I just love it when I come upon an interior designer's own home. And this is the case with this 1668, 3 storey, 30 room residence in Locust Valley, NY. The first cornerstone for the house was laid just 40 years after the British bought Manhattan from the Native Americans. That's a lot of history!
Named after the previous owners, the Hay family, it is now the weekend home of Jeffrey Bilhuber and his young son, Christoph.
Full of antiques, art, heirlooms, gorgeous fabrics, wallpapers and good old fashioned personality, it's a delight to peek into each room.
Enjoy!
