Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan. I love that name. To you and me he is the founder of the blog-website Apartment Therapy. Once a school teacher, now a lifestyle expert of renown, with three books under his belt, it would stand to reason that his beach house wound be adorable. And it is.

Max's house is in the part of East Hampton not known for huge estates and uber glam. It's in a section called The Springs (where I once had the cutest cottage). It's an area where the dwindling population of locals live, the carpenters, fishermen, and artists.

Max's mom owns a house and 18 acres on what was once Fireplace Lodge, a summer camp with rolling meadows. It has been in the family since the 1970's, and Max bought a modest house on a adjacent lot to the family compound. I say compound because several barns and yurts have been erected over the years, and Max loves to decorate them all.

As reported in
The NY Times, Max "believes in self-reliance and patience, qualities that must come in handy as a designer and as a parent. (He is separated from his wife, Sara Kate Gillingham-Ryan, a food writer and founding editor of
The Kitchn, Apartment Therapy’s food site; they share custody of their daughter, Ursula, 5.)"

Hello Valorie, I am coming out of my shell and getting back into the land of blogs. I just corrected my blog roll and put in your new blog address (which isn't so new anymore!).
ReplyDeleteLove the DIY art - although it is DIY, it still takes an expert eye and hand to be able to create something that works. Plus, the arrangement is unexpected, and that is part of the beauty!
Have a wonderful week, and a happy 4th!
