Sagaponack - Design accolades from all corners of the East End flocked to the 10th annual Hamptons Designer Showhouse, presented by Traditional Home magazine to benefit Southampton Hospital. The sprawling Sagaponack estate, crafted by Michael Cerbone of All Seasons General Contracting, comes complete with an Olympic-sized swimming pool and guest cabana perfectly suited for the most lavish of Manhattanite transplants with a sequin-bedazzled wardrobe to match.

Whimsy was the catchword of the evening, as interior designers presented an eclectic mix of high-saturated colors against distinctive antique-quality furnishings, for an overall effect that is deliciously modern with an intellectual edge. Those of sartorial sensibility beware - neutrals were nowhere to be found, in a home primed for a budget-less, beachside Technicolor goddess. In a near schizophrenic array of color and class, here are five of the best impressions made:

1. Coral Wishes And Chartreuse Dreams, In Tobi Fairley's Guest Bedroom.


While sauntering through the second-story hallway, passersby were slapped with color by Fairley's freshly conceived boudoir. The room was anchored by a stunningly-striking Kelly green oriental twoile fabric - as seen on the headboard, pillows, and drapes - ensconced by corresponding colors that bring a bright flush to the most anemic of houseguests. Fairley, who established her firm nearly 10 years ago, was selected by Traditional Home magazine as one of the Top 20 Young Designers in America, 2009. Dressed from head to toe in saturated saffrom, she proved the perfect decorative accotreament for her room, with the southern debutante charm to match (www.tobifairley.com).

2. Whimsy For The World-Weary Traveler, Courtesy Of Keith Carroll.


Keith Carroll proves that there is nothing muted about buttercream and mauve. Taking inspiration from a high-luxe wallpaper pattern against somber black and white figure drawings, his bedroom offers an optimal mix of sophisticate elegance and down-home comfort, evidenced by the plate of Oreos perfectly arranged on plush bedding - the ideal crash pad for the stylish media mogul, craving home after a midnight red-eye from Rome. Carroll, with a background in politics and corporate communications, offers a freshly-focused eye to the most high-profile of clientele (www.keithcarrolldesign.com).

3. Donald Schermerhorn's Family Room Master Class On Color And Texture.


Donald Schermerhorn accomplished something ingenious in his octagonal-shaped family room space - an aesthetic that offers homage to the mid-century modern, with splashes of Native American heirloom textiles, for those creative executives en route to the Burning Man musical festival. With harsh geometric furnishings against a backdrop of color field murals, the overall impression offered fantastic contrast with an eclectic ease. Schermerhorn opened his own design firm in 1994, and is not afraid to tackle angular architecture in a way that is undeniably approachable (www.donaldschermerhorn.com).

4. Slumber Suitable For An Infant Heiress, With Patricia Fisher.


If the iconic Tiffany's jewelry box and a humid-heavy cumulous cloud spawned a design love child, it would not be nearly as serene and supple as Patricia Fisher's guest bedroom. With a gold-leafed and fuzz-covered lamb adding interest to a room inspired by the tranquility of its natural surroundings - periwinkle blues and well-bloomed white hydrangeas - Fisher lives up to the self-proclaimed title, "A Perfect Guest Room in the Hamptons." Fisher began her career as a high profile art dealer on 57th Street in Manhattan, and has been re-vamping the happy homes of Hamptonites for the past 18 years (www.patriciafisher.com).

5. Jennifer McGee's Breakfast Room Brings In The Outdoors.


According to interior designer Jennifer McGee, if there were a rehab program for faux moss addicts, she would be first on the list. With a weathered driftwood table and delectable splashes of lime-green detailing, McGee brought a fresh wink of humor to a room anchored by a twig chandelier and bird miniatures. McGee has been in the business of gracious living and comfortable design for nearly two decades, and her work has been features in Town and Country, New York Spaces, Southern Accent and Metropolitan Home (www.jennifermcgeedesign.com).

The Hamptons Designer Showhouse is located at 1224 Scuttle Hole Road, Sagaponack, and will be on display until September 4. Tickets are $30, with proceeds benefiting Southampton Hospital.
