With Designer Collaborations From Aerin Lauder to Alexa Hampton, the Shade Store is Bringing a-list Style to Window Treatments.
WHEN IT COMES TO FINDING BESPOKE window treatments for her high-end clientele, A-List decorator Alexa Hampton is turning to a surprisingly affordable and efficient source: The Shade Store. “To be able to order something and get it just 10 days later is unheard of in this industry,” says Hampton, who jokes that her grocery deliveries “take more time than that.” In fact, she’s such a fan that earlier this year she debuted her first collection of fabrics for the brand. Her whimsical designs, ranging from Greco-Roman to Wiener Werkstätte–esque patterns (in colors like Bonsai and Silver Spoon) join others by the likes of Nate Berkus and Aerin Lauder, who also recently launched collections for The Shade Store. It’s all part of the evolution of this family-owned firm based in Westchester County, New York.

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. We loved all the beautiful old details of this house, the homeowner says.
Just Like That, But Cheaper. -One writer tried to replicate a classic ELLE DECOR interior in his apartment. Could he do it for $500?
It was all about the green curtains. In 2008, to my great surprise, I was offered a ninemonth fellowship based in New York City. I had lived there twice before, both times unsuccessfully, meaning I had failed to create any kind of significant social life, and so this was a chance not only to do research for my new novel, but also an opportunity to get things right. I swore I wouldn't let the city break me a third time.
And How! - Decorator Nick Olsen transforms a Sag Harbor home into a Hamptons retreat with an irreverent humor.
If you must go to the Hamptons, however-because it is devilishly good fun, after all-you may notice an apparently modest, low-slung cottage on Sag Harbor's Main Street and think, with a comfortable sort of feeling, Now that is how a house should look.
