While I'm partial to the tomato red version, I do have to say that the claret version looked awfully cozy.

I'm assuming that over time, Tom Parr changed the claret toned bedroom<br />into the tomato red walled space we're more familiar<br />with?Toby Worthingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887066048372484464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-53559276358654548252012-02-20T10:13:48.257-05:002012-02-20T10:13:48.257-05:00Thank you for this post.

One can imagine that he took the colors from the first room (red, green and yellow) from the painting behind the sofa.Daniel Shigohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12736080550398734909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-39746825288398909992012-02-20T09:26:27.439-05:002012-02-20T09:26:27.439-05:00I have seen some interesting, mod work done by him...I have seen some interesting, mod work done by him in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
