Last month, I had the great prIvILege of attending Outstanding in the Field, one of an interna tional series of nomadic dining experiences that could best be described as farm to table, with the extra spin being that the table is actually sited on the grounds of a working farm. In this case, the host property was Foster Farm in Sagaponack, one of the few remaining farms left on the South Fork of Long Island. Guests sipped spirits from the Foster-owned Sagaponack Farm Distillery while learning about tomatoes and potatoes from siblings Marilee and Dean Foster, who work the land under the guidance of their mother, Lee. They have been extremely thoughtful about maintain ing the integrity of the farm while adapting to change—their spirits, for example, are relatively new, the result of an effort to transform potato production from a loss leader to a profit center. During the event, a lot was said not only about buying local, but also living local. I love shopping farmstands and farmers markets, particularly because they are so convenient to my homes in Bridgehampton and Brooklyn. But I now have a new perspective on the meaning of fully embracing what’s close at hand. ■ After a tour of the farm, guests gathered at a long table on a portion of the property that’s also used as an airstrip for Dean Foster’s squash-yellow prop plane. The dinner, cooked by Jason Weiner of Almond restaurant, naturally consisted only of local ingredients and was paired with North Fork wines. Although the clouds overhead threatened rain, they held off, casting instead a luminous light that made everyone look fabulous. Or perhaps everyone was just really happy to be there.

Dozens of diners recently gathered among tractors and Dean Foster’s prop plane for Outstanding in the Field, a dinner held at Foster Farm in Sagaponack.
Like the rest of the worLd, i was the TV after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. When the news broke, my phone started ringing, and text after text arrived from acquaintances and friends with both condolences and comments on the beauty of my Scottish homeland, its countryside, villages, streets, buildings, and yes, castles! ■ The queen had six homes in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The one we hear about most is the grand 775-room Buckingham Palace, which she privately viewed as living above the shop. Two are in Scotland: the official residence at Holyrood palace in Edinburgh and Balmoral Castle, which had been passed down through the family from Queen Victoria. ■ Balmoral was the smallest, and her favorite. She grew up there. Happiest in a headscarf, tweeds, and Wellies, she walked her dogs, rode her horses, and enjoyed the outdoors, driving herself around its beautiful 50,000 acres. ■ No matter how many homes we might have, there is one where we feel most at peace. I am reminded of “Dulce Domum,” chapter five of British author Kenneth Grahame’s classic novel The Wind in the Willows, a story about a group of animal friends living along the banks of a river. “Sweet home” in Latin, the chapter ends when one of the characters, Mole, returns to his old home. “It was good to think he had this to come back to,” Grahame writes. “This place, which was all his own, these things which were so glad to see him again and could always be counted upon for the same simple welcome.” ■ Balmoral could always be counted on to give that same simple welcome to our Queen.

To Arianne de Kwiatkowski, whose Westhampton Beach abode is featured in this issue’s “Barn Raising” (page 96), the notion of home is simple: “love, festivities, family, and lots of color!” she says. A competitive show jumper, de Kwiatkowski often spends her free time with horses, having found the courage “to get back into it after multiple accidents. Connecting with an animal is very empowering and grounding. I love the adrenaline. It’s a part of me.”
After a long search, partners Louis Marra and AJ Lang found the ideal spot for their dream home in Mattituck (“Modern Romance,” page 78).
“I feel like Louis and I have lived in this house forever,” says Lang (far right), who oversees vendors at 1stdibs. Marra, the co-founder of home accessories retailer Maison 24, adds, “AJ and I couldn’t believe that all our vintage finds fit and worked together just as we had imagined. It speaks to how well the two of us fit together!”
“I have always been drawn to design and architecture, and photography is the way I communicate my response to it,” says photographer Hulya Kolabas, a native of Istanbul who has been living and working in New York for 17 years. While training her lens on the historic property featured in this issue’s “Barn Raising” (page 96), she “immediately fell in love with its character— it has wonderful rustic surfaces and warm tones.”

