DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR, the family of five runs its complex domestic operations— travel sports teams, homework tsunamis, a cacophony of music lessons—out of a large, classic co-op apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. The action never seems to slow down, much less stop. But once summer rolls around, everything grinds to a glorious halt. The whole show migrates to a gracious, sun-swept Dutch-roofed shingle home on the bay in perhaps the most discreet of all the Hamptons communities, Quogue. There, as sailboats drift lazily in the distance, the clan shifts into a blessedly lower gear with an uninterrupted mañana attitude: barefoot guests, frosty beverages, fresh fish on the grill. The homeowners each come from big, boisterous families—the husband, who works on Wall Street, is one of 11 kids—so while…

Somewhere along the line, it all started to fall apart. No, I’m not talking about a rocky relationship, a home-improvement project, or the best-laid vacation plans gone awry. It was simply my scheme to get a few plants into the ground. There were not-so-subtle warning signs: A late-season frost took out the basil; I never thought it was warm enough for the tomatoes; and everything seemed to vacillate between being overwatered and underwatered. I guess that’s what separates amateurs from green thumbs— although, armed with trowel and spade in hand, I know I can hold my own in any garden. Some seasons just aren’t as forgiving as others. At one point, I physically recoiled from roses that were hovering near $65 a bush at one nursery; thankfully, I found salvation…

CLASSICS REBORN Long a source for the fabric industry, the Warner Textile Archive has a collection that chronicles a rich trove of design history. Now, gems from its library are being reissued through Claremont, including (from left) a graphic pattern from the 1840s, a 1929 chintz, and a charming ’30s print. To the trade; claremontfurnishing.com.

the gardens at Redwine Plantation, the 1841 farm 30 minutes southwest of Atlanta where event designer Keith Robinson lives, stretch across 12 acres and contain a seemingly endless array of fragrant bowers that transform into romantic backdrops for Robinson’s lush art de vivre. “I purposely envisioned different staging areas for outdoor entertaining,” he says. He’s hosted friends and family under the glossy leaves of a magnolia tree, cooked paella in a shady pavilion, and, most recently, devised a brunch under a dramatic arbor of swooping Lady Banks roses. “We have the same guests over and over again, and I like to intrigue them and show off the garden, too.” Robinson readily pulls out indoor furniture for use in the open air, like a farm table made of wood salvaged from…

SOME HEIRLOOMS ARE EASIER TO LIVE WITH THAN OTHERS. Gold pocket watches and diamond brooches can be admired, then stashed in a box. But it takes grit, imagination, and flexibility to embrace a primitive ancestral cabin in the Canadian hinterlands and make it the core of one’s existence. Luckily, Colette van den Thillart has all these attributes in spades. In 1998, she inherited her Norwegian great-uncle’s one-room log cabin. The tiny home, built in the 1940s sans electricity, is in Minden, a pristine area of deep forests and clear lakes near Al gonquin Park that’s a two-and-a-half-hour drive northeast of Toronto. She rose to the occasion by converting the hut into a charming chic kitchen-then fashioning a six-bedroom house around it. “It was like surgery,” says her architect, Wayne Swadron.…

Apparatus “We’re expressing perfect geometric and mathematical ideas in imperfect materials,” saymathematical says Gabriel Hendifar. Along with Jeremy Anderson, Hendifar cofounded the Manhattan-based Apparatus design studio, which creates lighting and furniture that turn surprising materials into seductive shapes: pendants of stacked cylinders in smoky brass, tables made from massive slabs of marble. “It’s about this nexus between geometry and clean, modern forms, with materials that have life and a human vulnerability.” apparatusstudio.com. John Rosselli Antiquaire Rosselli has seen trends come and go, from the 1960s rage for majolica to the rise of chintz in the ’80s. A constant has been his devotion to eclecticism. “A room should have a sense of history,” he says. And not everything needs a provenance. Rosselli’s reproductions and original designs—Venetian-style mirrors, boneinlay tables in modern…

THOMAS HAMEL HAS DRAWN all the threads of his globe-trotting life together in the elegant apartment he shares with his partner, George Massar, in the heart of Sydney. Originally from Virginia, Hamel made his name as a decorator in New York, where he worked at Parish-Hadley during what he calls the “crazy ’80s.” There, he developed his design creed of pared-down glamour and sympathetic contrast—the yin of simple materials set against the yang of precious antiques. Hamel was lured to Sydney in the early 1990s, and his affection for his adopted home has continued unabated for a quarter of a century. “Moving to Australia was definitely an enormous leap of faith, but the experience has been incredible,” says Hamel in his gentle baritone. Since arriving abroad, Hamel has created one…

IT STARTS WITH OMINOUS DARK BROWN spots on otherwise healthy leaves. Then it works astonishingly quickly—in the right conditions, Cylindrocladium buxicola, the devastating fungal infection commonly known as boxwood blight, can strip shrubs bare in just a week. The infection itself will not kill the plant, but it makes the boxwood vulnerable to other diseases, and there is no cure for its insidious symptoms. The spore is also extremely contagious. Discovered in the United Kingdom in the 1990s, the fungus has spread as far away as New Zealand and, since 2011, has been sweeping across the States, from Alabama to Oregon. It’s a distressing time for the classic garden building block, beloved for its cha-meleonlike ability to take on virtually any shape or form. Boxwood is responsible for the iconic…
