H OM E
How did you connect this interior with the Hamptons landscape? The exterior of the home is so gorgeous that we kept a great deal of the interiors visually calm. The color palette was a classic pale blue and sand, and was used to keep the dividing line between outdoors and indoors as invisible as possible. I loved seeing the house with all the French doors open — and the easy transition to the property. Did you have a favorite room in this particular house? This is easily one of my favorite projects, but I will always love the entry to the house. The simple space is just so amazing, and we had such a great time playing with proportion and color within the room. There was always great light because of the abundance of windows, but the addition of the giant mirror just bounced the light all around the room. Can you tell us a little bit about your new product line? I’ve always been such a fan of great textiles. Scotland was easily going to be the inspiration of our first collection. I was able to travel to there on several occasions and just submerged myself in the culture. I began to create textiles based on colors that I was seeing. I wanted to become the source for authentic highland tartans as well as creating custom designs to bring these traditional fabrics into the present. But most excitingly, I’ve been searching the world for amazing accessories for the home that we’re able to share on our website: everything from antique tartanware boxes to glorious decorative pillows! You seem to have harnessed the spirit of Scotland in some of your design work and products. How did that affinity come about? My family comes from Scotland — so it’s always been a natural fascination of mine! I began traveling to Scotland fairly regularly about 20 years ago, and find the most amazing inspiration every time that I’m there.
