When I was director of a big fashion company in Paris she came into the store one day and after choosing several items was surprised when she was asked to pay for them, telling the manager who she was. She then asked for the items to be shipped to New York but again didn't see why she should pay for shipping. I don't remember how it ended. The staff had no idea who she was as her generation and being American made her an unknown in France amongst the newer generations.
Yeah, the rich and the famous always think they should get more things - and for free too. They never feel they have enough - what shameless greed.
Welcome to the channel Stephanie, and oh my! What an excellent story, sad to hear about her character being that way! ⚜️❤️
@@CulturedElegance
Her father in law Joseph Kennedy showered Gloria Swanson with jewellery, furs and clothes.
But he charged everything to Gloria Swanson account.
Just like Sidney Poitier did the same to Dihann Carroll.
I worked in an exclusive store and the rich and famous, are notorious for not paying up.
One in particular took three month's to pay, and she's all over the paper's in Society section. You Tube.
@@luciaperdue5687you mean Sidney Poitier. not Belafonte !
@@CulturedElegance the Uber-wealthy live in a completely different world . The wealthy people I am friends with will discuss “ the help “ as the help stands right next to them. It is easy to comment on the character of another without understanding the world that they are born into . These same wealthy people , who have no clue as to ordinary concerns ; will help you out in every single way in a heartbeat . I suggest that one should just focus on how one behaves;& stop judging those who behave differently.
What a colossal & pointless waste of time . Is this truly where so many apparently find enjoyment; disparaging others ? How very sad. Unsubscribed.
These days, millions have unlimited amounts of money to spend but uncanny very few have exquisite taste.
That’s your opinion.
@@Veronica-pv3qh To be able to live the observations of Thorstein Veblen does not imply good taste, often quite the contrary.
@@charlesvanderhoog7056 I’ve never read thorstein verblen actually. And having just looked at his wiki bio, I wouldn’t agree with anything he said either.
Oh man I couldn’t live under all that decor
The Bouvier sisters were raised in Society. They were raised with class. They were exposed to great taste. They were "in the book." There was no name in America with more socal cachet than That some of you don't like their taste, or understand it, was of little concern to The Beautiful People. Most of you In this room are not responsible for creating a lasting style. Think of the (Grace) Kelly bag or the (Jane) Birken bag. Your like of orange & purple stripes will not be embraced by people with taste. You are not among the crowd who matters, they could care less about you. Pattern on pattern is a very chic choice, likely to be embraced with the Social Circle, and their Decorators, important, big name Decorators. Who aren't cheap to hire. Many refuse possible applicants who just aren't "our kind Darling." You are unlikely to add anything of lustre to their portfolios. You are unlikely to get them noticed by Architectural Digest or The New York Times magazine. Your taste and creativity might be adored by friends and neighbors. Unless you are an extraordinary housewife with impeccable taste in wallpaper and chintz, like Sister Parish, you are not likely to make it to Architectural Digest
either. Or Royalty, or First Ladies. This is the way things are. People named Trump or Kardashian are never going to be admired by the cognoscenti. Margaret Russell was the very successful editor of Elle Decor. She was chosen to succeed the legendary Paige Rense who elevated the ordinary Architectural Digest into the Magazine of Record for serious interior decoration and famous clients and Decorators. Quite a promotion for Margaret Russell, who was probably the most qualified person to assume that mantle. Early in her tenure editing AD, Margaret had the. unmitigated gall to put two Kardashian sisters on the cover of Architectural Digest. Margaret Russell was fired
I can,loved!❤
The money that must have been involved in buying and decorating all those homes is staggering to think about. The fabric alone must have been in the millions.
She apparently was hated by The Radziwill family for her spending
Not really honey. It just Chintz fabric and loud papers much of the time. There is a limit.
@@orion8835 Well, sweetie, you don't know what you're talking about.
@@orion8835 Just because you work at Joann's Fabrics doesn't mean you know anything about designer grade textiles.
