The Best of Hamptons Cottages and Gardens edited by Newell Turner and Lockhart Steele
Hamptons Havens offers readers a glimpse behind the hedgerows of the Hamptons on Long Island, New York.
The photographs are drawn from the archives of Hamptons Cottages and Gardens magazine and feature 24 homes and gardens that vary greatly in architecture and interior design.
Every home in Hamptons Havens, from cozy cottage to grand estate, is a testament to the enormous breadth and natural beauty of the seaside region.
Accompanying the spectacular photographs are engrossing stories, discussing the architecture, the fascinating provenance of the furniture and heirlooms that decorate the homes, and personal family lore.
There are plenty of firsthand quotes from the homeowners and decorators, who lovingly recount how they initially discovered the area and who discuss the story of how their style and personal lives evolved over the years to create homes and gardens ranging from the traditional and classic to the whimsical and eclectic.
Hamptons Havens captures the essence of one of the most fabled and exclusive areas in the United States.
