Outdoor Luxe: Southampton Style
I was admiring the Tory Burch estate photos the way one admires overly fussy cuisine. I liked it. I appreciated it for all its complexity... but it just wasn't to my taste. Patterns... lots of them. Prints. Chintz. And more pedigreed pieces than most people will encounter in their time here on earth.
And then... I happened upon these photos of her pool house and the grandeur that is her outdoor living space. Consider me sold. I decided right then and there that if I had to take this property as-is I would do it just for the phenomenal poolside lifestyle.
Might I add... the property is stunning. Absolutely stunning... I would just need to start anew with the interior design to live there myself. But Tory... what a lovely retreat you've created for yourself. I applaud your incredible success and the incredible life you have created for yourself. And as for that pool house? I do hope you entertain their frequently... it's a magical addition to your home.
It looks absolutely stunning! To be surrounded by such beauty every day...

I could not agree with you more Franki. So many people have been posting about how gorgeous the interiors were... not so much. But this pool, and landscape, divine.

Hey Franki, so in agreement here, the interior really not my cup of tea, ah but the pool area, now that is something worth talking about, have a great weekend girl. J

You know, I am so glad I am not the only one who didn't care for the interiors! Whew! I can definitely appreciate her style and taste in furnishings, upholstery, and accessories, however I'll stick with her shoes, handbags, and a few basic items of clothing here and there! The pool area is simply amazing and wouldn't ever turn down an invite!
