Last summer, when we were in East Hampton for the annual ARF house tours, Sara took us to brunch (excruciatingly. slow. brunch) at the old Maidstone Arms. You may get cold eggs (so I suggest a cocktail instead), but it's worth stopping in to see the design re-vamp from Swedish hotelier Jenny Ljungberg. The whole hotel is a bright homage to Swedish design and Swedes. Molly and I were struck, in particular, by the Josef Frank textiles. I love the energy and color and composition! Wouldn't it be fun to have a throw pillow in one of his fabrics or even a chair, or wallpaper in a small powder room? One of the push and pulls of our relationship is I tend to like a lot more, er, calm, in my design palette than Molly, but call me a convert!
