There is this fantastic real-estate agent I was following,” says Lisa Perry, the fashion and interiors designer and art collector. The glass structure in East Hampton, New York, that the agent posted reminded her of the midcentury house of her childhood in Riverwoods, Illinois.
According to her broker, many buyers tear down vintage properties-and this one was in serious disrepair. But Perry, who has a weekend house in nearby North Haven, says she could tell that the bones were great.” And it seemed the perfect setting for a new project: a center for woman-identifying artists and designers (on ’na means “woman" in Japanese).

Is it possible to simultaneously go back in time and leap forward? This was the challenge a couple set for themselves upon purchasing a salmon-pink 1869 house in Cambridge, Massachusetts, not far from Longfellow House, the National Historic Site that served as George Washington's headquarters during the revolution.