Arbor Day occurs during spring, but autumn is an ideal time to plant deciduous trees in your garden. These six species thrive in the Northeast and provide seasonal interest all year long. —Alejandro Saralegui
1. SWEETGUM (Liquidambar styraciflua)
Zones: 5–9; height: 60 to 80 feet A brilliant tree for fall foliage, the sweetgum’s star-shaped leaves turn red, orange, yellow, and purple, offering brilliant contrast to its spiky green seedpods.
‘Slender Silhouette’ is a striking, very narrow columnar variety.
2. YELLOWWOOD (Cladrastis kentukea)
Zones: 4–8; height: 30 to 50 feet
Popular in the southeastern U.S., the yellowwood is favored for its intensely fragrant, white wisterialike blossoms, which are at their best every two or three years. The common name comes from the tree’s natural dye, which turns the heartwood yellow.
3. DOGWOOD (Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Chief’)
Zones: 5–9; height: 15 to 30 feet
This variety of native dogwood has been bred to resist blight. Its rosered petals—technically bracts— surround a small cluster of greenish flowers in the center. In the late summer and fall, its shiny bright-red fruit attracts birds.
4. TULIP (Liriodendron tulipifera)
Zones: 4–9; height: 60 to 90 feet
Known for its exotic tulip-shaped flowers, this tall tree also boasts foliage that resembles a stylized tulip. Native Americans used the stick-straight, thick trunks to make dugout canoes.
5. RED OAK (Quercus rubra)
Zones: 4–8; height: 50 to 75 feet
This sturdy oak can live upwards of 500 years. It also hosts more than 900 varieties of caterpillars, which morph into moths and butterflies, important ecosystem pollinators.
(Acer saccharinum)
Zones: 3–9; height: 50 to 80 feet
On a windy day, the silvery undersides of this maple’s leaves are an unforgettable sight. Plant this beautiful specimen in a moist area in your garden, as it has brittle wood that can be easily damaged by rough weather.
• Want the healthiest oak tree possible? Have lots of patience? Plant an acorn!
• Trees aren’t messy if you put them in the right spot. In other words, it’s a good idea not to plant a tree that sheds lots of leaves and flowers right next to a swimming pool.
• Newly planted trees need to be watered well during their first year.
• Consider a tree’s bark color for winter interest, since most deciduous trees eventually shed all their leaves.
• When buying a new tree, bear in mind that small trees catch up to big trees quickly, as they have less transplant shock.
The atelier wall of Brooklynbased Laine + Alliage bears out the theory that mood boards are an integral part of the creative process. Every collection and commission has its genesis here, replete with “Milan in the ’70s” appliqués and curved dress-pattern shapes that eventu ally find their way into the company’s wallpapers, textiles, and pillows. They tell a story of movement and composi tion. “The color samples and fabric swatches are active,” says Laine + Alliage’s founder and designer, Tania Leipold. “They live with me and are a great way to stay on track with my vision.”
During high school, Leipold spent summers in France, learning “how to sew while apprenticing with my mentor, a master patternmaker for Dior.” After attending the Fashion Institute of Technology and a brief stint at Paco Rabanne in Paris, she decided to seek out a broader outlet than what her fashion studies had provided. “I was toying with the idea of what to do with fabric that was not fashion,” she recounts. “I found that playing with different materials and appliqués all on one surface was really exciting.” Inspired further by haute couture, vintage Dior and Yves Saint Laurent, and all things “Eurocentric,” she launched Laine + Alliage—French for “wool and alloy”—in 2017.
Her decoupage-like approach to making pillows, curtains, and upholstery begins with sketching shapes and meticulously calculating measurements. “With appliqués, the measurements have to be exact,” Leipold says, “but you’re also making art, so it’s not as rigid as making a dress. It’s like a puzzle.” After measuring the appliqué shapes onto felt, she carefully

Precision Quality (above middle, above right, and top left) The process begins with sketches, swatches, exacting calculations, and measuring appliqués on felt, to be cut out and used as patterns.

cuts them out and labels them for placement within the larger composition. Curved appliqués are created by cinching the fabric before sewing it, then pressing and trimming it on the inside to avoid overlap. Finished appliqués are then temporarily stitched to the larger piece with contrasting thread, which is removed later, once everything is in place. “A lot of the shapes we create in dance influence the composition,” says Leipold, who has practiced ballet and contemporary dance since she was a young girl. “It intuitively comes from the eye I have for how the body moves in space.”
She takes the same approach to Laine + Alliage’s wallpaper panels, making painted shapes on paper, then scanning them and sending them to printers who create large panels ranging from 27 to 33 inches wide. Rugs and a ceramic tabletop collection, Leipold says, are coming next. “I always knew the brand would continue to grow and evolve. It feels natural, sort of like a healthy obsession.” —Doug Young

If you ’ re lookIng to contrIbute your own chapter to the storied literary history of the Hamptons, John Steinbeck’s 1.8-acre waterfront spread in Sag Harbor is still up for grabs. After hitting the market in February 2021 for $17.9 million, the property has been reduced to $15.4 million, listed with Doreen Atkins of Sotheby’s International Realty. This spring, the Sag Harbor Partnership, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the community and its history, reportedly showed interest in buying and preserving the estate, which includes a two-bedroom residence from 1953, a guest cottage, a dock and pool, and the author’s “Writing House.” But as of press time, it’s fair game to anyone willing to sign on the dotted line.

