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.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-86043528268128427482009-10-15T00:53:18.200-04:002009-10-15T00:53:18.200-04:00They were all so elegant back then...everything se...They were all so elegant back then...everything seems so mundane now compared to this.

I love French food, but I prefer the traditional American fare - perhaps with a twist - for Christmas Eve.

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.
