East Hampton Weekend : Barefoot Contessa Sighting & Martha Stewart's Home

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sometimes I still can't believe we sat next to the Barefoot Contessa at dinner last year when we visited the <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/03/east-hampton-weekend-mill-house-inn-new.html">Hamptons</a>... I just had to share this post again!  Thanks for re-reading some of my favorite posts lately - Emma and I have been taking a little Summer break this week!  I'm working on some home projects (lots of spray paint and stripping wood involved) that I'll be sharing next week.  Oh, and I'm trying to convince Mike to build me a giant wood bed... I'm hoping he'll be able to copy the <a href="http://www.potterybarn.com/products/somerset-bed/">Pottery Barn Sommerset Bed</a>.  Check back soon for all of those updates!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
