| East Hampton Summer Home
|
Ken Wyse's East Hampton summer home resembles a bespoke suit, but without the buttoned-up attitude. Impeccably constructed, elegantly tailored, and tweaked to display handsome lines, the Georgian-style house is dressed for summer and weekend living. Rooms wear fresh white paint like crisp linen. Shots of black accessorize like a bow tie or pocket square. |
