Hamptons Designer Showhouse: Details
To wrap up my coverage of the
Hamptons Designer Showhouse
, I thought I would share some of my favorite details found throughout the house which I hadn't shown.
The lower landing, which stopped most viewer's right in their tracks was completed by
Welhil Interiors
. They filled the space with a beautiful bar, a la 1950s and used this beautiful lucite chair at the base of the stair. The end wall was papered with an enormous blow up of a Long Island Map, charming!
The dining room off of the foyer was decorated by
Robert Stilin
. Robert created a contemporary space anchored by a great chandelier that I wanted to take home with me! Robert has been a fixture in showhouses for quite awhile; past Hamptons designer showhouses as well as Kips Bay (see coverage of his 2011 Kips Bay room on
Habitually Chic
).
The Mendelson Group
created a modern stair landing (including this incredible lamp) on the 2nd floor. Notice the wallpaper with the great subtle details.
Patricia Fisher
designed a beautiful and feminine guest room which was a sea of blues. I loved this console table (notice the
Hickory Chair
stools which were found throughout the house used by a few designers.
Haus Interiors
decorated the foyer and it was definitely an eye catching space. This console table and stools reminded me a lot of a Missoni print.
Lillian August
decorated the living room in a charming vintagey beach style. I loved the large scale landscape drawing on the wall.
Meg Braff
, never one to disappoint, turned a pokey butler's pantry and powder room into beautiful spaces through texture and color. This powder room is perfect for a beach house.
Eddie Lee
turned the guest sitting room overlooking the pool into a sophisticated retreat. The colors of celedon green and beautiful blue seemed fresh and crisp. I loved the tufted sofa.
This seating area looked like a great place to sit down with a good book (and martini!)
Keith Baltimore
decorated one of the bedrooms in a vintage style which was so fun: I loved the house of the
Hickory Chair
column in the corner.
The beautiful kitchen was completed by
Bakes and Company
. The carrara tile backsplash is what I would put into my own kitchen and I loved these old storage jars.
Behind the house lies a beautiful pool and enormous poolhouse (the size of most houses which I preferred to the main house!)
The main sitting room of the poolhouse was decorated by
Eileen Kathryn Boyd
. The windows facing the neighbor's yard are covered in gorgeous yellow curtains and enhanced by urn topped columns.
Even the changing area, also decorated by Eileen, left no detail untouched. I see a lot of cute pillows and totebags I'd want to take with me to the beach!
I hope you enjoyed my coverage of the
Design Showhouse
. You still have time to visit the house and see it for yourself for another week -it closes on September 4th.
