK: BLUE AND WHITE PERFECTION ON LONG ISLAND
It’s been a while since I’ve shared a home tour, but once I saw this Long Island beauty by designer Sarah Bartholomew, decorated from top to bottom in blue and white, it was too beautiful not to share!
