Day 3: More Highlights from the Hampton Designer Showhouse with Serena and Lily fabrics

Why I love this fabulous guest room

Day 3 sneak peek at 

the Hampton Designers Showhouse 

in Watermill, Long Island

I popped in two days ago before the rain but in the midst of construction to check out the designer showhouse.  The showhouse is open now until Labor Day, and I would like to give you a glimpse of one of my favorite rooms at the house, 

Tammy Connor's guest bedroom.

crisp linens from Serena and Lily, 

a cute bedside table and a campaign style dresser 

this guest bedroom embodies an old world charm, reminding me of a stylish cabin in Maine perhaps or possibly a visit to a preppy family retreat in Nantucket.  

 Tammy Connor designed a quaint bedroom with an eclectic mix of furniture and fabrics.  To me, it is one of the most authentic rooms in the house.  I appreciate the smaller spaces in some of the bedrooms of this home, and Tammy created a cozy nook.  An extra bedroom with two twin size beds works very well for a weekend home to accommodate an overflow of guests.  I like it when designers consider the space planning and think hard about how the room will be used, not only the aesthetics when designing a showhouse space.  An important aspect to the Hampton's lifestyle is about entertaining in our home, and anyone who lives here knows once Memorial Day hits the calendar is quickly filled with out of town family and friends coming to visit. I like it that this room feels like you are on vacation.  The stacked reading books, interesting and quirky accessories and butterflies under glass suggest to slow down and "nest".

  The vintage-looking bureau, 
striped wallpaper and styled vignettes 
are creatively put together.  Hailing from Birmingham, Alabama, Tammy 
infuses a sense of casual southern charm into her space.  

Happy Nesting
