Inspire Notes: Ms Kelly Behun has created a beautiful oasis of calm, beauty and serenity in her Long Island weekend home. Floor to ceiling windowed walls, walnut floors and gleaming white limestone sits gracefully atop a stretch of perfectly coiffeured green expanse facing the sea. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This home style breathes. It exudes space, peace and calm. The amazing location and the square footage has a lot to do with this.

Bohemian Home
Inspire Notes: Fresh, natural and vibrant. The homeowners have kept this space relaxed and terrifically inviting with plenty of soft furnishings, North African style leanings and large open windows to let in the sun. The chairs in this space carry quite a bit of the overall style. There is the 1970’s African wicker chair just hiding out of shot above and the rather delicious hanging chair below.

Her home is a veritable mix of calming whites, light chevron wood flooring, quirky Swedish design, vintage finds and classic furniture cuts. For example…and just for starters, the scene above features the neat lined Curve Sofa with slightly overly-staged cushions that make you want to have a cushion fight and mish them up a bit. Then there’s the kooky Baklava lamp from Swedish design powerhouse Claesson Koivisto Rune. …
