Designing Duo | Scott and Kathy Formby on one of the porches at their “tree house” in Amagansett.
Woodland Hideaway | One of 35 homes designed by Julian and Barbara Neski, the cantilevered, L-shaped structure provides a snug parking space for the couple’s vintage Ford Mustang.
Easy Living | The mix of mid-20th-century furnishings and Moroccan textiles in the living room is sophisticated without being stuffy. The Knoll couches still have their original black leather; both the chairs and the coffee table are by Jens Risom. The Formbys picked up the hand-woven rug in Paris.
Dine In Style | In the dining room, which is adjacent to the living room, two Poul Henningsen Snowball lamps set the stage for casual meals. Black-enamel Bertoia chairs surround the Jens Risom table. The rug is from Morocco; the painting is by Helen Frankenthaler.
Style Statement | With its playful tableau and vivid palette, a guest bath evokes whimsy. Walls are covered in persimmon sea grass; the towels are by Emilio Pucci. The vintage Jackson Pollock poster is a yard sale find.
Earth Tones | The master bedroom is a serene retreat, shaded by beech and oak trees. A zebra rug sits beneath a Marco Zanuso armchair; the 1950s bedside lamps are from Neo-Studio in Sag Harbor.
Just Drifting | Through A piece of driftwood holds court over the master bedroom’s balcony.
Restful Lair | In a guest bedroom, walls are covered in charcoal sea grass. The rug is from Marrakech. See Resources.
