内容简介

"Hamptons Havens" offers readers a glimpse behind the hedgerows of the Hamptons. The lavish photographs are drawn from the archives of "Hamptons Cottages and Gardens" magazine and feature 24 homes and gardens that vary greatly in architecture and interior design. Every home in the book, from cozy cottage to grand estate, is a testament to the enormous breadth and natural beauty of the region. Accompanying the spectacular photographs are engrossing stories about each home, with magnificent accounts about the history of the homes and their architecture, the fascinating provenance of the furniture and heirlooms that decorate the homes, and personal family lore. There are plenty of first-hand quotes from the homeowners and decorators who lovingly recount how they discovered the area and who discuss, with great humour, the entertaining story of how their d cor, style, landscape and personal lives evolved over the years to create homes and gardens ranging from the traditional and classic to the whimsical and eclectic.
