Thank you for our reviews!

The North Fork Real Estate Showcase is the best real estate publication in the area. Quality printing and paper coupled with great lifestyle and market coverage make it a fantastic tool for my buyers and sellers.

Tom McCloskey, Douglas Elliman Real Estate

Marketing each home requires a unique approach, one that is specific to the house, architecture and features. I can always rely on the marketing team at North Fork Real Estate Showcase to collaborate and create a venue to share the concepts and vision I am delivering that is professional, modern and relevant.

A digital campaign or featured print presentation is always meeting our expectations.

The best real estate print publication on the North Fork! And a fabulous web presence as well.

Mary Hovey, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty

Jerry Cibulski, Century 21 Albertson Realty

elcome to the Presidents’ Day issue of North Fork Real Estate Showcase. Featured on this month’s front cover, Sheri Winter of The Corcoran Group presents “Elegance on the Bay,” a renovated showpiece property on three waterfront acres in coveted Nassau Point. The lucky

buyer of this home will get to enjoy incredible sunrises and sunsets from the privacy of their very own beach. This is an exceptional property that’s not to be missed.

In this issue, Rachel Bosworth takes a closer look at Pantone’s 2019 color of the year – Living Coral.

East End interior designers are gearing up to use this exciting tropical color to help bring the beach indoors.

Pantone cited Living Coral as a color of carefree happiness. A press release says it “symbolizes our innate need for optimism and joyful pursuits.” Given today’s landscape — we couldn’t agree more!

DESIGN SHOWCASE

PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR

to something that feels less trendy and bold.”

Described as emitting the desired, familiar, and energizing aspects of color in nature, Living Coral is multi-faceted in what it represents. It is elusive, vivid, and mesmerizing. It was chosen for 2019 in reaction to technology and social media’s overwhelming influence in daily life in an effort to renew the longed-for human connection.

For interior designer James McAdam, Living Coral has always been color of the year. Adding a pop of coral makes a splash in North Fork décor, especially on the exterior. Think a coral-striped pool umbrella or piping on lounge chair cushions and pillows. It creates a bold yet elegant design and thought-provoking discussion.

“When every other boy in high school had a crush on someone named Jane or Mary, I had a crush on Coral,” McAdam quips. “It’s like living inside a conch shell. From a crushed velvet wing chair to grasscloth wallpaper you can’t help but smile when you see the color coral.”

While her personal style lends itself more towards neutral tones, Douglas Elliman licensed real estate salesperson and staging professional Sandra Wittich finds the color ideal for accessorizing a space. “I would use a real piece of coral in this color on top of a stack of neutral bound books on a coffee table or picture frames in this color on bookshelves,” she explains. “Incorporate pillows in this tone on a couch, bedroom or slipper chair to tie it into a room in a more subtle fashion.”

have created PawPaw, a pop-up restaurant operating out of the Bruce & Sons space on select Saturday evenings. The 8 to 10 course menu showcases Long Island’s finest foods. Menus typically include a tea course, as well as a coffee course and dessert.

And all of the courses reflect the bounty of Long Island, like the smoked celery root hushpuppy with horseradish and lovage, or the monkfish with nasturtium, Brussels sprouts, and pumpkin seeds.

Dates are announced for the restaurant a few months in advance and reservations are required.

The restaurant serves local wine pairings with their courses as well.
