My dining room is very Provencal, with French fabrics and walls covered with Quimper pottery. There is a lot of chintz, since flowers are my passion. My rooms are sunny the colors are warm yellows, soft greens, pale pinks and blues. JG: My Hamptons home is bright and colorful, filled with objects collected on our travels. KDHamptons: How would you describe your Hamptons home, and decorating style? Last minute efforts cause too much stress! She should never experiment with a menu practice makes perfect. She should introduce everyone, making sure no one is left out. JG: A hostess should always remember that it’s not about her it’s about making her guests feel welcome. KDHamptons: Can you please share 3 entertaining tips a great hostess should always follow? JG: The best thing about my job, writing, is that I am my own boss. KDHamptons: You have authored two beautiful books: New York Apartments and New York Parties: Private Views, what is the greatest part about being a writer? What could be more fun than long walks, cozy fires, movies with no lines and terrific restaurants? I always relax the minute we arrive.

I love the quality of the light, the gorgeous sandy beach with great access, the pink sunsets, the farm lands and the special friends who live here. Jamee Gregory: I have been coming to the Hamptons since 1970. KDHamptons: How long have you been coming to the Hamptons? Why do you love it so much? Do you come out all year round?