THE INSIDE SCOOP ON REGIONAL REAL ESTATE
Peter’s Pad The Peter Matthiessen Center is trying to find a new home for the late writer’s studio and Zendo, which still sit on a property that his heirs sold for $8.5 million seven years ago.
This rarified 2.6-acre lot spans over 294 feet of private shoreline positioned perfectly on coveted Georgica Pond. This property offers an exceptionally long natural viewshed over the adjacent 10.5 acres of Peconic Land Trust protected land, with an additional 1100+ feet of shoreline along the pond. This generous lot can accommodate a 12,289-sf main house, accessory structure, pool & tennis offering Southern Atlantic Ocean views from pivotal points of the house. If desired, one could also build a main house & guest house, pool, and accessory structure, and tennis.
Lori Schiaffino Licensed RE Salesperson lori@compass.com M: 516.606.7090
This rarified 2.7-acre lot is also perfectly positioned on coveted Georgica Pond and spans over 300 feet of private shoreline. This parcel can accommodate a 12,639-sf main house, accessory structure, pool & tennis offering Southern Atlantic Ocean views from pivotal points of the house. Additionally, one could build a main house & guest house, pool, and accessory structure and still enjoy playing a game of tennis on these beautiful grounds.
The Steinbeck retreat isn’t the only Sag Harbor listing with an enticing story to tell. Occupying a rare .75 acres on Union Street, the 1790 captain’s house belonging to the late editor and publisher Jason Epstein is currently on the market for $7.995 million with Susan Penzner and Maria Markovic of Saunders & Associates. Epstein, who edited the likes of Gore Vidal and Norman Mailer while at Random House, bought the 3,000-squarefoot three-bedroom 65 years ago, and many of its original details remain intact, such as wide-plank pine floors and two woodburning fireplaces. Epstein’s widow, former New York
Times journalist Judith Miller, is selling the property, which also includes a gunite pool, a pool house, and verdant gardens. “On my first trip to Sag Harbor,” Miller recalls, “I met Jason at a dinner party here and fell in love with the man, the house, and the village. We both
loved reading by the kitchen fireplace during the winter and doing crossword puzzles on the terrace on summer mornings. Jason was an extraordinary chef, so our home was always filled with writers who came for brunch or candlelit dinners in the solarium.”
The memories are perhaps more bittersweet for the heirs of Peter Matthiessen, who sold the late writer’s Bridge Lane property in Sagaponack for $8.5 million in 2015, a year after his death. In addition to being an acclaimed nature writer, Matthiessen was a Zen priest and transformed a horse barn on his property into a Zendo for meditation. Now, with the support of the Peconic Land Trust and Preservation Long Island, the nonprofit Peter Matthiessen Center (the author’s son Alex Matthiessen is on the board) is looking to find a permanent space in the area to be used as a writers’ retreat. According to the organization’s project manager, Daniela Kronemeyer, the current owner has “indicated a willingness to donate Peter’s writing studio and Zendo to the center, and we hope to relocate them when we find a suitable spot. We’re currently looking at several properties in the Sagaponack historic district.”

Going from nursing to real estate might seem like an unlikely career shift, but according to Southamptonbased real estate agent Pat Petrillo, the two fields share quite a few similarities. A Brooklyn native, Petrillo grew up on Long Island and entered the nursing field in 1970, working in the emergency room at Kings County Hospital Center for seven years until she relocated to the Hamptons, where she took on a part-time gig at Southampton Hospital while raising her young children. “Even back then, real estate was a topic of discussion at every party, so [the switch] felt natural,” says Petrillo, who got her license in 1982 on the advice of a friend and has been with Sotheby’s International Realty since 1988. The long hours and work ethic required in a fast-paced ER have been essential to her success in her current career, she adds. “As a nurse, I had to be a good communicator and read people’s body language. This has served me well in real estate.”

Inflation? Recession? Rising mortgage interest rates? Despite financial volatility and political uncertainty, New York City real estate prices have shown few signs of letting up in recent months. Although contracts began to dwindle in the second quarter of 2022 over the same time last year, the median sale price of Manhattan condos reached a record high of $1.25 million, and the average sale price jumped 12.1 percent, to $2.15 million. “It has been especially tough for buyers looking in the $10 million to $20 million range,” says Compass’s Vickey Barron. “Many of them are people who left the city during the pandemic, became accustomed to larger houses with yards and garages, and are now having trouble finding something comparable upon their return.” Historically undervalued neighborhoods, such as NoMad and Murray Hill, she adds, have become more popular among young professionals, who appreciate the easy commute to Midtown offices.
A similar story is unfolding on the other side of the East River in Brooklyn, where “prices have increased across the board,” says Douglas Elliman Real Estate’s Lindsay Barton Barrett, who notes lack of supply as the trend’s key driver. By the end of the second quarter, appraisal firm Miller Samuel reported records for the seventh quarter in a row among the
borough’s condos and multi- and single-family brownstones, and the year-over-year average price of brownstones had jumped 15.6 percent, to $3.53 million. “Townhouses in Brooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill, and Park Slope are especially in demand,” adds Barton Barrett, who says that many of these properties are attracting first-time buyers who crave amenities like outdoor space and more square footage.
Rental rates have surged, too. According to Miller Samuel, the average Manhattan rental price broke the $5,000 threshold for the first time in June, and then crept to $5,113 in July. In Brooklyn, the average rental price jumped 16.8 percent, to $3,883, from July 2021 to July 2022. And a 70.4 percent drop in inventory and bidding wars in one out of four leases suggest that the market is likely to remain competitive in the months ahead.
To address the housing shortage, developers and political leaders are coming up with creative solutions. If legislative and real estate industry stars align, New York City’s pandemic-induced glut of vacant office buildings could be reincarnated as new housing. A 2021 study by the Real Estate Board of New York showed that converting just 10 percent of these buildings could yield as many as 14,000 residential units. In January, Governor Kathy Hochul proposed a five-year plan that includes legislation for more flexible zoning rules, which would make it easier to convert unused office buildings below 60th Street into residential properties. And Mayor Eric Adams is also on board, announcing in June his own promise “to ease conversions of underutilized commercial buildings into homes.” Some developers already have building conversions underway. Macklowe Properties is transforming a 51-story landmark Art Deco tower at One Wall Street into 566 luxury condos slated for completion by the end of this year. And Silverstein Properties and Metro Loft Management plan to convert a 30-story building at 55 Broad Street into 571 market-rate rentals ranging from studios to three-bedrooms. All promising signs of the city’s efforts to adapt to a new era. —Jean Nayar

