Hi, Everybody! Just a quick post today, as I wanted to let you know I’m making some exciting plans to visit The Hamptons Designer Showhouse this month. Yes, that’s in THE Hamptons on Long Island, New York!

Traditional Home is a presenting sponsor of The Hamptons Designer Showhouse–they are one of my absolute favorite magazines!!
Traditional Home Magazine actually did a fantastic post on last year’s designer house, with lots of great photos.  Below is a link to that article…it’s a good one: http://www.traditionalhome.com/design/showhouses/hampton-designer-showhouse-2013

I can’t wait to see what these fabulous artists (some of my favorite designers) have done with their spaces!  Designer Houses are such a wealth of ideas and inspiration…each room is 100% art supplied from the designer’s own vision.  Plus there are always great new trends and products unveiled at these events.

The Hamptons Designer Showhouse is open through September 1st. You can get more info about visiting the showhouse by checking out their website: http://hamptondesignershowhouse.com/

Sooooo, I just made hotel reservations and concrete plans to make the trip up to the Hamptons (insert high-pitched squeal of delight here!).  I’ll definitely be sharing about the designer house and everything I learn from my visit.

In the meantime, I’ll be blogging about lots of amazing architecture and interiors (My first post on the interiors of the Ebenezer Maxwell Mansion is coming up this Wednesday!).  Please DO feel free to leave me your comments, have you visited the Hamptons Designer Showhouse this year or in the past?  Do you have a favorite A-list designer that did a room in this year’s Hamptons Designer Showhouse?

You know I always love to hear from you, and I’m even more happy if you share my blog and tell your friends about me…I need all the friends I can get!
