BEST FRIEND'S EAST HAMPTON LIVING ROOM

Blue and white living room in an East Hampton home

Best of friend AM’s East Hampton living room – decorating in progress.

One week ago, I was heading to the Hamptons with my best of friend AM, her hubby JE and their cute kiddies. What a fantastic weekend it was. Lunch at Pierre’s, dinner at The Palm and ice skating with kids and lots of oohing and aahing at all of decorating additions AM has made to her home.

Earlier this year, AM and JE bought their first house together in East Hampton. Their goal was to completely renovate and decorate an entire house by Memorial Day. AM hit her goal…by this summer she had her family moved in to a pretty weekend home that she decorated herself. I went in July and was so impressed…and then I came back just last week…and all of finishing touches going into place. I couldn’t help but snap a few pictures (these were all taken with my phone…I forgot my camera in Los Angeles!)

AM’s living room in New York City is pink…in this weekend home she decided her color is blue. The house is predominately a clean fresh bright white with blue accents every where. Her style is traditional modern with a bit of Chinoiserie thrown into the mix. She loves layering patterns and textures.

In this living room (or den)…AM started her decor with a wonderful Madeline Weinrib dhurrie rug, then added in two vintage chairs that she had recovered, a great ottoman with lucite legs from Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. You can’t see it in these photos but she has a porcelain elephant as a side table between the vintage chairs and a cute garden stool on one side of the sofa.

AM has picked out a fantastic white bamboo mirror for one of the walls and plans on making a gallery wall of black and white family photos above the sofa. Follow me on COCOCOZY Pinterest to check out the mirror she has picked out. There are built in shelves across from the living room seating area…she plans on covering the back wall of the book shelves with coordinating blue wall paper.

Love this house! They better watch out…they might find a permanent guest staying in their weekend home!
