The Hamptons
“I have worked with Gina Mae Schubert on our 2nd home in the Hamptons in NY. She was able to turn a 1960s basic country home into a luxurious yet charming country oasis. Her use of wonderful colors, textures, and smart re-configuration of our spaces created a beautiful, welcoming, open plan for our entire family and guests to enjoy. She turned our peculiar and small master bedroom and bathroom into a very romantic, light filled space and brought in elements of French country furniture, and luxurious textiles and fabrics with a clean and creative style.”
