I don't think it was terribly original, and in decor that is often a good idea. What makes Dior's interiors so beautiful is the taste, quality, classicism, and I think most importantly, the consistency. Like his outfits, it was a total look in which the final result was much greater than the individual elements. Those rooms look gorgeous and undated 55 years later. <br /><br />Funny, I've never seen a draped stair balustrade like in his entrance. In this application, it softens the coldness of the severe architecture and adds a good jolt of bold colour. Bright without being overwhelming. <br /><br />Dior...even the name is magic.Square with Flairhttp://squarewithflair.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-11884480965214143562011-09-26T18:17:56.917-04:002011-09-26T18:17:56.917-04:00Nice flowery pattern... is it fabric or a kind of ...Nice flowery pattern... is it fabric or a kind of a mural?design travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04555805556050210637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-90183917548131791492011-09-26T14:06:48.589-04:002011-09-26T14:06:48.589-04:00OK, I'll be the one to disagree with everybody...OK, I'll be the one to disagree with everybody else. I don't like the curtains in the entry because they are completely out of sync with the architecture. It's akin to putting ruffles on a klismos chair, and I'd be the first to tear those curtains down!Mark D.

However there are some things I do know that I want included in it one day such as a large leather couch and tapestry.Natashahttp://www.littlemisscouture.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2922868706165678396.post-90858357344066013772011-09-26T05:45:07.442-04:002011-09-26T05:45:07.442-04:00Wow!
