Hamptons Designer Showhouse 2012, Design ideas for your Home

Are you looking for design ideas for your home, look no further, you need to visit The Hamptons Designers Showhouse 2012 located in Watermill, NY. There were fabulous colors and textures, it was fantastic, you will get some ideas on how to design small to big spaces. I loved that many of the designers utilized local businesses here in the Hamptons.

There were 14 designers and each was assigned a room to design, some of those talented designers were Lillian August who designed the Great Room, The Lee W. Robinson Company who designed the Foyer, Mabley Handler Interior Design (Dining room), Old Town Crossing (Conservatory), Jennifer McConnell of Pearson Furniture (Great Suite), Robert Passal Interior & Architecture Design (Master BR), Tammy Connor Interior Design (BR 1), Katie Leede and Company (BR 2), Libby Interiors, Inc (Fun room), Audio command Systems Inc (Media room), Dyfari Interiors (Playroom), Lucille Khornak Photography (Lower level Hall), Jeff Lincoln Interiors, Inc (Rear deck) and Tara Seawright, Inc.

I absolutely loved this Modern Master Bath designed by Robert Passal Interior & Archetectural Design…I could definitely live in this room. I loved the shock of pink…the drapery and wall covering was so serene and soothing, the flooring by Stanton Carpet just completed the room. Staton also supplied the flooring in the Nusery, Back Porch, Lounge on the Lower Level. You can find Stanton flooring at The Carpetman in Southampton
www.photographybykurt.netI ran into a woman that I really admire and I love her work, she is ridiculously talented and she was given the lower level “Fun Room”…The way she transformed this room was pure craft and creative. I loved how she used several pieces from English Country Antiques located in Southampton and Bridgehampton, NY. I am talking of no other than Libby Langdon... Check out this room on the lower level….many of the home furnishings were from Libby Interiors, Inc and the upholstery from Libby Langdon Upholstery for Braxton Culler.
www.photographybykurt.netI liked the Master Bedroom designed by Robert Passal Interior & Architectural Design, I guess because it’s modern and I really loved the vibrancy and exuberant bright bold beautiful colors as they made the room come alive. I am certainly no expert on design but I do know what I like and this is the kind of furniture that I would like in my bedroom. To be honest, this room reminded me of a design that I had seen on an interior design website like Collov. I would love to recreate this style in my own bedroom. For example, I like the bed not being pushed against a wall, it gives the room character, and the green just pops and brings the room out. However those are my thoughts and my personal taste.

This was another one of my personal favorites…The Dining Room. I just love these colors..maybe it’s because they are the Tiffany colors…but nevertheless I think this room is just so charming and so warm. The lights were also something that really stood out to me here, they were so vibrant and definitely something that not only made this room, but would also brighten up your dining room, or anyones dining room too! It was all so amazing. I could feel the passion that Mabley Handler put into this room. Yes this would be on the top of my list of rooms I must have…

Greetings Hamptons MouthPiece Readers Home Invasions are on the Rise. Law enforcement has seen an increase in home invasions since 1995. According to F.B.I. reports every 12 seconds a home is invaded. More often than not the perpetrator enters by going right through the front or back door.

A home invasion is unlike a burglary. Burglaries usually take place during the day when no one is at home. The opposite is true for home invaders who typically strike at night or at a time when residents are home. Gun owners, prepare yourself for unwanted visitors in the night with glock 19 night sights reviewed here.
home-invasionFor home security solutions here are a few tips that may help you prevent a home invasion.
  • Install a solid core door, strong heavy duty locks, and window security devices. The services provided by someone like Locksmith Melbourne can assist you in this matter.
  • Keep all doors, windows, and garage doors locked. It may also be wise to ensure that all of these are strong enough to prevent forced entry from occuring. You might want to consider something like laminated glass if you want to prevent your home’s glass from being susceptible to home invasions. There is often a choice between laminated glass and tempered glass when it comes to security, so it’s worth checkong out the differences between the two before deciding which is best for you.
  • Install a peephole and use it before opening the door. Make sure a porch light is to help you see clearly.
  • Never open the door to strangers or solicitors; never rely on a chain latch on your door.
  • Keep lights on when your home, never make it obvious that you’re home alone.
  • Install motion detection lights around the outside of your home.
  • Keep bushes trimmed around your home.
  • Discuss home security procedures with your family. Hold a family meeting.
  • Always call police if you suspect or feel uneasy with a stranger at your door or in the neighborhood.
