the Hamptons, Life & Design in the East End

Our Coverage of
Art and Design 
In The East End
As a born and raised Long Islander, I have lived most of my life in the East End. I often write about the design and gardens in my East Hampton cottage, and the day to day life here in the community. Since I am an interior designer and textile designer, I enjoy focusing my content and interests on the beauty in this corner of the world while often covering an incredible mix of talents who congregate here. Since 2010,I have written about the farms, the gardens, the art, the design and the lovely landscapes on Nest by Tamara with a unique bent towards the rich history that often goes back centuries. It is so much beyond the glitz and glamour that is often associated with the Hamptons. 

For several years I also wrote the East End Nest column at the local Hampton's magazine, Dan's Papers. Please see clippings and links below of some coverage. If you have an event or story idea that seems to fit in this niche, please reach out to me at TamaraStephenson1@gmail.com
