It’s time to forget about the fickle temps on the East End and focus on flipping your Hamptons home over to the spring season.  Put your wool throws, furry pillows, and brocade table cloths away for hibernation, and start putting together a spring palette that will inspire you to throw open the windows to let the fresh air in, plant your porch pots, and invite a few friends over for dinner who you haven’t seen for months.  Here’s a few of our favorite items available now to put you in the mood…

1. The Laundress Sport Spray: In the summertime, morning workouts are usually followed by a few hours in town grabbing coffee and shopping, so it’s common to stay in your gym clothes for several hours. Just use the Laundress sport spray and you smell like you’ve just stepped out of the wash. The small size fits discretely in your bag. For those not-so-sweaty sessions, you can even skip the washer and just use the spray. They also make a spray for bed linens and cashmere. Shop the Laundress Sport spray at Stella in TriBeca.

2. Sophie Conran Dinnerware at Hildreth’s, Southampton:   The Sophie Conran for Portmeirion collection is the perfect collection for modern day living. Crafted from durable porcelain and featuring a delicate ripple design. Designed by Sophie Conran, this oven-to-table collection looks as good on the table as it is useful in the kitchen and has won the ELLE Decoration Award for Best in Kitchens. Shop the full collection at Hildreth’s Home Goods at 51 Main Street, Southampton.

3. Moroccan Amber Nest Fragrance Sticks: Since day one of owning my Hamptons home, I’ve had this incense in all of the main rooms and the aroma continues to amaze every guest. I’ve even had someone tell me that this is what their dream home would smell like! Shop Nest Fragrances at InHome Sag Harbor at 132 Main St, Sag Harbor.

4. Madison James Incense Sticks from East Hampton Garden: There’s no shortage of garden centers in the Hamptons and they all have unique items. One of the best kept secret is the Flyaway sticks from the East Hampton garden shop. These wood sticks are hand dipped in small batches and are made with only essential oils and natural ingredients so they smell wonderful and fend off bugs without harming them. They last around four hours and each pack comes with 31 sticks. Shop the Flyaway Sticks exclusively at East Hampton Gardens at 16 Gingerbread Ln, East Hampton.

5. Rubber Ice Cube Tray: These trays are the hit of any party. You can put fresh herbs such as mint, or even freeze some berries in the trays and you have elegant, unique ice cubes for any drink. Purchase these at The General Home Store in East Hampton at 100 Park Pl, East Hampton.

6. Eileen Fisher Home Exclusively by Garnet Hill: Organizing around a good cause: Eileen Fisher’s fair-trade baskets are handmade by the Wolof weavers of Senegal in partnership with the Peace Corps.
