Thankfully not from everywhere ...and It is wonderful to see these photos and be reminded of whence we came. thank youLesli at My Old Country Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07081045872864580016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-155187371036464672016-01-14T15:50:21.683-05:002016-01-14T15:50:21.683-05:00It helps to have been the head of the French branc...It helps to have been the head of the French branch of Sotheby's.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-29703025467967519772016-01-14T12:13:12.630-05:002016-01-14T12:13:12.630-05:00Jennifer,

Yes, the lighting - no pot lights in the ceiling, but lovely chandeliers and good lamps. Pot lights are for showrooms, and kitchens, not for homes. <br /><br />When I see this and compare it to today's "Curated Kravet" which looks like expensive HGTV, I could cry. I sometimes thing that today, very few designers, let alone clients, know anything about great, timeless design that makes a welcoming home in which to "cocoon". srbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856563845261571825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-38312625730873736352016-01-13T11:13:37.135-05:002016-01-13T11:13:37.135-05:00I could move in tomorrow. lovely.

Yes, this is cocooning at its very best. I remember this layout and apartment. It's the best of that style of décor. When all the washed-out insipidness of today's decorating styles finally wears off, people should sink back into this warm, inviting, enveloping, Calgon-enhanced mode of making a nest.