Presiding over Southampton’s Main Street, the impressive 12-bedroom manse known locally as “Barney Green’s House” has hit the market for $24.99 million. Sporting a mansard roof in the Second Empire style, the residence was built in 1872 by retired whaling captain Barney Green as a 40-guest boarding house. The 1.25-acre property has had only a handful of owners in the past 150 years, and many original details remain intact: notably leaded-glass windows, coffered ceilings, millwork, mantels, verandas, and a porte cochere. Harald Grant of Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing. —Tom Edmonds

A home is most certainly a place where you can hang your hat, but it’s also so much more than that
The Goods Situated on the grounds of a former estate that once totaled 50 acres, Ivy Lodge has been freshly updated. The light fixture in the entryway is from Bevolo. See Resources.
Presented by HC&G, the 21st edition of the Hampton Designer Showhouse took place in Southampton’s historic Ivy Lodge, which dates from the mid-1800s and was beautifully transformed by 22 talented design firms, all to raise funds benefiting Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. Read on for more about how great design can benefit a good cause.
TEXT BY SHANNON ASSENZA | PHOTOGRAPHS BY TRIA GIOVAN Roset,Interior decorators Jennifer Mabley and Austin Handler’s second furniture collaboration with Kravet plays the starring role in the “serene and soft” living room, which also features a pair of velvet-upholstered 1950s Italian armchairs and a 1970s Murano glass chandelier from Venfield. “With its dramatic mountainous landscape in soft, ethereal colors,” adds Mabley, Fromental Lumière’s Rockface wall covering “was our launching point. Mural-style wallpapers have had a huge resurgence.” The large canvas is by Robert Dash.

“Sometimes the smallest spaces can be the most impactful,” interior designer Tiffany Eastman says about her breakfast room, which she “saturated with textures and softness.” Custom chairs from DF Furniture, covered in a Romo fabric, surround a Lumens table, all with a backdrop of a diamond-sketch wallpaper from York Wallcoverings and a custom banquette and acrylic artwork by Eastman.

Designer Chad James aimed to “tap back into what the house once was in the 1800s, with a nod to the era of grand estates.” Against a backdrop of a floral wall covering from the Vale London, furnishings include a French buffet and various antique pieces from James’s travels. “It’s an unusually special space that has tons of character,” the designer says.
For the study, Barbara Lewis of the Lewis Design Group chose a decorating scheme of soft greens layered with organic textures and natural motifs.
“I was instantly taken with the room’s view of the property’s beautiful trees,” Lewis says, “and was inspired to embrace a biophilic design, connecting the space to nature.” A floral Lee Jofa fabric on the windows and faux bois pattern from Nobilis on the walls helped her achieve her goal.

Interior designer Dee Ann Federico went for a “coastal modern” theme in the kitchen, “giving it a feeling of timelessness,” from the York wall covering to the Cosentino countertops and backsplash tile from the Tile Shop, all of which create a fitting stage for state-of-the-art appliances from JennAir. “We reimagined the cabinetry instead of throwing it out,” Federico says. “Whether it’s the 1800s or 2022, the kitchen is still the heart of the home. With older houses, you need to respect their character.”
“I live in Cold Spring Harbor, and my house was built from ship timbers,” says Laurie Duke, whose design for the den was inspired by an oil painting of a sailboat on the water. Accordingly, she chose beachy fabrics from Lee Jofa and Thibaut and a custom carpet from Stark, all of which give the space a breezy, seaside air.
The living room designed by fellow showhouse decorators Jennifer Mabley and Austin Handler inspired the look of the adjoining bar, which features a custom aluminum paint, counters from ABC Stone, Nanz hardware, vintage barstools from Wyeth, and SilverLining-designed cabinetry. “We sought to create a space that blends traditional Hamptons style with a modern flair and exciting finishes,” says designer Josh Wiener. Artisan Miriam Ellner’s verre églomisé backdrop, Hoku Waves in Silvers and Blues, was installed by Westhampton Architectural Glass.
Lit by fixtures from Vaughan, the secondfloor gallery features a variety of canvases by artist Leila Pinto, which are also seen elsewhere throughout the house. Ocean-inspired works from her “Hamptons” and “Climate Change” series predominate, as Pinto is “particularly drawn to the tranquility of the ocean and the vastness of the open sea. Since this is an older house, some of my brighter works infuse warmth and energy into the space.”
Inspired by minimally accessorized mid-20th-century spaces, interior designer Robert Brown went for “refined living” in the dining room, choosing Rozelle tables and Mykonos chairs from Harbour Outdoor, dinnerware from West Elm, and a hand-sewn area rug from Rush House. Draperies from the Shade Store establish and emphasize the blush-toned palette, ranging from pink to apricot to copper. “There are so many colors associated with the coast,” Brown says, “and we wanted to do something less predictable.”

With a goal of keeping this ample, gracious space “very soft and pretty,” decorator Barbara Ostrom employed sumptuous curtains from Baum Draperies and a wall covering and trim from Thibaut, along with an array of accessories and furnishings from English Country Home and Christopher Guy. “It’s the primary bedroom, so I wanted it to be romantic and sexy,” Ostrom says.

