East Hampton Style 2 - Thank You Sally Quinn

I just got an e-mail newsletter from Architectural Digest with photos of Grey Gardens as it is now, and an article talking with Sally Quinn. Best of all it's photographed by my favorite guy Peter Vitale! So I had to hop to and share some of the photos with you all! You can go HERE to read the article and see more photos.

The house looks wonderful! A happy ending after all.

Rose chintz is used throughout, a nod to the roses planted in the gardens.

Simple coir rugs are used, that look very much like the kind you can pick up at Pier One, or Cost Plus World Market. I like that the house doesn't look overdone and over decorated. It looks like the houses I remember, including my own little Victorian cottage on Springs Fireplace Road.

This vintage newspaper poster kind of brings back the happy early days that the Beales spent in Grey Gardens, the 1930's.

What a pretty bouquet of cosmos! And the table setting is delightful too.

This is a little sitting room off the kitchen. I love the old stove! I had one like this in my house. I also love all the old quilts Sally Quinn uses throughout the house. This is something I saw alot of Hamptons ladies do, including Lauren Bacall.

The master bedroom is so pretty. The iron bed is making me smile. They are so out of fashion now, and I like that Sally uses one anyway! Again, my master had a white iron bed! I guess the houses in the Hamptons dictate all the tried and true touches that decorators have used for a zillion years ha ha.

Thank you all for taking so many trips to Grey Gardens with me. I can almost smell....the sea air!