In 1996…
I just got off the AM Track at Penn Station and was walking up 5th Avenue on a Sunday afternoon. There was Lee, just gliding along walking alone looking absolutely beautiful and coiffed. She was so stylish it just oozed out of every pore! I was happy just to share the sidewalk with her.
Wow how amazing! What a great story!⚜️
❤ Amazing
I can't even stand this pronunciation of curt-tins.
Lee and Jackie were the queens of wallpaper.
Seems everyone of all financial levels were wallpaper happy!
That's funny, "Queens of Wall Coverings", covers more materials.
Boli odpoene snobky a mysleli si ze au nadludia
Dat im jednu izbu s kupelnou a videli by ste ake by boli krasne.
I like that she kept her favorite pieces of furniture and moved it from one location to another.
Duh?
This lady surely was not afraid of color, gold and patterned fabrics. Absolutely breathtaking.
I agree
Most of the comments are negative and most likely from people who have a house full of Levitz furniture circa 1998. The Bouvier sisters had absolutely exquisite taste. If you notice, all of the furniture pieces are either classic American or French. Those have never nor will ever go out of style. Some of the fabrics are contemporary for the time, but those are easily swapped. Those NYC apartments are top to bottom stunners in any decade. Lee was featured multiple times in Architectural Digest. The woman had incredible style. Haters are gonna hate.
Goodness, it all looks so busy .
LOL. That was "the rich look" 50 years ago. These homes are ALWAYS over done.
@@LannieLord Just show's money can't buy good taste .
@@joanmatchett8100in the 50s this was good taste I can bet in 70 years what you consider “good taste” will be out of date lol
@@joelchesters4184 I like classic clothes and furnishings, but you could be right. Who knows what the future will bring ? .
I can't understand how all of those competing patterns and colours in a room can be considered "good taste". It makes me feel like I've got some work to do just looking at it.
I guess it’s a question of taste bc I see this style of decorating as being way too busy and over crowded. I’m not a minimalist at all, but the competing patterns and colors is exhausting. I also find it puzzling why people think it’s attractive to pile a ton of books on the coffee table. One or two, maybe, but why so many? To each his own! 😄
Individual items and elements of decor are all beautiful, but yes, very busy. And it seemed to me that each apartment was just a variation on the theme of pictures hanging over fabric, and sofas blending right into the wall.
One woman's poison is another's passion.
There are some rooms that are gorgeous but, I agree, the different patterns compete and are jarring.
Lori, so true. My decorating style is "too much is almost enough". My home resembles a cross between a museum and an antique shop packed to the gills. But looking at her patterns upon patterns and color schemes, it almost sent me into an epileptic seizure.
Money can't buy taste, and you don't have to be rich to decorate tastefully.
You said it! It’s the stuff of nightmares! I liked the daughter’s yellow and brass bedroom though!
wow everything in her homes was a conversation piece. never a boring room.
Those Sister-Girls knew how to pick Interior Decorators like nobody's business. Lee sewed all her own clothes.
Boy she really had great taste. It must have been so hard when her sister died of cancer. Thank you for the most wonderful and interesting videos 😍
And most of what she wore were contemporary classic which these days still most of the designers revive and revive and revive...It is even very difficult these days to find ladies I mean in 21st century who can CARRY these styles with such ??Couldn't find the word.Basically,we no longer have women who can CARRY a look.Most of the time the dress carries them.Basically,you have it or dont have it.look some styles she wore were quite simple but she had the inner essence.I am not going to go much into their interior design preferwnce.You know they travelled a lot including hotels,cities,seaside,mountains,lakes,skyscrappers,chalets etc...I most of the time fall in love with a detail I see in a different location.So,most probably they were also.They wanted to recreate the ambience they loved very much in their homes and they had money.If you travel a lot,your home & homes become what you appreciated .And they had to stay in very minimalist decorations aswell.And they were not designers themselves but great stylists of their own I assume.So,their homes were a kind of design/styling project for them..
Lee and Jacqueline were not close after their mom ( Janet) passed away!