In the hall bath on the house’s second floor (above), interior designer Courtney Sempliner envisioned a “playful family bathroom that’s exuberant and fun and not taken too seriously.” Accordingly, a tiger-print wall covering from York plays foil to a streamlined vanity from Kohler. As for the firstfloor powder room (left), Sempliner adds, “We went for something a bit moodier and more glamorous: We fell in love with the Missoni wallpaper first, then everything else fell into place.” The sconces and mirror are by Vaughan, and the hand towels in both spaces are from Weezie.

Inspired by “old-world charm and the grandeur of time gone by,” interior designer Shaunali Nanda of Sloane Luxury Interiors with Sloane by Hand customstitched the pelmets, blinds, and cushions in the bedroom and accessorized both this space and the adjoining bath with pieces by artisans from Kashmir, New Delhi, and Rajasthan.

Shannon Willey of Sea Green Designs went for a surfer-girl theme in this bedroom. Hand-painted chambray walls by Chandler Decorative Arts “really make the space special,” she says, “and help give it a relaxed, sun-bleached vibe,” as do a pouf and circular jute rug from Jaipur Living. Willey also highlighted “the unique built-in bunk beds” with linen coverlets from TL at Home.
Featuring a wall covering from York and Kohler fixtures, Keith Baltimore’s primary bath has its roots in the “glamorous Hamptons lifestyle,” says the designer, who incorporated “an eclectic mix of old and new, with both traditional and modern aspects as well as Asian influences.” The blend of designs creates a harmonious result. “I’ve done lots of showhouses during my career and am kind of like a house whisperer: The house speaks to me and tells me what to do.”
Inspired by the late Lee Radziwill’s estate in Buckinghamshire, Kim Tomasino upholstered the ceiling and walls in pink Vimini fabric from Casa Branca, creating a fitting backdrop for a charming Victorian wicker chair from Chairish, a whimsical floor lamp from Marjorie and Marjorie, and a dazzling ceiling fixture from Vaughan. “The attic-level room has exposed wood and reminds me of a charming Hamptons treehouse,” Tomasino says.
“Hamptons meets French countryside” was the catchphrase driving interior designer Lori Miller’s plan for the brick terrace, replete with furnishings from Ligne Roset and lighting from Bevolo. “The minimalistic setup is cozy and inviting,” Miller says. “We wanted people to feel like they’re sitting on a terrace in the South of France.” Floral arrangements and potted plants are by Andrew Martone Landscape Design, and Hamptons View Landscaping planted the garden.
The covered terrace is “made for viewing the property and connecting with the outdoors,” says designer Marcelo Fernandez, who furnished the space with an Eos sofa, Hay lamps, a Design Within Reach rug, and various pieces from Richard Schultz’s iconic 1966 Collection for Knoll. Fortunately, he adds, “DWR offers one-stop shopping for the best modern furniture, as well as distinctive rugs, lighting, accessories, and art.” Rounding out the scheme are a pair of Carl Hansen & Søn Cuba chairs, a blue Magis chair by Thomas Heatherwick, and pillows from Maharam.
SUNROOM
“Fashion meets a flower painting” is how decorator Elsa Soyars describes her sunroom, inspired by the work of Southampton-based artist Jeff Muhs, whose canvases line the walls.
A flirty sofa from Ram Design Home and a custom bench create a “light, playful, and textural environment.”

The natural light in this top-floor bedroom “gives it a very ethereal feel, like a private escape from the rest of the home,” says designer Donna Benedetto. “Work, life, balance,” her Zen-inspired decorating mantra, is achieved with a serene palette and minimal furnishings including a vintage Halabala armchair and custom plaster coffee tables from Behind the Hedges, a sofa upholstered in a Designers Guild bouclé, a cushion covered in a striped linen from Osborne & Little, and a shimmery window treatment from the Shade Store.
Overlooking the mature grounds, the pool surround features two distinct seating areas—one for lounging and one for alfresco dining. See Resources.
Made from powder-coated metal, all furnishings on the pool surround are from Los Angeles–based designer Ann Marie Vering’s Oscar line for Brown Jordan. “The entire collection was inspired by hanging baskets I came across at a floral market,” Vering says. “It has a romanticized feel.”

Ode To Black And White Homeowner Wayne Mahler’s cat, King Henry, is in his element in the kitchen, which features black lacquered Ikea cabinets, gingham check, American sand paintings, a 1950s Danish iron armchair, and a Jacobean Revival chair. See Resources.
With his heavenly white mane, Wayne Mahler’s 12-year-old Turkish Van cat, King Henry, is impossibly regal as he greets guests to his owner’s home in Sag Harbor Village. But visitors soon realize that it is Mahler who has had the nine lives. His rowhouse, originally built in 1895 for employees of the former Bulova Watchcase Factory, is a small repository for a life well-lived.
When Mahler purchased the petite two-bedroom home in 1989, it already
had quite a history of its own, surviving a fire in the 1920s and serving as a destination for bootleggers during Prohibition, then later becoming a parlor for a set of clairvoyants named Slum. “It has taken more than 30 years to pull it together,” Mahler recounts, adding that “all the doors and bull’s-eye moldings had been stripped. I found them in the basement, covered in sand.” Working with a local carpenter, he set out to bring the place back to its original glory. “I didn’t want to modernize it. I just wanted to give it dignity again.”
Today, the house is a treasure trove of ephemera from Mahler’s past lives.
Collector’s Quarters (this page and opposite bottom) In the sitting room, a silver-gilt Vienna Secession chandelier hangs above a 19thcentury folk-art table, a 1950s Sheridan daybed, and a pair of 19th-century Swedish mirrors.

