THIS INSTALMENT OF At Home With features Westerly, Tory Burch's massive 1929 Georgian summer home in Southampton. Burch purchased the 15,000 square foot home in 2008, at the time of the financial crisis, when no one was buying much of anything. It has always been one of the largest homes in Southampton, and the fashion designer has spent the past nine or so years decorating it with interior designer and architect Daniel Romualdez. The seven acres of gardens were designed by landscape architect Perry Guillot.
WHILE WE LOVE our work here at TIG and wouldn’t trade what we do for anything, sometimes doing what you love can involve long hours, and at those times (especially on Friday or Saturday evenings) having a glass of wine or a cocktail after finishing up can make things feel a little more celebratory.

WE FEATURED Carolina Irving’s (second) Manhattan apartment that she shared with her then husband, Ian, back in February 2014. Published in Lonny that same year, it created a stir with its colours and textures, ruffled chintz slipcovers and romantic bohemian vibe.

It’s the weekend, and for those fortunate enough to have some time at home, it’s a favourite time for lounging about, perhaps for a little redecorating, and definitely browsing online home shopping sites. For this very reason, we’ve compiled a wonderful home shopping guide — this one, for the Sophisticated Romantics...
ONE OF THE VERY FAVOURITE childhood homes I grew up in had a powder room that was known as “the blue bathroom”, for its pale blue decor palette. But what I remember most about that room, was that it had double sinks that were each shaped like seashells.
In 1973, the architect discovered an old cement factory no longer in use in Sant Just Desvern, a town in Catalonia, Spain, just outside of Barcelona. The factory was dated from the first period of the industrialization of Catalonia, and as such, was not built at once or as a whole, but as a series of additions as the various chains of production became necessary.