It had something to do with Jacqueline stealing Ari Onassis from her! Jacqueline was ruthless about getting money!
I like simplicity of design and decorating. To me, most of those rooms look garish. But to each his own.
So?
Love the presentation you’ve done here, Lee had such style. I’m “old as dirt” so love the flowers everywhere, walls, fabrics. Aside, Renzo Mongiardino’s name is pronounced, moan-jar-dee-no, with accent on the dee. He was one of the original maximalists, along with Tony Duquette, & Mario Buatta. Thanks again for such a beautiful presentation!
Thank you! I adore the flowers everywhere too! Where have you heard his name pronounced that way? ⚜️❤️
I'd advise her to also consult Google or same for correct pronunciation of moire. We'll overlook vase as it's regional.
m.czcams.com/video/wNd1y5--8FU/video.html
Dear Gianna, It's always a good day when you learn something new, and thanks to you , this was my lucky day. I never even tried to pronounce that man's name in my mind, so thanks for that tip. I love his style. It's a mix, and I want to believe I understand that mix. The Buatta book rests here next to me; it sits atop an African stool, which makes for a delight-full cigarette "table." I am familiar with his style, kinda Sister Parrish with fresh air and pizzazz. As a youngster. I really liked Asian minimalism, until, one-day, I didn't. Since that time, I never thought much about maximalism, but I feel today that I can't get enough stuff in my rooms. Stuff being relative, I say, bring it on, make my pack-rat heart come alive. Life grows more complex, and so does my floorplan. As to Princess Lee, there is just something so sublime about all those framed-prints sets mounted with precision atop figured walls. That dynamic threatens to blow up at any time, yet, this is where talent becomes evident, the center does hold. Bravo, Modigliani !
@@CulturedElegance Hi, well, I live in Italy & speak Italian, & he is among the most famous & admired designers here. The most beautiful book on his work was already out of print when I discovered him, I managed to find a copy on eBay but guess someone else liked it as well, because my order never arrived! I found another book, but not as complete a history. I should try again but I need to start getting rid of books instead of buying more! That said, the beauty brings such joy!
@@jackmason4029 Jack, you made me laugh, because you described my life to a T. I wish I had that understanding of Renzo Mongiardino you’ve gained. I started with Asian style, because we lived in Japan when I was a child. Then I came to Italy & for a while I was into all things Italian, but slid into the gracefulness of French. Finally said stop you crazy woman, when I inherited a gigantic Venetian style mirror that is more villa than Italian farmhouse style. When I finally retired I discovered my Three Bears house (juuusst right) was too small for all my & inherited collections, so my pack-rat holdings have to rotate. It doesn’t help to have fabulous antique markets close by. I have 6 new pictures to frame, had gallery walls before they were a thing, & even the bookshelves are hung with art, there’s a bit of space left in the stairwell…. And yes, to have those incredible florals as a backdrop would be delicious. I hope you’re able to not just understand but recreate that style! Best of luck!
Jackie and Lee had exquisite taste but very different styles. Jackie's was casual elegance. It seemed effortless, simple, and cozy. Lee's was more formal, elegant, but somewhat over-the-top. Her rooms looked like Versailles. They were not as cozy but were beautiful. Lee was more daring in her use of bold colors and patterns - animal prints, striped fabric walls. I like Lee's bold style but I would "edit" - remove a few things.
It’s called chinoiserie
@@vanesastucki9665 Love it! Also think Lee was indeed prettier than Jackie, although Jackie has a classic look.
The lady has taste but fixated on flowers and walls covered exhausting colors. It gives me headaches. Big sister's s choices are far more elegant for me.
It looked overwhelming and exhausting. How would you feel comfortable? Very busy, makes your head hurt.
But opulently beautiful. Stunning for entertaining.
Lee still alive, was extrav😢agant
...these homes were unique....just " too much fabric", ...( but it's what she liked, so that's only my opinion ). The understated bedroom ,with the garden prints, so lovely.
