Henredon Acquisitions Dining Room. I usually don't like a set, but I love this!
I can't remember who this is. He does this beautiful hand-painted chinoiserie. These are my dining room walls.
Frank and Mia, photograph by Harry Benson, Truman Capote's Black and White Ball, NYC, 1966.
House Beautiful, October 2008. I'm loving the marble subway tile. But I'm changing out the art above the stove to black and white photography and those obelisks or whatever they are? They're gone now. So is the folk-art doll on the counter. And there's an enormous carved carrera marble fireplace behind the table.
My Living Room, aka The Janklow Pad, NYC, from Vogue.
Julian Schnabel, La Blusa Rosa.
My husband, George.
This is where George and I hang and watch movies and read. Yes, it's faux fur but the Picasso is original. We have a huge built-in bookcase so we can have all our favorite reads at arm's reach. Like this:
Actually, this is just for the pix because it's in German or something. But gorge photos of Steve McQueen, Grace Kelly and Liz Taylor.
I love Truman Capote. Such pathos.

And our bathroom. Where George brushes his pearly whites.Hope you enjoyed the tour. xo
And while this isn't exactly the climate to be talking about dream houses (although dreaming is free!), tell me about your dream house. Does your current house bear any resemblance?

Love your upgrades to the House Beautiful kitchen, and the Janklow living room? Completely perfect.
When will you be accepting house guests?
Thanks, Glam. Come by anytime. :-)
Raina, I have your room ready. We can toast to our new president (fingers crossed). BTW, do you vote by absentee ballot?
Yes, HG, it's the same ballot overseas military personnel use. And it's a helluva process, let me tell you.
The hand-painted chinoiserie walls are just amazing!! Wow!
My dream house bears no resemblance at all to our current residence. Our condo has an open floor plan and very traditional finishes.
The dream house is far more modern, more open, and with much more interesting surfaces. It's spacious, but not freakishly large. Downsizing into the current place has taught me we really can be happy without an excess of square footage.
Hi. You are the winner of my drawing for the Canadian House and Home magazine! Thanks for entering. You can email me your mailing address at mynottinghill (at) gmail.com. Love the kitchen in this post! Michele
Ooooh. Nice dream home!
Can I have my shoes back now?
Found you from Notting Hill...Congrats on the mag!
Oh, boy. Free stuff. Thanks Notting Hill! Love your blog.
Thanks for visiting Linda at Lime - sorry, my puppy, Stella, has a shoe fetish and she dragged one of your shoes to the sofa in the family room...it might be a little slobbered on.
plesae tell me you removed that swag in your kitchen.
What's that saying, that we always have a twin lurking-well that is my twin home. Everything except for the Swag in the kitchen and the hall fixture and the view. Everything else is my twin home.
BB8 - That's so funny. I kept looking at that picture and thinking that I would definitely need to replace it with maybe plantation shutters but I didn't want to be so nitpicky. Glad somebody called me out on it. :-)
Oh, PVE, that's nice to hear. We will have to share George. If you are Mormon, that will help - we can be a really stylish polygamist cult. Oh, except I'm not Mormon. And neither is George. But you get the drift.
You can have George, I'll just settle for that dream house.
Deal *wink*
Well written article.
Thanks for sharing valuable information on how to decorate the house using Henredon furniture.