(opposite top left and right) Furnishings in Mahler’s bedroom include a Southern plantation chest, a tramp art Popsicle-stick lamp, and a 1930s American quilt. See Resources.
He once worked as a color coordinator for Pierre Deux fabrics, a skill imme diately evident in all the rooms. Blue and white saturate the sitting and living rooms, from an 18th-century Venetian chest and 1860s daybed to handquilted Marseilles coverlets, an Irish bench, rag rugs from Sage Street Antiques, and a photo of his parents on their wedding day. Local artist Garrett Chingery helped hand-paint the furniture and even some of the artwork.
Mahler’s most recent project, the kitchen renovation, is a study in black and white, with black lacquered Ikea cabinets, 1840s transferware plates, a Jacobean Revival chair, and a Victorian mourning picture. The kitchen opens onto a petite secret garden and black-walled alfresco dining area in the back.
Family and fashion have always come first for Mahler, who keeps a vin tage copy of Vogue to remind him of his beloved Aunt Erica, who gave him his first subscription to the magazine at age 11. Along with his mother and grandmother, Mahler spent lots of time in his aunt’s dress shop and remem bers her saying, “You always have to be the best-dressed person in the world because clothing is your armor. It will protect you from anything.”
In the 1960s, Mahler began modeling for the agent Paul Wagner. “‘I don’t want to be a model—I’m very shy and self-conscious,’” Mahler recalls telling Wagner. “I was this naive kid from Yaphank, and the next thing I knew, he was sending me to Arthur Elgort for photo shoots.” One of his first book ings—for a Buick commercial—provided the down payment for his Sag Harbor retreat.
Seating pieces in the library include a 1950s French porter’s chair upholstered in a Scalamandré check
and a Victorian slipper chair covered with quilt fragments. A 17th-century British map leans against an 1860s walnut table. See Resources.
The petite gravel garden, maintained by Pat Kepic of Girl and Garden, includes a wisteria-draped dining nook. See Resources.
After his stint in front of the camera, Mahler turned to fashion design and opened a Manhattan shop, FDR Drive, specializing in vintage textiles and clothing and “boiling things in the kitchen all night.” His “reinvented” Edwardian clothing line caught the attention of fashion buyers, in addition to the costume designer working on the film Out of Africa. Other cinematic assignments followed, from Cocktail to Tucker to Married to the Mob.
His specialized approach to fashion—clients ranged from Uma Thurman to Juliette Binoche—eventually attracted the discerning eye of Linda Dresner, who asked him to join her high-end boutique on Park Avenue. “We had the most beautiful clothing in New York,” says Mahler, who was ready for a shift. “It was very artistic and not commercial. Linda cared about mak ing beauty, not money, and that has been my leitmotif.” (A hefty commis sion from the sales on a particularly popular blouse, he says, did pay for his kitchen renovation.)
Ironically, Mahler’s house lacks closet space, but the fashion connoisseur
has devised his own stylish storage solutions. “My laundry is all out in bas kets and color coordinated,” he says, adding with a laugh, “it’s deeply compul sive.” From layering fabrics and textures to objets d’art and pieces of his family history, he adds, “It’s about nostalgia. I am fiercely sentimental.” Childhood toys and books, dating from the 1930s and belonging to his father’s two sis ters, fill the cabinets in his bedroom. And the study’s shelves are crammed with books and notes and memorabilia detailing special moments, from his friendship with Gloria Vanderbilt to time spent in Paris.
Fittingly enough, Mahler’s most recent undertaking has been collaborating on and guest-curating the exhibit “Fabulous Fashion,” on view at the New York Society Library through early next year. For a man smitten with fash ion and beauty, the opportunity to sort through the museum’s archives was transformative. “I’ve had so many different professions,” he says, “but I only did whatever I loved, which is fabulous. Beauty is a type of spirituality. It is essential to the soul.”

A new home in Mattituck mixes a lot of ingenuity with a dash of Palm Springs

Back in 2017, when Louis Marra, co-founder of the stylish home accessories retailer Maison 24, and his partner, AJ Lang, who oversees vendors at 1stdibs, decided to build a home from scratch, friends advised against it. Building comes with a lot of headaches, they said, but what Marra and Lang wanted just could not be found on the market.
Dedicated modernists, they had their hearts set on something mid-20thcentury modern, which is in limited supply where they wanted to live on Long Island. But during his daily bike rides, Marra had noticed a mid-20thcentury-style house going up, so he took Lang to see it. As it happens, there
was a contractor’s sign on the front lawn. Marra called the number of local builder Dan Loos, who offered to put the house hunters in touch with the home’s owner and architect, David Gresham. The men met and hit it off. Marra and Lang decided to build instead of buy, with Gresham as architect and Loos as builder. “It was a collaborative effort between us and them,” says Marra. “We can’t imagine having done this project with anyone else.”
But where would they build their dream house? “I had lived in East Hampton for years,” says Marra, “and that’s what I was thinking.” Lang, however, grew up on Long Island’s North Shore, so off they went to explore.
A rare photograph of Rock Hudson and Doris Day hangs above an Adrian Pearsall sectional in the living room, which also includes a pair

