Let's talk about Charlotte Moss again.
I don't love traditional floral print wallpaper. I don't love rooms where the wallpaper and the fabric are the same print. It's just too much. And yet, I love Charlotte Moss because she's very sure of herself and has a specific point of view. And she has that cool, over-40 hair chic hair... hair that says, "I get an invitation to the ball at the Costume Institute and you don't." Philanthropist, rich-bitch, power hair. She's just so polished and cool. 
And, um, those are BOUND VOLUMES of Vogue magazines. BOUND. Ri-fucking-diculous. When I start having back issues of Elle Decor and House & Garden bound in leather, that is the day I have truly made it, my friends.

Actually , I like it even if it is not what I would prefer today .
I like it because for me it looks like french and I am french ....
When we remodeling typical provencal Hotels that's what we recommend.
I love your blog ..it is a source of inspiration

Love the wall of photos!!
Melanie - I see from your blogger info that you own an antiques shop. I am so jealous! Do you have a blog with photos that you can share? I would love to see it.
I actually love that you and Joni love Charlotte Moss's style. If we all like austere modern, we'd be in trouble.
I find that as I get older I like more traditional looks. It's funny how a beautiful bergere chair reappears in design from every decade. Some things never get old.
Great photographs, I read about her at Style Court, C.Moss also has some less expensive notebooks, for the youger set...
nice post Lainey, love the candle too!
Her townhome in NYC is a vision to be seen, even if it does not reflect your designimg taste. I post a review after a recent visit to NYC.

Bound Vogue! Who thinks of these things?!? I guess someone must. And that someone is the same someone who would get invited to balls I would imagine.
This blog piece is genius, and I agree with every word of it. And I would DIE for bound Elle Decors in my house!
