While we’re all for NYC rooftop parties and boat rides to Governors Island for a few dozen oysters, oftentimes the best thing about
summer in the city
is leaving it. (Just walk into a subway station on a 95-degree day, and you’ll understand why.) So it’s no surprise that each weekend from June to September, hundreds of city-dwellers escape to Long Island for some much-needed
beach time
. For native New Yorker and founder of
The Select 7
Pamela Schein Murphy, that means a visit to her idyllic Hamptons home.
With floor-to-ceiling windows, a soothing, neutral color palette, and oceanfront views, the space is pretty much the ultimate
summer getaway
. And don’t even get us started on the pool… It’s the stuff of dreams. We stopped by a few weeks ago to get the lowdown on how she created a
modern beach house
, how a laptop is all you need to run a successful business, and why you should never underestimate an IKEA kitchen set.
