Except the asparagus ferns.<br /><br />That the major design components inside are a single fabric on fairly simple furniture with matching wallpaper and a very well done floor, is the perfect example of beautiful and timeless architecture not needing distracting interior decoration.<br />Positively lovely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-32762261439999753972011-07-05T15:02:40.789-04:002011-07-05T15:02:40.789-04:00I feel really sorry for Charlene.

When she tried to board a plane back to South Africa, the airline called Albert (the advantages of owning your own country) and he came down and "talked" her into going back with him and going through with the wedding. No wonder it was tense.Lucindavillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16706865784070675588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-11454119657110953462011-07-05T11:35:37.127-04:002011-07-05T11:35:37.127-04:00That's a match that's not going to end wel...That's a match that's not going to end well. She was stunning - that dress was just awesome, but that was one unhappy bride, one "whatever, I'm a Prince" groom, and two very unhappy sisters-in-law. The consensus is there will be at least 2 more illegitimate children "coming out" - at least 1 conceived during the time Charlene & Albert have been together. Allegedly, she only found out about this a day or so before the wedding. <br /><br />Truly sad.<br /><br />UTUntouched Takeawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08998398704469795733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-59484849245567053342011-07-05T11:29:47.776-04:002011-07-05T11:29:47.776-04:00What was up with that wedding?

If body language is a valid science then that beautiful bride is in for a rough ride with her Prince Charming~there wasn't a trace of emotion on his part, real or feigned.

I don't know about raising the structure three tile steps above the pool, however, as the possibilities for an accident seem great.

The weekend...I hope you feel better soon Jennifer!<br /><br />The weekend was a disaster waiting to unfold. The Grimaldi wedding was a farce. KL, looking bad. The ultra high humidity at the start of the Peachtree Road Race sent me back to bed for the day.<br /><br />Reading your post this morning of Mrs. Chambers pool house was a delight, and as delightful as she is. So much style and refinement despite the 1960's label of your post!<br /><br />It just struck me that what is missing today in all the fashion and shelter magazines is Style and Refinement!<br /><br />Has refinement completely disappeared from living well today?Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427191222260559439noreply@blogger.com
