I've only been once and, needless to say, you hardly scratch the surface with a single visit. Gotta get there again sometime soon. (Do you know the palace at Fountainebleau? Brilliant.)<br />All the best!<br />MichaelMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933395486332411202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-83692500021714107852009-12-03T11:34:38.149-05:002009-12-03T11:34:38.149-05:00Lovely.

She's ready to move in so we'd go with your ideas of footstools and side tables in the library. Aren't proportions important to make us feel at home! I love your pictures with such beautiful lighting.gésbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094108253356167918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-6366963111275063952009-12-02T22:30:32.689-05:002009-12-02T22:30:32.689-05:00Very nice!

Sure, the big gilt-&-mirror salons in the Wrightsman galleries at the Met are beatiful, but it's the little oval room & Marie Antoinette's even smaller boudoir, big enough for about 5 people--and fewer than that if the women were wearing big dresses--that show how little a space one really needs to make a memorable interior. Assuming, of course, that he has the same kind of talent that the designer of those rooms had. <br /><br />This tiny room (and I don't think I've ever seen pictiures of it before) is like a playful rebuke to the bombastically overscaled & overdecorated showhouses I saw on a house tour last fall. I'm ready to move in, too, so we may all have to take turns.
