As for making antiques appealing to a younger generation - I could never imagine living without them (not that I a member of the younger generation any longer...). I grew up with them and use them in all my design work - they give a sense of permanence that a mass-produced piece from a showroom simply cannot... Timelessness is the word! Well done, Jennifer.<br /><br />TobyToby Alleyne-Geehttp://www.phoebus-interiors.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-14105249942104636072014-06-03T07:39:55.506-04:002014-06-03T07:39:55.506-04:00Except for the stiff window treatments, this works...Except for the stiff window treatments, this works for today. The painted finishes age well. I love to see timeless rooms! They are proof that good design isn't based on the latest trendy thing.

I think that there are still some young people who know about antiques- anyway, I wanted you to know that I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. DeSantis when I lived in Manhattan- and he could not have been a nicer guy. <br />PS, am planning to see dear Louise this coming weekend!<br />DeanDean Farrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11651467227402717540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-85669052433257643912014-06-02T09:30:30.146-04:002014-06-02T09:30:30.146-04:00BTW, love the creamy white stained wood floors, wh...BTW, love the creamy white stained wood floors, which really showcase the colors of the rugs and furnishings. Maybe that is what a room of "brown furniture" needs for the sculptural forms of English antiques to be fully and freshly appreciated...Quatorzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337746034416005462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-9518746327525730372014-06-02T09:17:46.550-04:002014-06-02T09:17:46.550-04:00Quatorze, Agreed!
