Have you seen the documentary Grey Gardens? There's the original, which was filmed in 1975 and followed the daily lives of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' eccentric first and second cousins- mother, "Big Edie," and daughter, "Little Edie." Then there's the movie remake, starring Drew Barrymore as "Little Edie." My cousin and I became obsessed with Barrymore's spot on performance; for months we went around calling each other, "Chicken," and "Mother Dear."
Why am I sharing this with you, Chicken? Because now you can rent the house that the two Edies lived in, and that Jackie O came in and helped rescue from disrepair. Grey Gardens is located in the Hamptons, and you can rent the whole estate for a month in the summer for a mere $125,000. I know, I know, it's pricey. (To put it lightly!) But take a look at the newly remodeled, returned to its former glory but oh-so-chicly updated pictures, and you may just be willing to break open your piggy bank.
Front Exterior Not a bad view to be met with as you come up the driveway.
Love that they worked with such a soft palette of mints and white.
The master bedroom.
The entryway.
Gorgeous garden gate. I believe this is the one Edie ducked through after explaining her costume of choice.
I thought I'd throw this in for fun- I'm not even sure if this show is still on tv, but my sister-in-law (who also let me know the house was for rent) told me about this particular episode of The New Normal because the little girl does a spot on Little Edie impression.
So, anyone want to go halfsies on the time share and summer in the Hamptons?
