perception v reality

v. royalty.

just last year the Princes, William and Harry, had a royal portrait unveiled. It was quite taking-

portrait of Nicky Philipps
National Portrait Gallery

this week the two are in Africa- trekking through a number of charities in Lesotho and Bostwana- and yes they'll take in a bit of soccer.

There is something about the portrait; it is as if it is saying, "Well, look at us!" (Said almost as if in surprise, playfully.)

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
