  • Sally Quinn talks about purchasing Grey Gardens from Little Edie and she recalls an unexpected visit from Lois Wright.
    I think this is from 2009.

    I came back to this after watching the latest iteration of this historic home on home worthy. I love this deco so much more than the current, overwhelming version that the present owners have created. What a shame.

    Wow! What a huge difference. It looked so badly run down in the film, but now thanks to the owners and decorators, it is so magnificently restored, and better than ever. You can appreciate the grounds and parts if the property you could never see before. It was grey now turned into sunshine. This was so great to see. Thanks! 👍👍☺️

    It is heartbreaking to see what the current owners have done to this home, as of today, on Homeworthy. It’s a classic example of beautifully restored historic homes, falling into the wrong hands. They have absolutely ruined this home.

    Fashion designer Liz Lange and her husband bought Grey Gardens in 2017. They spent lots of money and time on repairing the foundation and structure of the c. 1901 house, as well as bringing the inside back to life, so it will last a long time. It looks even better!❤

    This restoration was perfect, maintaining the original casual elegance of the house and using much of the Beale's furniture and era appropriate colours and fabrics. The later renovation was ghastly and ripped the soul out of the house 😣

    "Big edie picked you, because she knew you'd restore the house to its former glory" ..... yet it was neither "restored" nor even remotely resembling its former appearance. It was almost entirely gutted and remodeled. Glad the house was saved, but this isn't a "restoration", it's a renovation.

    This story sounds fishy. So this lady was house shopping in the Hamptons and couldn't find anything, and just happened on the grey gardens house? The documentary had been out and the house was famous. This sale didn't happen by chance and this woman didn't just stumble upon it.
