At first I thought that "industrial pillar" was something from an old stone barn in Europe. Then, the bedroom with the industrial AC ducts gave it away. That could be in any "old" American city with repurposed industrial to loft spaces.

Are we truly seeing a return to true decorating with a perfect mix of period with mid-century? I hope so. Thank you.

I adore the chintz on the sofa. I used it 30 years ago for curtains in my now grown daughter's bedroom - they're still gorgeous and make me happy whenever I go in her old room. It was one of Warner's great chintzes, sold in the US by Lee Jofa. Sadly, I think it is now discontinued.<br /><br />That room is the epitome of English comfort decorating. A room where even a Duchess feels comfortable putting her feet up on the sofa to read with a pillow at her back. Notice the arm covers - no US shelter magazine would allow such in a photo shoot! But they make great sense. Books, a good lamp, cushions, and comfortable furniture and pretty "things" - these are what makes an English room always inviting.srbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02856563845261571825noreply@blogger.com
