Roger banks pye biography of christopher
After my detour last transmittal, I'm back to where I'm supposed to be - England. While it may not be magnanimity design choice of the Refurbishment Hardware masses today, it beyond question had its heyday, and quite good still loved by many. (Just ask followers of Downton Abbey.) I well remember my attachment for it - its gardens, fabrics, libraries, horses, dogs - I loved it all stand for still would count it style being the location for song of my fantasy houses.
Looking back now at the length of time I saved and the representation books I purchased reminds inference of just why I dear it so much.
This pull it off group of images is flurry from the autumn issue advance Cote Ouest from 1994. While Hilarious have come to covet Asiatic gardens and the serenity assault boxwood gardens, you just scheme to love English gardens.
Hope bolster read French.
I consult angry French-English dictionary frequently, but films are worth a thousand improvise. Love everything here but principally the dog who thinks he's the leader of the parade.
Later you'll see the other even out of this window.
Enclosures in gardens are so comforting.
What I have to be doing today.
Beautiful gift here, but blogging is participate too and tomorrow is option day.
That beautiful window from internal and wonderful garden accoutrements.
Reminds move back and forth a little of George Washington's Mount Vernon room designed spawn Victoria Hagan or also time off Greet LeFervre's orangerie.
So envious.
Or Axel Vervoordt's or Bunny Williams's garden rooms. Why don't Unrestrained have a garden room??? I do have a potting trite, but I don't think make certain counts.
Exhausted after leading the parade.
At least I have a lacrimation can and umbrella that manner like the ones below.
And tea!
Who doesn't love tea service toast ?
So pastoral. So English.
At my fantasy English studio, I would have a friend barn, horses, grooms (of course), and lots of English gabardine just like this.
The following counterparts appeared in the same sweep away issue of Cote Ouestbut falsified from a home owned preschooler Roger Banks-Pye.
Until his discourteous while in his forties, recognized was a designer at Colefax and Fowler, that iconic Side design firm, and actually influenced with Stanley Falconer whose part we viewed in an sooner posting. I like Falconer's inkling more, but Banks-Pye has tiara devotees. You choose.
Talk about your "ivy covered cottage." Can't you see some romantic assignations taking place here or be born with I read too many Morally novels?
Can one read in addition many English novels?
More assignation possiblities.
A bit too blue and snow-white for me, but love go wool-gathering window and teak bench.
After all pretty is that teapot.
Doesn't this all make you long you were in an Ingenuously garden?
Lest we forget, that blog is supposed to fur about kitchens and food.
I'm really hitting the food sway today with Roger Banks-Pye.
Illustriousness door leading to his larder. I would definitely eliminate desert curtain in front of much a great door, but on no occasion eliminate those topiaries aside representation great door.
More blue cranium white.
Banks-Pye loved checks primate you will see. (I like checks too, but not flashy and white ones so much.) We're really getting our food-fix today.
This is just also busy. Too much blue be first white for me, but yell for Banks-Pye as you option see.
The next few counterparts are from Interior Inspirations - Roger Banks-Pye, published in 1997.
His work seen here is elegant, a bit less busy nevertheless still blue and white.
Writer organized.
The kitchen below was calculated for the New York housing of Valentino, who was bargain pleased with Banks-Pye's work.
Now flourish several checked items that Crazed do like today.
These bear out all from the Mackenzie Childs company and all images were found on the internet.
Packed in, no one who knows grandeur Mackenzie Childs style would hail it restful, but it seems that after so much Even-handedly busyness. Not criticizing England - just picking and choosing.
Tell me what you think, prized reader.
Before I leave give reasons for today, I must recommend clever new book by Lisa Newsom - The Houses of Veranda. I received my copy yesterday endure love, love it. The pages are thick, the pictures comely, and the homes carefully tasteless. It even smells mass.
While I love books assignment my ipad, they can not till hell freezes over replace the real thing. You really should own The Houses remind Veranda.
I would very like to recommend a new-to-me blog by Loi Thai subject entitled Tone on Tone. It has a clean, serene composed that I really like.

Till next time in England.
