They're much more pleasing in person than in photographs, because most of us have an expectation that photographed interiors be perfect and nothing-out-of-place. I'd love to live in a place as "peak of chic" as this.Lisa Hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273391238820872246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-80553909221844748182009-03-06T10:05:00.000-05:002009-03-06T10:05:00.000-05:00Alex- That's a great room!

And the bed glows(although some of that may be photography). It looks like a night time apartment, not a place to spend a summer day. Is there any connection between this apartment and the Diana Vreeland red lacquer one?balsamfirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12347379810451503618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-51023727906957502112009-03-03T12:46:00.000-05:002009-03-03T12:46:00.000-05:00I love the colors used - they're so warm and invit...I love the colors used - they're so warm and inviting. And many of the pieces are exquisite. <BR/><BR/>But - for me! - the whole place is just too cluttered and crowded with "stuff" for me. Just looking at those crowded and piled up bookcases makes me sneeze!<BR/><BR/>These are beautiful rooms to look at, without question, but I don't think I could live in them for a second.<BR/><BR/>:-) different strokesTristan Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372571059339403974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-50559910961731144912009-03-03T09:42:00.000-05:002009-03-03T09:42:00.000-05:00Yoli- Morris' quote just sums it up perfectly!!Yoli- Morris' quote just sums it up perfectly!!The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-7563769579132502752009-03-03T09:41:00.000-05:002009-03-03T09:41:00.000-05:00Courtney- Wouldn't you love to have shelves like t...Courtney- Wouldn't you love to have shelves like that for all of your books?