I cannot imagine moving that many times, especially from one Continent to Another.
Excellent video, as always.
Thank you!! So glad you liked it! Yes she has a very unique style, and moved a great many times!
Same feelings here too, some rooms were passable but just way too much fabric. Also the fabrics used on such a scale must have cost a fortune. But I can imagine the fun it must have been to move and redecorate on a whim. Wish I could have a bit more means to enrich my life, LoL
its just what the aristocracy likes
@@hazel2546 They all jump around like toads. Middle-class people are so much more grounded. Real-poor people stay put, if at all possible.
I agree with you, too many items, doesn't have much space, might be a cold weather needs to keep warm.
Wow. Just wow. Elegance is an understatement. Would love to see some background on her wardrobe - amazing outfits throughout her life.
Indeed!❤️⚜️ Love that idea!! I’ll put it on the list!
For several years, she worked for Armani and wore the clothes he designed.
As for taste, Lee definitely came out ahead of her more cautious Big Sister. Her homes are distinguished by their beauty. Her choice of interior decorators was top notch. Her lasting "legacy" was her sense of fashion and style. There are dozens upon dozens of Pinterest pins of Lee dressed to the 9s. She quite often looks better than anyone else in the room, including that silly Nan Kempner or that stodgy CZ Guest. It can be noted that Lee was one of Truman Capote's swans. She adored his attentions and confessed much to him. He kept her secrets and did not retaliate against Lee as he did with some other swans, notably Barbara Paley. Lee became an alcoholic, and I would wager that Truman was a leading factor. He was often publically embarrassing when he was drunk. One story had Jackie driving Lee to an AA meeting, and then waiting in the parking lot to see how long Lee stayed at the meeting. Not real classy for either one.
Ha ha…not sure you can describe elegance as understated in some of the choices of decor…so many patterns in one room in many instances.
Let's talk about the style outfits of Jackie and Lee.
Great idea!💓💖
Thank you !! My favourite place where Lee Radzwill lived is the one in New York , whenRobert Kennedy was running for president
Thank you for your lovely comment! Yes, a beautiful home!!⚜️❤️
According to my taste, decoration should bring peace, serenity, for this world full of .... People are minimalist or not, but this decoration is somehow crowded
Every time you mentioned a new home/apartment I would think think “aghuu…”. Then I realized she didn’t have to move a darn thing! I absolutely hate moving. I’ve literally only moved once, as an adult, from our first house to the second with movers, but not packers, and now will never do it again. I’ve told our children, who are all now in college & highschool, there father and I are literally dying in this house because there is zero way I’m moving again without a full company ;). I couldn’t imagine what a pain her moves must have been though. To itemize and document our antiques beyond those on the insurance already was tedious.
(...when our things own us!! "Guilty!")
She had a unique style it doesn’t matter if we like it we are given a peek of her interior design and it’s fascinating. Thank you.
I agree with you Tina Rennett! Welcome to the channel! Thank you for your delightful comment!
I like your reply.
Fabulous! Wouldn’t have expected less than a grand lady like Lee Radizwell.
I loved the in door pool
Hey there! I came across your comment and I just had to reach out and say hi. Your perspective really caught my attention and I would love to get to know you better. Would you be interested in chatting sometime? Looking forward to hearing back from you!😊
@SOPHIA-ZK3TW, THE POOL AREA WAS THE BEST LOOKING OF THE WHOLE PLACE.
Now THIS woman and her sister Jackie had style!!!
“It was unpretentious…” 😂😂 The decor of all these Kennedy places is so gaudy; like a fabric mill exploded.
@PJEST, AGREE! GAUDY AND CLUTTERED.
@@freddie3206 To say the least!
Except she is not a Kennedy
I remember a story told by Jackie, at a big cocktail party event she felt the elastic in her underwear snap and her panties falling down so she waddled up to a corner, jiggled her hips until they fell to her feet and then bent down picked them up and put them in her evening purse ! Cool ! Yes young people, panties used to have elastic that you could thread into the top and change when it became too fragile!
