We were honored to be included as one of twenty participating designers in the Hampton Designer Showhouse 2019 sponsored by Traditional Home. We wanted to share some details outlining our process for the room. From an original Stanford White gilt mirror to an Isamu Noguchi paper light sculpture, our room celebrates the creative bastion that Long Island is and has been for many generations. As a descendant of Stanford White, I have enjoyed Long Island through a lens set up by him and his wife, Bessie Smith. Through the generations, their summer home has become a place where natural materials live alongside combinations of furnishings. Art and furniture collected on journeys or produced by their friends are juxtaposed with antiques in an elevated environment that always feels relaxed and welcoming.We wanted to share this experience through the elements of decoration in Bedroom Number 5.Shells and stones from the beach were our inspiration for the subtle color palette found in the walls and fabrics. The furnishings are a mix of French Antiques, Mid-century as well as newly crafted pieces.The art included represents four generations of descendants of Stanford White as well as current photographers and artists from across the world.
