From a tired 1970's home into an incredible Hamptons style house, check out this home makeover and learn all the transformation details!

Creating a Classic Hamptons Kitchen The Hamptons interior design style is about refined elegance, and also a sense of comfort, function, and livability. The kitchen is often a key gathering place in a home, so it makes sense that you would want it to capture all of these elements. A Hamptons style kitchen should be a place where people feel comfortable gathering, entertaining, cooking, and relaxing. In general, the following are some things to keep in mind: Colour palettes tend to be in line with what you...

While perusing Laura Fenton's new book, The Little Book of Living Small, we were happy to see designer Glenn Ban's compact East Hamptons home featured. Jul

One of America's favorite cookbook authors is Ina Garten. She lives and works in East Hampton, in a lovely shingle style home with beautiful manicured gardens. Her cookbooks are full of easy recipes and lots of hints on great entertaining, but I find myself looking at the photos of her house and her garden just as much as the food photography Lets go on a garden tour!!! This is actually a somewhat newer remodeled home that she and her husband Jeffrey purchased, after living in a rental property, while she ran her successful food business The Barefoot Contessa. She hired landscape designer Edwina Von Gal to create a series of Parterre gardens on 1/4 acre of land near the house, calling it the "kitchen garden". Initially she envisioned the parterres filled with vegetables but as most gardeners find out, deer and squirrels will take a bite out of just about anything edible. The parterres soon became filled with flowers and very little in the way of herbs and vegetables. Over the next ten years she tried to persuade her neighbor to sell her his property (so she could build a new kitchen and entertaining area) but to no avail...then finally in 2006 the owner acquiesced and Ina acquired the property and was able to build a new barn inspired kitchen, a walled herb garden and cotinued to plant more beautiful expanses of flowers and trees Ina is so cute! The photo above from an early cookbook shows the young boxwood hedges and lavenders just starting to fill in. Boxwood hedging is really wonderful but takes years to look really full. The porch with the wisteria vine has since been screened and now has a permanent roof. I love some of the old wood fencing and little sheds she has on the property. No matter how hard people try, the look of time worn wood and the structure of old trees and shrubs just cannot be duplicated The new barn sits directly across from the house Below is the new walled herb and vegetable garden which sits adjacent to the new barn. To be honest, I'm not sure how much I like this garden. I love the rustic touches in the barn design but I hope she plants it full of veggies and wonderful produce. It will be so much prettier. The walled garden has really filled in, in these photos... love the simple bird bath Here Ina is growing cherry tomatoes, chard, dill, squash just to name a few. In the corner is a fig tree! I think Ina's tomatoes are in need of some trellis work...nice to see some one else has these crazy 10 foot high tomato plants too! love the orange roses! There are dozens of articles about this wonderful barn and all of the beautiful details of both the exterior and the inside...including the amazing kitchen and great room Most of her table arrangements are simple and I suspect she uses as much as she can from her gardens to fill in the centerpieces In the first of her two cookbooks there are a few photos of the early years of the garden just beginning to take shape. She definitely has a thing for hydrangea, doesn't everyone? Her food styling is always so pretty, especially the shots taken out of doors. I like the photo below with the old lichen covered fence and the grey shingle shed in the background She seems quite at home in the garden and I suspect she is a confident clipper and snipper but not so much of a digger and planter Are you a clipper and snipper or a digger and planter I'm a little of both! Hope you enjoyed the tour Happy Gardening Photos via House Beautiful, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, O Magazine Ina Garten cookbooks

Our sisters across the pond have some exciting events in February and March.

Виктор Низовцев is a Russian painter, a master of whimsical and narrative art. Subjects include fantasy landscapes, russian folklore, theatre, and mermaids. I've been on the hunt for Nizovtsev's mermaids for a while now, and in total I have found 9 of them on the internet. I know there are more. He does them so well, and with such care, I imagine his studio overrun with them.
