Antique Heaven in a Hamptons Haven








Renowned antique dealers, Zoe Hoare (Appley Hoare Antiques) & Chris Mead (English Country Antiques) have created a beautiful home of this 1740's 'saltbox' cottage in the Hamptons, (built from the hulls of an old ship). With a fresh interior palette of white replacing the once dark & dingy space, & the proximity to the Ocean view, they have created a relaxed & charming haven full of their much loved antique finds & unique pieces. Every room is a story in itself with character & charm aplenty. I adore the gravel driveway, complete with the 1950s Schwinn 'Typhoon' Bicycles (discovered at a local antique fair) & my favourite of all, the divine hedge of white hydrangeas...just what I've planted in my front garden, I hope they look like this!
