Serena & Lily brings a brand new full-service design center in the heart of the Hamptons!


Beach Market
332 Montauk Highway 
Wainscott, Long Island 

Summer 2013 
in the Hamptons 
promises design inspiration

 
Check out 
Serena & Lily's shop
Just in time for a busy, Hampton summer.
The mail order catalog company 
is offering East End residents more options to decorate their beach houses.  

Ooh...there is something for everyone's needs -- 
dorm decorating, kiddie rooms, upholstery, outdoor furniture, tabletop and women's accessories.
 set in a gorgeous well-lit space right on Route 27 in Wainscott, this former antique shop sparkles with a fresh new perspective complete with tricked out garage doors that recede to give an outdoor feeling to the shop, and a back yard filled with outdoor furniture

 from sarongs, totes & beach shoes to lighting, 
furniture and fabric/wallpaper by the yard, 
the new shop fills all your summer needs with a full design center to boot.  
 the colors are bright, yet sophisticated and the shop offers 
many different patterns and textures 

step in the back and there are hammocks, hanging rattan seating and colorful outdoor furniture 
KIDSHOP
 is the adorable kiddie design center set in the back area in a cozy cottage, 
and showcases a full line of brightly colored and happy fabrics and products for baby and kid bedrooms


 these hanging baskets have many possible uses -- 
maybe beach towels or as a  dorm toiletry caddy.  
 the bedding deserves a full story, 
and we whiled away an afternoon looking at many guest bedroom options.  
I will certainly be back to cover this again here on Nest!





 bring your interior designer to the shop too because Serena & Lily has implemented a new designer program, 
offered in their expansive studio space the fabrics and wallpapers sold by the yard.  They provide designer discounts and even have swatch samples on hand.


  the sheets and bedding are varied -- 
look for more on the fabulous bedding in my 
Dorm Decorating Series 
coming in August 


 even dog beds are finished off in their punchy fabrics 


 The East End welcomes Serena & Lily with open arms. 
Summer 2013 is looking bright and sunny!
Happy Nesting XO
