Rooms with a View 2012 Continued
It’s a good thing designer and blogging friend Lisa Ehrlich is so organized.

Depicting “A Young Lady Starting Out,” the 5’6″ x 8′ vignette “showcases a cultured young lady’s first NYC studio apartment.” I remember my first studio and I only wish it had been this pretty and polished!…

Part of the fun of Rooms with a View is discovering the story behind the spaces, especially when they have personal resonance.

Compiled from Sister’s unpublished memoirs and augmented by many interviews with friends, family, staff and fellow design icons, it is a wonderful insider look at an era and a life.…

Veranda Remembers Albert Hadley
I never wrote about the passing of Albert Hadley because as much as I admired the legendary decorator, I had never really had any personal dealings with him. I thought I should leave that to those who knew him well and had worked with him throughout the years.…
