Paltrow's taste dovetails nicely with Aerin's sister Jane's take on style. Also, Aerin has refered to Gwyneth as "muse," more than once in magazine profiles. I think it's very important that although some of us relish referencing the past, to keep in mind that Contemporary IS necessary!

And your description was spot-on. <BR/><BR/>Like you said, after the Vogue Living story, it's really nice to see more rooms and better understand exactly how Aerin preserved Estee's style. Fans of a certain color combo will love the rest of the home. (I spotted both Osa Johnson books in one room too.) <BR/><BR/>Clearly when the editors put this together months ago they didn't know it would be the last issue. So I think it worked out well that someone identified with classic American style (and with ties to Mark Hampton) ended up on the beautiful welcoming cover. Also, it's nice that a legend -- Tony Duquette -- is in there. <BR/><BR/>I'm still taking in the rest of it, but it was worth the dash to the book store :)Style Courthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11034129367345351303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-71516518617068631112007-11-09T15:54:00.000-05:002007-11-09T15:54:00.000-05:00Hurray, finally the holidays are here.

Without it we would not have as many beautiful interior magazines out there. But I am sure it falls into the homeowners taste too, at least when I am directing photos my clients are happy about that we are adding the small details but you have to do it with a finesse that does not take away the owners own style... and a wild guess would be that Aerin has great taste and that the stylist did not have to add that much for the photo shoot :)<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-72885134798189028682007-11-09T12:04:00.000-05:002007-11-09T12:04:00.000-05:00Patricia- I love that sofa too, esp. against the o...Patricia- I love that sofa too, esp. against the orange walls!The Peak of Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811933436075145329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-71815924539714385682007-11-09T11:53:00.000-05:002007-11-09T11:53:00.000-05:00PSI totally agree with you Peak, that she is honor...PS<BR/>I totally agree with you Peak, that she is honoring the legacy of her grandmother and that is a very notable trait nowadays to respect where we have come from.
