I wonder if Phoebe and Jim Howard got their inspiration for their spectacular dining room in their Charlotte shop, from this: I posted the picture a few weeks ago.

By sheer coincidence I received a copy of the book Best in European Decoration only last week, and I too was dazzled by the <br />library doors. To think it was all carried out in 1957!<br />A far cry from what is generally thought of as "mid-century"......Toby Worthingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887066048372484464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-41576721644266133942010-08-12T20:29:26.071-04:002010-08-12T20:29:26.071-04:00Its definitely my favorite room in that entire boo...Its definitely my favorite room in that entire book.

Pierre Delbee's apartment is so unbelievably loaded with detail that my brain goes into shut-down mode. Just give the Jacob chairs and I will be in heaven.
