Aerin Lauder is now on the cover of Elle Décor’s July/August issue showcasing her weekend and holiday home in the Hamptons. She inherited the home ten years ago from her legendary grandmother, Estée Lauder, founder of the beauty company where Aerin currently serves as senior vice president and creative director.

Lauder worked with Victoria Borus of B Five Studio to update several of the rooms that she described as “heritage with a twist.” She noted that she kept all of the blue and white Chinese porcelain from her grandmother in the main living areas. Lauder added, “My grandmother loved blue and white. You can see it in everything, from the way she decorated to her Porthault linens to the packaging of her perfume and cosmetics.”

A New Yorker can really appreciate the spaciousness of her home- and the gold accents in the dressing room are to die for.
