As far as a favorite item, I would have to say his large painting of the two hunting dogs (Spanish, I think?) that moved from his larger NYC apartment, to his glossy brown studio, and then to Woodson Taulbee's house in Puerto Rico.

His classic slipper chair and his brass bookshelves never date, even if we are in a nickel and Kindle moment.<br />His use of French classic antiques with modern art resonates today, even if the modern used was late 20th c.

One of my favorite Baldwinisms is that he would implore people to let their rooms evolve over time. He told designers not to throw out everything a client had collected. He told clients that if they spent the bulk of their decorating money on an expensive antique, to not then fill in the room with junk just to have it Virginia Country Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17291355605808113627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-39402105735164286952011-10-31T15:20:29.712-04:002011-10-31T15:20:29.712-04:00I don't have a particular specific thing I lik...I don't have a particular specific thing I like about BB; it's the graphic crisp nature of his rooms while still being inviting and warm that appeals to me.

I do have one regret--A couple of years ago I bought a pair of great stools/benches. I knew that I recognized the fabric, but couldn't place it and I asked everyone I knew or who came into the shop that I thought might know--no luck. The day after I got them back from the upholsterer, I found the fabric--of course maryhttp://mjhdesignarts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-735719884954321988.post-15010149960482939872011-10-31T09:52:11.192-04:002011-10-31T09:52:11.192-04:00Oh, my, another chance to get one of these books! ...Oh, my, another chance to get one of these books!
