I literally squealed when I saw the photo of Diana Phipps. She is my interior design ispiration/icon. I have an old book of hers (early 80's) called "Diana Phipps's Affordable Splendor" in which she shows how to upholster walls. I am now the (very) proud owner of an upholstered half-bath! I believe she's related to another favorite icon of mine: CZ Guest.

They were all so elegant back then...everything seems so mundane now compared to this. Thanks for the post.

Agreed. And the fortunes of all five? :) Interesting that there's so much emphasis on French. I love French food, but I prefer the traditional American fare - perhaps with a twist - for Christmas Eve. Turkey with a side of nap, anyone?

Thanks for my morning chuckle....super writing.

Can you imagine to wear her dress to welcome your Christmas guests?

Aesthete- Interesting article about Phipps. I didn't realize she was a native of Czechoslovakia. I agree about Madame Arpels dress-divine. Please post your Christmas menu on your blog- I know it will be wonderful whatever you choose to cook.

Diana Phipps is such an inspiration (but Madame Arpels has the most incredible dress), and her menu does sound adventuresome. Though it was probably delicious, as toothsome as the rooms she decorated for Evangeline Bruce and others. She lives in Czechoslovakia now, as Diana Phipps Sternberg. See http://www.radio.cz/en/article/57455. Oh, and that reminds me: I better get cracking on our Christmas menu too!
