Turn, Turn , Turn
Flip is more than a new Bishop Arts home decor shop. It’s also owner Kevin Brailsford’s spirited retail philosophy. “I’m always intrigued by stores that change,” he says, “and home stores always seem too static—they don’t flip their goods like fashion.” Open since May, Flip’s merchandise will change seasonally along with the store’s look. Gone are the acid green vases and fresh white pillows from summer; in their places are etched floral urns and botanical-printed platters in moody autumn hues. “I call the look an overgrown, forgotten park in Paris,” Brailsford explains. dinner plate, $32 for four, at West Elm.

The Scoop
Mecox Gardens, Southampton’s bastion of WASPy East Coast home furnishings chic, opens a boutique on Cole Avenue in early October. Former floral stylist Tyler Sweatman is slated to be the new manager. (More to come in our next issue.) A phoenix emerging from the ashes of its December fire, The Copper Lamp has reopened with a cache of china, flatware, and crystal, plus a few new lines, including Jay Strongwater, Raynaud, and the botanical designs of Anna Weatherly. Viking Cooking School at the Milestone Culinary Arts Center has been under renovation and shrouded in mystery for almost a year. Newly reopened, the center has dropped its product line and now boasts a demonstration theater for chef lectures, an outdoor kitchen and patio, an in-house sommelier, and vintner dinners. A water tasting bar is on its way.
