Tour the gorgeous home of jewelry designer to the stars Tara Maria Famiglietti

Illustrious jewelry designer Tara Maria Famiglietti and her husband, musician Matt White, don't remember exactly when it happened "His guy friends didn't like the girl he had been seeing," Famiglietti recalls While the bones were exquisite, Famiglietti wanted to put her own stamp on the house.

In the kitchen, Famiglietti prefers to keep the long row of windows over the granite counters open, creating an indoor-outdoor feel and improving her view of the pool, patio, fire pit and comfy white daybed at the back of the house "I always, always have a design aesthetic in mind," says Famiglietti, whose jewelry line exploded onto the fashion scene in 2003, while she was still a student at FIT Famiglietti attributes her celebrated aesthetic to her somewhat eccentric upbringing in Murray Hill, inside a family of fashion fanatics.

Her father, Richard Famiglietti, ran the Downtown rock 'n' roll boutique Jenny Waterbags and designed for stars like Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix As a child, Famiglietti would model for family friend, fashion illustrator and late Halston creative director Joe Eula; his sketches of her made for Barneys and a local furrier now hang in her light-filled Sag Harbor study. .
