FASHION FORWARD: IN VOGUE WITH DESIGNER TORY BURCH AND HER SOUTHAMPTON ESTATE!

Main hallway with black and white checkered marble floor and a view into the wood paneled library

I'm fascinated with the brand that fashion designer Tory Burch has built...I am now equally fascinated with her rather regal Southampton estate!

Was browsing around Vogue's website and noticed they had a bit about Tory's stunning home in the Hamptons.  Very traditional but a place I could certainly all home!

With the help of architect and designer Daniel Romualdez, and decorator Eve Hood, Tory created a grand home that also looks extremely comfortable and accessible.

I read this New York Magazine article on Tory Burch and her ex-husband Chris Burch this weekend while driving out to my parents' house with my sis DS.  What was most interesting about the article was reading about how Tory's company got started and has grown.  She had a vision and made it happen. Just a few years after starting her company, Tory Burch the brand is valued in the billions.  Wow.

So let's see...Tory is fashionable, has a fantastic country house, and has built an amazing business...not to mention she's a mom of 3!  My design crush and friend of COCOCOZY Jonathan Adler might have to inch over a bit and make some room for Tory Burch on my design icon bench!

Anyhooo...here's Tory's little country house...

Needlepoint Louis XVI chairs, an antique crystal chandelier and coral colored drapes make for a very pleasant traditional living room. (above)

Not sure where to start here with what I like...I like so much!  I love the outdoor dining room and I love that printed wallpaper in the formal dining room to name a few!  Lovely home!  What do you think? Do you like this home?  Is it too formal or just right for you (I imagine myself living in a castle one day, so no home is too formal for me)? What do you think of Tory Burch's style at home?

Happy Wednesday!

  3. The dining room is so classical and original, just like Tory. The thought and skill that it took to do this project is something to be admired.

  4. I love Tory Burch... but those first two pictures are sooo cluttered. Did the photo stylists have to cram every cool piece she had into the shot? With that much pattern and texture, less accessories would have been more.

  8. It could not be lovelier. Refreshing to see beautiful fabrics and treasured and collected objects. After seeing the 1000th house in all white covered furniture and an absence of pretty objects, it looks new again to see this home. While I know it wont be to everyone's taste who prefers spare interiors, those of us who love handsome fabrics will revel in it. Thanks for sharing.

  13. Its very lovely. Beautiful and elegant, but to me its a little too 'old' for her. I was expecting a slightly more fun and eclectic interior from Tory

  18. I would agree, Needlepoint Louis XVI chairs, an antique crystal chandelier and coral colored drapes makes me feel living in a traditional room.
