Nest & Rest in The Hamptons

James Huniford’s Interiors

It was an all white gala affair at the 2nd Annual Holiday House Hamptons opening party presented by HC&G (Hamptons Cottages & Gardens) last Saturday, June 28th in the quaint town of Sag Harbor, New York. This Decorators Showhouse which has quickly gained popularity for its high credentials of star-studded list of high profiled designers and committee members, is also noteworthy for raising funds to help The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®. This year, the model house took place at the much-anticipated Watchcase (which is under construction, and we were told that every single unit is already sold). Holiday House Hamptons officially opened on Sunday, June 29, 2014, at 15 Church Street in Sag Harbor, New York.The showhouse will be open to the public daily through Labor Day, September 1st.

Being in the country, many of the designers, like Milly de Cabrol had the lovely fortune of showcasing some airy and memorable outdoor living spaces. The overall decoration of the house can be described as a sort of easy elegance, mixed with the most luxurious designs for the home and gardens. And why not? Surely, the surrounding neighborhood most certainly can afford them. Watchcase, the unit in question, is a 130-year old historic, former watchcase factory undergoing a dramatic transformation by the developers Cape Advisors into the Hamptons’ first resort-style luxury condominium project. Upon completion, Watchase will hosts a two-bedroom penthouse loft, a six-bedroom townhouse and a one-bedroom bungalow.

The participating designers for the 2nd annual Holiday House Hamptons are: Bjørnen Design, ID Creations, Brady Design, Jen Going Interiors, Campion Platt, Milly de Cabrol – Ani Antreasyan, Dale Cohen Design Studio, Scott Formby, Elizabeth Dow Home, Studio MRS, Elsa Soyars Interior Design, Tamara Magel, Eugenia Au Kim, The Design Studio, Terra Design, Huniford Design Studio, Vicente Wolf, and West Chin Architects.