“We found a piece of land in Mattituck a block from the water,” recounts Lang, “and knew it was perfect the minute we saw it. The North Fork is a chill place to live. We’re surrounded by vineyards, and the town is incredibly friendly.”
The couple broke ground on their 1,600-square-foot three-bedroom in November 2018. It features lots of glass and two types of structural conceits: Whitewashed brick walls run roughly north to south, in contrast to perpendicular walls of cedar. “The idea was for the house to look like it had been there since the 1960s or ’70s,” Marra says.
Skilled shoppers, the couple started stocking up on furnishings from their favorite period. “We were actually shopping before we broke ground,” Lang says with a laugh. “We bought things sight unseen from all over the country and had them shipped to a storage unit. We didn’t even see some of them until the day we moved in.”
“We tend to spend a lot of our vacation time at FedEx,” Marra adds.
Given the men’s expertise, finding desirable furnishings didn’t pose much of a challenge. Many pieces are vintage, and most come with serious design pedigree, from a Florence Knoll credenza and George Nelson Marshmallow

sofa to 1970s pieces from Lane. Mixed among vintage Platner and Fornasetti are current-production furnishings by Le Corbusier, Breuer, and Saarinen, as well as readily available items from RH, West Elm, and CB2. Unsurprisingly, a lot of the decor comes from Maison 24 and 1stdibs.
“I saw a vintage Adrian Pearsall sofa with attached end tables that I wanted for the living room,” Marra recounts of one shopping episode, “but AJ wouldn’t let me buy it—he said it was too soon to commit. And when it wasn’t too soon, we came across an even better Pearsall, with a built-in table and two attached planters.” While on a trip to Palm Springs, Lang adds, “we
shipped a huge lamp in a box the size of a refrigerator. People at our hotel thought we were stealing the furniture.”
Originally conceived as a weekend getaway, the house is the couple’s only residence at the moment and just might stay that way. Maison 24 now focuses on e-commerce, so Marra has moved its inventory close to his new neighborhood, and Lang has been able to work remotely since the COVID19 shutdown. “After spending so much time in the new house,” says Marra, “we made a decision to try it full-time. Now it would be really hard to convince either one of us to go back to being here only on weekends.”
From the start, they had their hearts set on something modern. “The idea was for the house to look like it had been there since the 1960s or ’70s”

HC&G/NYC&G: What was the design directive for this project?
BELLA MANCINI: This is the third project we did for my client, who had moved downtown after living uptown for a long time. She loves the detailing in prewar buildings, so we worked with her architect to come up with a design that bridges the gap between very distinct styles.
There’s a lot of pattern and color. How did you come up with your color scheme? Our client is a pure color lover and not afraid to use it—she doesn’t like anything that’s too quiet. That’s music to any designer’s ears! She especially loves pink and purple, but you have to be careful using those colors. The jewel-toned palette that resulted is sophisticated, but fun.
Even though the wallpaper in the entry is subtler in color, it still makes quite a statement. Tell me more about that choice. I was trying to create a beautiful passageway from the vestibule into the living room, and wallpaper seemed
like the ideal way to make the connection. We also used a pale-pink paint-finish lacquer on the ceiling, which gives the space a “jewel box” feeling when you walk through, almost like it’s a different room in the house, rather than a pass-through area.
In virtually every room, artwork is clearly important to this project.
Some pieces already belonged to our client, and some were sourced and purchased for our client separately. The pieces in the living and dining rooms are color forward, but also quite serene. Our
client just happens to love Madonna and loves to dance, hence the fun piece in the guest room.
When you’re working with color, what tricks do you employ? How much color is too much?
I’m not a maximalist and I don’t do lots of pattern over pattern, although I like to play with scale a lot. Our work is restrained in some ways, and we typically stick to a tight palette. There should be a thread running through each room. In the living room, for example, there are some purples on both
sofas and some greens in the rugs and draperies, but it’s not a color explosion. The continuity is there.
How about the dining room, where a minimalist table somewhat surprisingly comes off as warm and inviting?
The client fell in love with the table early on, and we went with vintage lighting as an accent. We have a real affinity in our office for vintage lighting. I’d describe the space as “feminine vintage”—a little sparkly and a little fancy, but also loaded with texture and materiality. ✹

