Or points. Your introduction to lesser known decorators is a boon, but my weakness is for your wielding of the word. I was impressed with the second picture where angles (Mondrian - Mondrian-like?) and curvaceousness make lovely table companions. Please continue to be style promiscuous!gésbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094108253356167918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-3477339862912752882010-08-17T16:26:05.822-04:002010-08-17T16:26:05.822-04:00BWS, thank you.

Genuflection like reflection should be an occasional activity. <br /><br />home before dark, you're right - taste is a slippery slope and one tends to go down it backwards.<br /><br />smilla4blogs, thank you. I too love the dining chairs - generously sized with high backs and probably very comfortable. The upholstery is superb - at least to my taste. The David Hockney piece above the console has stood the test of time too. <br /><br />Peach of Chic, thank you. Alfie could not be so bad-mannered as to bark for over an hour but actually it was a bigger dog, judging by the sound. <br /><br />As to originality, I understand the emphasis on it in a society where mass production is the norm. The word has become a synonym for novel, nothing more.Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07652670896513329236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-69684257607188847282010-08-17T09:51:30.617-04:002010-08-17T09:51:30.617-04:00Spot on, Blue.

But yes, taste is the important factor, and unfortunately, there seems to be little of that today as well. <br /><br />The dining room is indeed delicious. And please don't tell me that it was MY dog that was yapping. If it was, he was obviously pining for you!The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-52947877784367493192010-08-17T09:31:51.846-04:002010-08-17T09:31:51.846-04:00I am certain I have seen that dining room before.....I am certain I have seen that dining room before...or one inspired by, by someone with similar taste, it was the blue I loved...and the chairs.smilla4blogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516736514127098070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785207417164829425.post-4790803617728129892010-08-16T22:17:14.860-04:002010-08-16T22:17:14.860-04:00My pagan side tips her hat to the Fates and the Fu...My pagan side tips her hat to the Fates and the Furies. Blue is not my first turn for inspiration. Unless, of course, it is you. Shakespeare (whoever he really was) was not original. He simply stole from the best and left the rest.
