Inspiration

Albert Hadley’s sitting room for Mrs. John Hay Whitney served as inspiration for the curtains in Bruce Burstert’s music room.  Funny how I had always been so focused on the vanity, that dreamy mirror, those wonderful lamps.

And, the room continues to evolve.  The images from earlier today were taken a while ago.  When I was there, there were new (old) portraits over the mantle and don’t miss that cut velvet on the wing chair.

  1. I imagine these rooms smelling of old leather, pipe tobacco and limes.

  2. I do love these wonderful portraits! The mural is gorgeous and I bet it is hand painted.
