An English-Inspired East Hampton Home by Jack Fhillips
I am a huge fan of Palm Beach-based Jack Fhillips Design, and I was thrilled when photographer Carmel Brantley of Brantley Photography introduced me to a Hamptons home Jack designed for his client Gloria Kirschner. Jack says…
“This property in East Hampton, NY on Georgica Road represents a uniquely different look for the Hamptons. It turns its back on the common look use of slipcovers and cuteness. In designing the property, a more timeless approach was considered in architectural detail and investment furnishings. The interiors always played into the large amount of the green landscape outside. By using the hues of the green landscape inside, the large house full of windows became connected to nature as one. Nothing jarred the eye.
By using a wonderful collection of 19th century continental furnishings, art and accessories the house was given a very unique and special look that feels like a very old family home. The gothic details throughout are picked up in a lot of the furnishings. I truly believe it is one of the most beautiful homes in the Hamptons, as its comforting warmth combined with its extreme privacy and low key elegance give a weekend guest the best of a sophisticated world.”

Such a beautiful home! Jack is a master when it comes to creating layers of divine detail, and I love the restrained green and white palette. In March, I featured a spectacular Palm Beach home he designed with a primarily blue and white palette… it was designed in six weeks, but looks like it was collected over a lifetime!

Carmel Brantley’s Instagram account is a must follow… she never fails to add a little sunshine to each day!

For me, this is one of the best houses you have featured. Thanks!
Spectacular! The difference between old money and new money is so apparent here. It has warmth and good breeding – something there has been too little of in recent years. It’s encouraging to think that it still exists.
Half way through I realized I w not looking at a movie set but real life. And not in England but here in US. I noted early on, too, that were were not surprised if modern painted or decor. The soft touches of cream , green and patterned fabric with the brown wood work. I want to redo my house ! Yes I loved this feature. I will be following Mr Phillips other works.
While not typically a fan of green in my decor I must tell you that this home is breathtaking in it’s warmth and beauty. I bookmarked this post. Loved the whole tour. This home has substance and grace not seen enough these days.
Finally, someone who does not do the same look you see everywhere else ! This is classic and the personality and taste of an individual who is secure in what they like, not copying the trend . Trends are so boring.

Exquisite! Perfection!
Perfection! The use of layers of color and detail are breathtaking, especially in the age of the gray monochromatic decor that’s is everywhere.
Thank you for putting this post together!

One of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen. I just wish he would come over to England and redesign my Victorian Rectory!!
Impeccable.
Classic, beautiful design Jack! I love what you have done in this house. It is traditional but fresh at the same time!
