The 2007 Idea House (12 Southwood Court, Amagansett, NY 11930) will open with a gala preview benefiting East Hampton’s Guild Hall on Friday, July 13th, 2007, at 12 Southwood Court in Amagansett from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Tickets for the gala are $150 and must be purchased in advance from Guild Hall by calling (631) 324-0806, ext. 13.

The Idea House, now in its fourth year, is a platform for renowned designers to create interiors and exteriors that showcase the latest in design trends and home innovations. During the gala, the house will be open to the public, as some of the most exceptional names in design turn this 9,200-square-foot Hamptons shingle-style house, donated by Sand Dollar Development Corporation, into a decorating masterpiece.

Located on the former 48-acre Warner LeRoy estate, the Idea House represents the next chapter in an illustrious history. Mr. LeRoy, the man behind such famed eateries as Maxwell’s Plum, Tavern on the Green and The Russian Tea Room, was born into Hollywood elite. His father was film maker and director Mervyn LeRoy (“The Wizard of Oz”) and his mother was Doris Warner, the daughter of Harry Warner of Warner Brothers Studios fame.
