The house Robert purchased is a rather historical one. Located in the Hamptons, this house went through an interior overhaul to suit his and his wife, Susan's, tastes. The various changes made will surely amaze you. They renovated the house in a relatively short period. With the help of designer Joe Nahem, the interior came alive in just six weeks. Let's look at the changes below.

1. Entry Hall

The entry hall is the space where visitors entering the house form their first impressions. Therefore, it needs to be well-designed and leave an attractive impression on guests. In the previous residence, the hall looked like a typical classic house. It had a natural ambiance with wooden floors and walls, complemented by flowers on the table.

Nothing has changed about this old building. The building that was once a movie set location indeed has its own charm. With a giant windmill and a serene surrounding, the house is very appealing.