Wow what a story!!! 🤣 thank you for sharing!!⚜️❤️
Clothing just used to last much longer. Strange story as quality of elastic was much superior too!
@@MsMesem Don't forget the repuation of both Jackie and Lee, they loved free stuff and were quite mean with money for certain things. Then again we all have a pair of less than perfect undies that we love and cannot throw away. When I made clothes for people I had a clients whose panties were so full of holes it was silly but she said that she loved them. Go figure.
So she went commando?
She is now my favorite designer. This has been a treat. Thank you for your work!
Thank you Rita!! Welcome to the channel!! So glad you enjoyed! Comments like yours make my day!
Actually, Renzo Mongiardino is the real genius behind her best interiors.
True "effortless" elegance. So exquisite. Her classic fashions would look great today too. Thank you for this.
@@buddhahoo1 I wouldn't call it totally effortless; she did have to exert herself reaching for the checkbook.
Her interiors were designed by the great Renzo Mongiardino.
She had exquisite taste indeed both in fashion and interiors.
love Lee Radziwells decor
Well, these homes ARE ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Yet I would love to see such palatial residences decorated by the owners with no professional assistance. I am certain they would still be stunning, but I personally would enjoy seeing them meet the challenge solo.
Better yet, how fascinating to see the owner's solo endeavors juxtaposed against the same challenge with the decorating budget of an median/average American family.
I am not being nasty: I am just remembering my mother removing the seams from a WW2 Army parachute and making the most fabulous draperies for our home, where she hosted officer's wives parties on a greatly limited budget. That memory always made me have greater respect for the restrained artist as opposed to the one who had no restraints at all. Brains and hutzpah:)
Kinda kinky asking for something "palatial" to be decorated with a middle-class budget. That sounds like a lot of parachutes. Budget is important in decorating, but creativity or talent or vision of a person is what is needed to really elevate any space. I recall, with utter amusement, a quote from Andre Putnam as she was exiting a tour of some Sand Castle MacMansion in a dessert, new home of some odious person: "So much taste.... all of it bad." I also remember PT Barnum saying: "You can never go broke underestimating the taste of the American public." That's where decorators rush in to fill the vacuum. In a place as amazing as mine, New York City, it is startling to realize what conditions people live with. Money is no object, that's for sure. In this town of extreme wealth, why do so many people live in relative abject poverty? Good Taste is Timeless, and very nearly extinct. As the gay decorator Emory remarks in Boys In the Band, "Oh, Mary. It takes a fairy to make something pretty." And as I remark here on my sofa, "The loving hands at home" school of decorating is not fully accredited. Americans have awful interiors.
@@jackmason4029Parachutes are unbelievably H U G E. Probably one would be enough to supply curtains for a living room.
I liked all of her decor thru the years. The colors and textures of each stage of her life. And ever-changing to represent where she called home. I miss those days and the ladies of a time gone by. When homes represented the 'Ladies of the house' and the mementos of life well lived. I was fortunate to have grown up in such environments and was completely confused when my husband had actually thought he had a say in our homes decor 😅 I offered him the den and gently explained where I was coming from. 😊 Happily married 35+ years now.
Forget the interior design-I love her sense of fashion. Clean lines, subdued colors…so classic!!!
It's so silly to me that "people" carry on so about the incredible Nan Kempner and her "fabulous" taste. Nan rarely looked as turned out as Leigh. Mrs Winston F C Guest, slee zee, was never as chic as Leigh, but her publicist claimed she was a resident of the Hall of Inflame. Slee Zee was a fraud. She was full as a brick. Her last "best friend" was a Broadway Costume Designer who chased fame as much as Slee Zee did. He got arrested for fiddling with a boy. He should have stayed in the costume shop. Slee Zee always seemed to cozy up to weirdo gay men.
I enjoyed this so much😊
Thank you Caroline!
It was very interesting and informative❤ Thank you!
Thank you Viktoria! ❤️⚜️
You are so correct!
