		<title>Smoldering vs. Sparkling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A quote from Robert Sackville-West (from British House &#38; Gardens, June 2010) regarding the style of Knole,  his family&#8217;s ancestral home:
&#8220;During two years of total immersion in the place, I have come to realise that whatever you do, you have to respect-and not fight against-that feel Knole has of fading magnificence, that magic which smolders [...]]]></description>

		<title>Peccant Color: The Dark Soul of Charles James</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In 1982 the Brooklyn Museum mounted an  exquisite exhibit from their holdings of the couture apparel of Charles  James.  A solitary genius who lived and died in the Chelsea Hotel,  James employed breathtaking construction to create the most glamorous  and startling of silhouettes.  What was also self-evident from the  exhibit [...]]]></description>

		<title>Decorating is Fun!  Dorothy Draper in the Breakfast Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now this is something else.  Pretty exotic, huh?  The base is made of aluminum, for heaven&#8217;s sake!  I&#8217;ve declined to take the glass top. It  will be interesting to see what will work instead.  Perhaps an oval top, covered in aged copper, possibly in zinc.

I think this table base  paired with the mauve Mauny wallpaper* [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Glamour of a Kitchen Sink</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if the  German silver sink were not lovely enough, Walter, the genius  of  antique plumbing has come up with the most beautiful all-in-one sink   faucet, and he&#8217;s as chuffed about it as I.

These are Walter&#8217;s photos showing the faucet&#8217;s top and bottom. The faucet is from the 1890&#8217;s, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Word About the Floor Stain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Monocoat
I&#8217;m taking a bit of a risk since I don&#8217;t know anyone who has used this stuff but I&#8217;m planning to stain every floor in my house using it.  I&#8217;m attracted to the fact that it is extremely environmentally friendly (not VOC&#8217;s) and that it&#8217;s applied in one coat. No polyurethane is needed to coat. [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Laundry Room</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 

In my pre-married days I was a passionate laundress.  I learned the arcane skills of couture dressmaking and concomitant with learning how to prepare a hem and make a dart were the skills of washing fine fabrics and ironing properly.  Besides a regulation size ironing board one needed such tools as a a much [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Hiatus but Work Progresses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Moving from a large house filled with the bric and brac of the entire family&#8217;s lives from fifteen years has focused me in one gigantic way: I want to keep this new house free of the immense amount of clutter.  I feel so behind the curve! All of the disciples of Martha and Domino have [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dining Room-III</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
 Although the dining room has very little priority in terms of immediate decoration, I am finding it very easy to nail exactly my direction for finishes and fabrics.  Sadly, too easy because I love the  process of decorating so much that I long for the choices to be a bit  more of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dining Room-II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As one can deduce from photos in the previous post and this one the dining room requires a discerning eye to see past the now firmly jettisoned wallpaper( ick! see View 2)  and 70&#8217;s Victorian sconces stuck into the classic molding. Ideas have been flooding in and this is what I&#8217;ve determined I would like [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Dining Room-It&#8217;s a Start</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let&#8217;s just start out by saying&#8212;I LOVE this lamp!

So what is it and where is it from?  The lamp is from the Lotus lamp collection carried by Valerie Wade,  a fantastic antique lighting and furniture store on the Fulham Road in London&#8217;s Chelsea.  These are made for her and this beauty measures 37.5&#8243; by 35&#8243;.  [...]]]></description>
