How we do get caught up in words, in pictures-sometimes a picture is worth-

Silence.

Silence will do in this case. Stunned.

In a loud world like ours a moment of silent appreciation is a gift.

that is one fantastic photograph... I wonder what the background is, a prop perhaps, or is it the side of a building?

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.
