It's difficult, I think, for many people to see beyond the brand, especially in an age when marketing suggests that one is an individual despite wearing a uniform. It's the same in interior design - the names, the brands make quality and personal style irrelevant. More's the pity!Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-69052629292015065392012-05-01T12:23:10.669-04:002012-05-01T12:23:10.669-04:00Laurent, thank you.

I think, also, there are few decorators left who know how to create an interior that is suitable for the client and not just for the camera.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-35620300939277310422012-04-30T23:44:56.912-04:002012-04-30T23:44:56.912-04:00Well now, after chuckling at The Devoted Classicis...Well now, after chuckling at The Devoted Classicist's comment, I have completely lost focus myself on what I was going to write....but it was something along the lines of...a truly stylish person is partly so because they choose to own that which they admire, not which they think they should admire.

B...Buick was a customary deflection of ostentation. Bill Roth (Matson Lines, Filoli estate in Woodside) comes to mind. If people who live with comfort have not adapted to it naturally, they are always so painful to observe. But theirs is a pervasive lameness and I can't figure out why. They can never be anyone's true friend, and must pack together. Your energies in this direction are a very welcome tonic among pages celebrating rooms; and it's heartening to know that they must have been passed to many through teaching.Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-72482557617681819132012-04-30T15:24:01.180-04:002012-04-30T15:24:01.180-04:00Blue, I was glad to see these new images and revis...Blue, I was glad to see these new images and revisit the others. Isn't it a shame, too often now days, when the rich lack taste and generosity? Perhaps there will be a new artistic patron or two that will rise above this current batch of Russian and Chinese billionaires. Well, we can hope.The Devoted Classicisthttp://tdclassicist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
