.

an article by Nicky Haslam in T Magazine caught my eye. It's a brilliant, "billy baldwinesque" read on TASTE,
What is it about TASTE? here

Colette van de Thillart & Nicky Haslam, from their website here

on the SHELF: (there's another book-I know it,) but-at the moment.

Yes! His article is 100% correct - do as Beaton said, avoid ordinary!
Interiors books should always be decades old to avoid trends.

It was terrific, wasn't it? Oh, why can't my house look like Cy Twombley's?

"Throw out and keep throwing out" said Eugenia Errázuriz. Thanks Nicky for the introduction - one desperately needs exactly this inspiration of daring, restraint, and even more, aspects of humour and emphemeral perspective exemplified by your and Colette's interiors . You give confidence to tentative amateurs like me.

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.
