a visit to the hospital + a quiet day

We ended up spending the whole evening / night last night at the Childrens Hospital with Lauren. Darn asthma :(
She's doing better today with the help of alot of inhalers and steroids... it's such a relief to see the turnaround. I did end up getting a nap with her today.. and let me just say it was fabulous, and just what we needed!

Since I was home from work with her, I had a chance to flip through some magazines, I read Traditional Home for the first time and have to say while all the content wasn't my taste, there were a few great pieces-

Katie Browns home and shop-

and a renovated Hampton's home, classic and perfect-

Store front

I was admiring retail store fronts in the Hamptons again..

Nikki Eve, Tommy Hilfiger + Hermes

still loving Jill

It was love when we were first invited into Jill Stewarts amazing New York apartment.

You can only imagine how much I would love a glimpse inside her 7000 square foot Hamptons home.


Her shop has the same airy qualities as her New York home.

I may have found my new favorite website.

This house in East Hampton is beyond stunning. Beautiful, the kitchen, the details.. sigh

only $5,999,000 :)

details

An 18 month renovation that stemmed back 6 years as Paul Rogers got to know his home. Paul says you need to live in the house, see how the light moves through it, understand the flow and then you can begin to improve upon it - I'd have to agree, it's beautiful with it's re purposed woods, bold vibrant colors and really great additions ( like the banister ).

Hamptons Cottage & Gardens

open+air

image. house beautiful

such a fantastic mix of elements in this hamptons cottage. The space comes across so calm, yet it is full of life and color. Such a lovely cane chair, and lucite coffee table. Small details like the trim on the drapes, and the smattering of dark pieces really ground the room, and focus your eye in key places. Light wood floors and monochromatic colors leave the space airy. Beautiful.
