I also have gotten to "know" Suzanne Tucker, his former assistant, in a similar manner! She sent her new fabrics to us, we LOVE them!

If, as I have read, that geography is destiny, I think Taylor's work has to placed in the land of Ahs where massive doses of decorator steroids are administered in the water and with sunshine blazing almost all the time.home before darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272062955786414729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-1479060001532145372010-02-25T10:47:55.549-05:002010-02-25T10:47:55.549-05:00Dilettante - you're right, in the blink of an ...Dilettante - you're right, in the blink of an eye!

In my youth when I was anxiously dreaming about "ROOMS" I held this house in my head as it combined Jean- Michel Frank, Elkins and my penchant for late 40s-50s Waspy neoclassicism.<br /><br />Ive always been as intrigued by the architecture as much as MTs reuse of Elkins' things. Dont make me dig it up... Isn't the architecture by William Wurster or Gardner Daily?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-63880909907643011582010-02-25T08:23:02.637-05:002010-02-25T08:23:02.637-05:00Agree.

Our clip files are proving to be almost identical. This is one of my favorite Michael Taylor jobs also, and I had the entrance hall, which I find superbly calibrated, in a stack to scan for a 'favorite rooms' post. Ah well. I agree with you---I never much got Michael Taylor years ago, but as I've gotten, um, older...I am much more open to it. Love the pickled or cerused fireplace wall, also.The Down East Dilettantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950254669198151850noreply@blogger.com
