Brooke Shields Long Island Home

I’ve admired Brooke for years and was so excited to see her interior design style in the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens. She purchased this Long Island home with her husband and decorated it 100% herself. Take a look…

I love the colorful yet casual approach in the living room. “A little color goes a long way,” is Brooke Shields’s decorating philosophy. In her living room, she covered floral chintz chairs inherited from her mother in hot pink, don’t you just love them.

The family room has a continued beachy vibe which is throughout the entire home. A clear coffee table sits in front of the sofa for a clutter free look.

The breakfast nook is comfy, casual and warm with the wall color and touches of texture. Fun pops of yellow and blue are in the bistro chairs and pillows along the banquette. The table base is in a chrome finish and the beach scene print is by Vincent Laforet.

Brooke wanted an all white kitchen for her beach dream house for the bright and clean look that it gives. The high gloss subway tiles give a glamorous touch and the vintage inspired hardware character.

Glamorous and laid back is what Brooke accomplished in her family room basement. Both the taupe sofa and hot pink swivel side chair are from where is else, La-Z-Boy. Brooke has been the spokeswomen for them for year now.

The bedroom is so lovely, I adore the soft blue walls and pops of the continued hot pink. She shipped the Baroque resin mirror from a NC thrift shop, when it arrived, it was twice a big as she expected. “The seller only displayed half of it,” she laughs. She painted it white and I love it.

An heirloom piece from her mother of an English handled vase sits on her dresser filled with beautiful fresh flowers.

Brooke’s office is filled with soft colors and gray walls. The slip cover chair and ottoman are from La-Z-Boy. “I love rooms filled with pieces that tell a story, that have a history, that have been well-loved,” says Brooke.

This 1920’s cottage has a perfect outdoor patio for Brooke and her husband Chris to entertain. “I make a super refreshing cucumber vodka with muddled lime and agave,” she says.

Oscar de la Renta

Legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta has passed at 82. He was best known for dressing some of the worlds most famous women including Jacqueline Kennedy, Laura Bush, Oprah Winfrey and recently designed Amal Alamuddin wedding dress. Before I was in the interior design industry I was working in the fashion industry for many years. I had the honor of meeting this lovely man years ago in Dallas when I worked for the company, he was such a gentleman and so kind to me. It seems like yesterday I was attending one of his fashion shows and merchandising from store to store. It saddens me but we all know that his legacy will live on and continue to shine. One my favorite quotes from him was, “The qualities I most admire in women are confidence and kindness.” Oscar had recently launched and added a home collection which includes table settings, entertaining essentials, gifts and rugs. Here is a look at some of his amazing fashion designs.
