DUCHESS OF DISTINCTION (!)

Remarkably accurate, although I prefer to go by CZARINA OF STYLE.
"Your home will be quite a masculine environment, but nonetheless you want a place that is comfortable, with an air of well-worn maturity: you enjoy the good things in life, and that includes the furniture and furnishings around you. What could look quite conservative is, in fact, seriously self-indulgent - in the very best sense, of course, as every dream home should be."

Who knew?

This is the winner. Others are good, some even great. But this is masterful. When I first saw pics of this apartment online in December I had what can only be described as a religious experince. I saw the proverbial light---many of them, actually. And they were all spectacular. Even the shades were outstanding! Just look how the banding on the yellow lamps compliments the drapes; Either feature is terrific alone. Put together, however, and the room just snaps. Brilliant! And look at the sitting area furniture, stylishly defying the well-founded rule dictating judicious use of leather (especially white leather). I thought it couldn't be done. I was wrong. There is not one thing I would change here. Not one. Indeed, I now know perfection is possible.
Ron- I was an athesit before you....
