Last week I led a whirlwind two-day design & antiques tour to some of the interior design industry's most talented. My friend Toma Clark Haines of the Antiques Diva is expanding her antiques sourcing business from Europe to the United States, and put the Hamptons on the top of her list of places to bring design aficionados to hunt for antiques. Having lived in the area my entire life, I cultivated a design and history expertise for the area, and I feel a good advocate for the Hamptons. Take a look at the story in New York Spaces about our tour. It is my pleasure to become a part of this rich experience, and hopefully we will make it an annual event. I worked to source the very best and most unique antiques shops, yet pepper the journey with cultural spots along the way in order to show the other side of the Hamptons, the place I love. One of our most favorite visits was to Madoo Conservancy, a non profit, 2-acre, bucolic garden in the residential area of Sagaponack. The garden was a respite for us after a busy day, and the conservancy's head Alessandro Bruigo enthusiastically gave us an educational and inspirational exploration of this stellar garden.
