This photo is in the book, however at the time we did not know the location. Thanks again for sharing!

Most (if not all) of the interiors shown seem to have been in New York, although it's possible that I missed a reference to Chicago.

Anyway, my first question after I came across this shot was whether Rose was in town on a project, and if so--for whose house? If this book includes a list of clients, maybe I'll finally find a clue. Either way, I'm looking forward to the book.Magnaverdehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04231057342527140091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-25267262591954436732012-08-21T10:50:03.751-04:002012-08-21T10:50:03.751-04:00Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to buy it.Thanks for the tip, I'll be sure to buy it.kippienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-15522609978376925992012-08-21T10:28:16.645-04:002012-08-21T10:28:16.645-04:00can't wait to get this one + thanks for the ti...can't wait to get this one + thanks for the tip. xxpeggybraswelldesign.compeggy braswellhttp://peggybraswelldesign.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-27647611006104085612012-08-21T09:55:07.658-04:002012-08-21T09:55:07.658-04:00Preordered and waiting.

Some people point out how 'modern' the work of some past designer appears, but the feature of these seems to be how well suited they were to their era.Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.com
