There’s nothing like a Hamptons day to make a project move.

When I head out to Southampton, I bundle as much as possible—measurements, walkthroughs, deliveries, wallpaper progress, window treatments—so we can turn decisions into momentum.

Tucked away on the Upper East Side, 130 East 80th Street, known as the Astor House, serves as the headquarters for the New York Junior League (NYJL). This five-story townhouse with two sub-basements is more than just a meeting place—it’s where passionate women come together to drive meaningful change in the community. And like any well-loved home, it carries a rich history, one that deserves to be honored and elevated.
