Homesick for the Hamptons

One of my oldest and dearest clients owns a home here in Southern California and also one in the Hamptons. I've been fortunate to be a part of designing both properties. My clients ultimate dream will be to sell her Southern California home and retire in the Hamptons once her children are all graduated from school. She recently came to me and expressed that she really wanted to sprinkle a little bit of the Hamptons here in her southern California home just to tide her over until she could move there permanently.

We redid her kitchen (which was the only original part of this home that had not been touched) , repainted walls with Lighter fresher colors, updated her casings and moldings, added grass cloth wallpaper, and lots of new fun fabrics and rugs. The end result was a fresh clean Hampton/coastal vibe...just what the doctor ordered!