I used to see her up and down Madison Avenue and in the stores during the years I lived in New York. She had an understated elegance in terms of her dress. Her interior design was overdone. Whereas the use of choice patterns can make for a cozier room particularly in forbidding urban environments, here often, there was too much fabric. Smothering. The English Country home was the most appealing because of its classic proportions and the surrounding greenery that gave it a sense of serenity. Her last apartment had a charming and welcoming kitchen and for the most part, although not completely, was refreshing by contrast in its simplicity. I like to see more of a focus on the beautiful lines if well curated pieces as opposed to so much stuff. My motto when it comes to decorating has always been "One important Chinese vase." For Lee, too much of a good thing was not enough
If you tour The Breakers in Newport, home of the Astors, they too did the one pattern decor all through the bedrooms. Doors, walls, bedding, all matched. It looked very stylish in person.
Loved her bedroom.
What does an important Chinese vase mean?
Her son Anthony was John Kennedy Jr cousin/best friend. Anthony married Carol who is Carol Radziwill who was on Real Housewives of New York. She is tiny and very stylish like her mother n law. Certain ladies just ooz cool sophistication.
Lee kept the botanical prints everywhere she went, eventually gifting them to Tory Burch.
I'm in LOVE with the dinning room
Good presentation.
Thank you!
Hard to choose. Loved them all❤️
Fantastic ❤
Thank you!
Crazy beautiful.
I never knew she had such Inate taste
Just endless endless luxury
You have one of the most lovely voices I've heard in a long time!
Aw thank you!! That means a great deal!⚜️❤️
Well all were lovely..like the richer color ones best. Thanks so much.
Thank you!
I’m thinking of Carole he daughter-in-law while watching this.
Every room had it's own splendor so hard to choose a favourite. I loved the cool green and white bedroom with its four poster bed. I think I like "four posters" as much as she does. Swan
Anyone,that loves,Botanicals,InteriorDecorations,and Prints.Has definitely good taste.Light,Love and Appreciation to all readers of this segment and Happy Fall 2023
Beautiful motivation! The essence of elegance!
Culture is always welcome as a guide!
The problem with these rooms, is that they look like show rooms... and whilst Lee may have loved them, there doesn't seem to be anything in them that personalizes them in any obvious way. I kept looking for SOMETHING that tells the story of HER... but it's all for show... like a museum, a hotel, a stage set. They are too perfect... and thus lacking in something essential. The houses of very public figures who keep their insides under lock and key, giving nothing away. There's a kind of emptiness that makes me sad. I know that if I lived in one of these houses, I would be tortured by trying to figure out what these women were feeling. You would never know.
The Oriental Living Room is fun... but still a stage set...
Mrs Guest did everything for show, including posing at homes she didn't even live in. It was all for Page Six, by which she lived and breathed. The rest of us read Women's Wear.
@@JackMason-oq8lf who is/was Mrs. GUEST?
Never heard of this lady, but she was beautiful and had a very elegant taste👍 But I didn't think that she and her sister were the world s most famous sisters. I think it were Queen Elizabeth II. and her sister Margret. Both also so beautiful☀️
Queen who?
You NEVER heard of former American First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis or her sister, Lee?!?
Did you grow up under a rock??
@@user-ck8yo8kg4c Hahaha, no. I know about Jaqueline Kennedy Onassis, but I didn't know that she had a sister. 😉 Maybe it's because I 'm from Germany.
Loved Lee Radziwill. - An amazing lady with endless talents, style, charm and absolutely remarkable social graces. - All of her homes were exquisite, but very welcoming and she always made you feel at home. - She lived a full life and shared that life with many others. - May she forever live in peace and surrounded by the unimaginable beauty in His Eternal Kingdom.
Lee got rich because she married Polish Price Stanisław Albrecht Radziwiłł, no word about it!