Arianne de Kwiatkowski has lived in some of the most beautiful houses in the world, but it was an 1800s barn in Westhampton Beach that stole her heart. Part of a working farm and later a gentlemen’s club, today it is a beloved home where de Kwiatkowski and her family spend their quality time and feel most connected.
In 2010, while she was considering buying another, grander residence nearby, an inspector mentioned the barn, saying it was a diamond in the rough that she should take a look at. “I saw it and thought, How cool,” says de Kwiatkowski, who had grown up in Quiogue and lived everywhere from Switzerland to Lexington, Kentucky, and Los Angeles. “I wanted to return home. The barn had wallto-wall carpeting and the air of beer parties with a bunch of college students. I thought it would be a fun, creative project for me and my kids.”
De Kwiatkowski doesn’t shy away from DIY, and the renovation process was literally hands-on. “I paint and caulk,” she reports. “We do everything on our own, which is really about the energy of this place. It’s my Hamptons chic—even though my nails are a wreck!” Traditional host ess gifts are typically a bottle of wine or flowers, but guests of de Kwiatkowski’s bring an antique door or help paint a mural. Despite the considerable repairs on the place, de
Kwiatkowski stopped at moving or lifting and turning the structure. “Barns are built the way they are in order to take advantage of the breeze, and the cupolas circulate the air.”
Some changes were indisputably necessary—de Kwiatkowski had to kick out a family of raccoons and update the kitchen—whereas others played up the fun fac tor, such as turning one room into a squash court and cre ating a climbing wall. In the soaring upstairs level, she has kept a row of cedar-clad bedrooms lining one wall opposite three matching bathrooms, which had been added in the 1950s when the structure was a gentlemen’s club. The grand plan for the main living space below: Paint it all white and fill it with an eclectic mix of family objects. “Everything here is about art and the furniture, including pieces from

my parents’ homes,” she says. “It’s always changing and a constant work in progress.
“We’re all kind of artists in our own way,” she con tinues. Work by her daughter, designer and artist Anya Molyviatis, adorns the entry and dining wall; her sister Lulu de Kwiatkowski’s bedding, designed for Lulu DK for Matouk, adorns the beds; her son repaired a beat-up pool table and helped make a new backgammon set; and her own tailoring skills are often put to the test in a sewing studio upstairs.
An equestrian theme ties everything together, from old
carriage stall doors to mementos culled from her family’s illustrious history. De Kwiatkowski’s father, Henryk de Kwiatkowski, was a celebrated aircraft broker who played polo and owned racehorses. Photos of his Belmont Stakes winners Danzig Connection and Conquistador Cielo hang on the wall, and his daughter has repurposed saddle pads throughout the barn as a sort of tribute. “I have an eye for finding another use for things,” comments de Kwiatkowski, who has ridden horses since her youth and still showjumps today. “I hate throwing things away—at least things

that have a history. I’m not hanging on to the past. I’m celebrating beauty.”
Other historic grace notes come courtesy of the legend ary Calumet Farms in Lexington, Kentucky, which the de Kwiatkowski family once owned. These include pieces by their decorator, Sister Parish, such as a chest of drawers and notably a large area rug now adorning the upper level. If only rugs could talk. “A previous owner, Mrs. [Lucille] Markey, was the mistress of Calumet for 50 years and put Lexington on the social map—it was so beautiful and glamorous,” de Kwiatkowski muses. “Elizabeth Arden and Aly Kahn were there, and they all said, ‘Aly, darling,’
hence the name for their last great horse, Alydar.” After de Kwiatkowski’s family had sold Calumet, she returned for what became known as the “great eagle heist” to rescue a cast-iron eagle from a neglected building. Its regal wingspan now looms from a beam above the living room.
A former chicken coop on the other side of the pool has been winterized for year-round living, incorporating some reclaimed wood from the barn, but it’s the latter where de Kwiatkowski’s spirit is at its most active. “I feel like I am nursing this lovely place back to life,” she says. “The space is so grand and alive when my children and nieces and neph ews visit, filling it up with joy and laughter.” ✹

(opposite clockwise from top left) A Lulu DK collage hangs in a guest bath. Artwork by Stephan de Kwiatkowski (top) and Conrad de Kwiatkowski brighten a guest room. Roller Rabbit linens enliven daughter Anya’s bedroom; the bedframe is from Lulu DK. Seashells adorn a piece by Andrea Simms in a powder room. See Resources.
2 large or 3 small delicata squash (about 2 lbs. total)
1 T olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 links sweet Italian sausage (pork or turkey), about 8 oz. total
1 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
1 T fresh rosemary leaves, finely chopped ½ 5-oz. package baby kale (or 2 to 3 c. chopped kale)
12 sundried tomatoes (about 2/3 c.), slivered
1½ c. cooked freekeh, bulgur, quinoa, farro, or brown rice
Pinch red pepper flakes
4 oz. soft goat cheese, crumbled ¼ c. grated Parmesan cheese
Heat oven to 375˚F. Carefully cut each squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Place cut side down on a sheet pan and bake for about 30 minutes, until the tops of the squash halves yield slightly when pressed but aren’t completely soft. Remove from the oven and let cool as is (upside down) for 5 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove sausage from casings and place in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring for 8 to 10 minutes, until mostly brown. Add the onion and rosemary, season lightly with salt and pepper, and cook until the onion softens, about 8 to 10 minutes more.
Add the kale and tomatoes and ¼ cup water. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until kale is wilted. Add cooked grains and red pepper flakes, then gently fold in the goat cheese.
Turn the squash halves over and divide the sausage mixture evenly among them, packing it in and piling it up. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top, return to the oven, and bake for 20 minutes until hot throughout. Serves 4 to 6. —Susan Spungen
Thanks to its oblong shape, delicata squash makes a perfect vehicle for stuffing. It has a tender, completely edible skin and cooks faster than most other winter squashes (which technically pop up in early fall). For a vegetarian version of the recipe, omit the sausage and cook the onion in a few teaspoons of olive oil.
