Great stories of the "greats" of interior design (including themselves). So much fun to watch, listen to, learn from. I can now justify my fondness for lamps, chairs and so many objets.

  • @bostonviewer5430
    @bostonviewer5430 Před měsícem +2

    I freely admit to loving lamps with great shades crowned with a perfect finial. I'm lucky I inherited and was able to collect wonderful lamps for my home. Polished marble, Chinese and Japanese porcelain, alabaster, American 1940s pottery and a great bronze 3 arm floor lamp from the 1920s. Overhead light is fine but lamps add something more subtle that doesn't come from a ceiling fixture.
    Spitzmiller lamps are way expensive but with a careful eye there are bargains to be had with older lamps; some re-wiring and a new shade and you have a new treasure. I've re-wired many lamps. I'm glad he's brought lamps back when they seemed to be fading from view.

Albert Hadley Bunny Williams Sister Parish Mario Buatto the Prince of Chintz Nancy Lancaster (yellow 😊 my favorite color ) Colfax & Fowler. Did my heart good to hear those great legendary names.