@@mariachrzan2976 - Yes, you are very right, regarding that fact. - Although a remarkable lady, she could have never maintained the lifestyle she loved, with any Bouvier money, although the large trust that was arranged, by her Mother, (funded by the generosity of Hugh D. Auchincloss) could have carried her a long way, but ultimately, you are correct, it was Prince Radziwiłł that provided the vast majority! - Thank you so much for your reply and for getting me to thinking again.
wonderful!
This is called beauty in a world of modern ugliness!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
absolutly yes❤
I AGREE!
Thank you for a wonderful presentation. Very interesting.
Thank you so much Pamela!! ❤️⚜️
What great style. Most age rather well.
I agree!❤️⚜️
Bedroom is beautiful
That NYC red living room looks like Belle Watling's parlour.❤😂😮
@STEPHANIESTANLEY8041, IT WAS GROSS!
I think taste is personal and not negotiable. Most people will have the first house and a refresh after the kids growup. This is what i call privileged people as they change house and decor like they change shirt…i believe you can make things look sensational when you have the wallet to restart so many times.
Beautiful taste that Lee Radzwill.. Jackie and Lee have same taste with different style.. Lee moved a lot .. Paris apartment and Fifth Avenue was gorgeous ..Thank you for the share...
I appreciate your work on this video. Lee was a fascinating person.
Timeless
Breathtaking
It was very nice to get a glimpse into the world of the rich and famous. I enjoyed it.
Love it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love every single thing pictured here.
Beautiful...
Amazinnnnng
I love her design vibe. I LOVE a RED wall!
All her residences are elegant; I cannot choose.
I' like the apartments in Paris, the best.
I loved her style and if you buy good things they can be used over and over from one home to the next. On a more modest budget I do that.
Gasp! Love it. 😍
Thank you for the beautiful home..
Thank you for the lovely comment!⚜️❤️
@@CulturedElegance You are welcome. Continued success.
Oh my goodness, I love this video. You are the best!! Such a great video
Love it
And she had a pug just like mine!! ❤ I think I loved her first Paris apartment the best!! I really loved all the books she had and how they were placed in her rooms!!
I AM A GERMAN SHEPHERD PERSON, NOT A PUG PERSON.
What beautiful homes
Yes I liked, LOVED, and subbed. All the homes were my favorite 😍
Welcome to the cultured family!!! YES!! so amazing! thank you
Great video, I will revisit as there are some design elements I want to note down and try and incorporate into my home sometime!!!!
Thank you Christopher! I definitely will be doing the same!!⚜️❤️ welcome to the channel
Wow, someone younger than this Boomer who is able to pronounce the letter T! I didn’t think there were any left. You give me hope for our future.
Lee also picked extremely wealthy men, one whom her sister Jackie stole from her Onassis!❤
Great video!
She was beautiful and elegant.
She certainly was! Welcome to the channel!❤️⚜️
I actually like Lee's style, which I would call maximalism. I would adore having the same fabric on the walls, the sofa and chairs, the curtains, etc.- it's very cozy but at the same time very rich looking. Of course that works best in spacious light-filled rooms such as she had. Thank you for the tour!
Holy Colour wheel!💗💖💓💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Right!!
I don't know how anyone can live like that. The crush of fabric and furniture and frou-frou is mind boggling. I know it's all supposed to be "important" but only to Ms. Radziwill & Co. I should think. All those homes and all that décor didn't seem to make her happy for more than the time it took to decorate each space. I do appreciate seeing all these videos however. It reminds me how happy and satisfied I am without all of that.
Lee had extraordinary taste and style. Each property was unique. Love ❤
Thank you!! Indeed!❤️⚜️
Juntar em harmonia tantas coisas, e fazer com que não se atropelem é nada nenos que talento!
Could you please do a video of Babe Paley's homes?
I would love to!!! She had some amazing homes! Great idea
@@CulturedElegance you're truly the best!!
Carole Radziwell has that tiger print sofa @ 4:45. The print is carried over to the stools & dinning room chairs.
“The most famous sisters in the world”? Elizabeth II and Princess Margaret were their contemporaries.
