| Norman Parkinson |
This photo is by famed fashion photographer Norman Parkinson of French model Katherine Pastrie in a Bernard Devaux hat, circa 1960, in Queen magazine. I love everything about this. I collect vintage and antique hats and have a wonderful collection of Schiaparelli, Christian Dior, Bes-Ben, and many others. They really are works of art.
But I digress. I have really gotten into decorating my home with framed photographs. I am finding more interior designers are combining chinoiserie and photographs by iconic photographers. It's a perfect juxtaposition and can add whatever look you are going for - glamorous, whimsical, sophisticated, playful, modern, or vintage.
I especially recommend looking at Slim Aarons and Gray Malin, two of my favorites. Here is some inspiration.

A new original piece of art I had framed by
Framebridge is being delivered today and my hanging guy will be over on Monday to hang a Slim Aarons, the Louise Dahl-Wolfe, and a few other pieces. Pictures coming soon.
Wow! The last picture of CCC looks really great with the picture hung there. It's all come together so nicely, hasn't it? What a thrilling room to be in/walk through.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I am so happy here and love my home.
DeleteOMGGGG……you are killing me with these amazing ideas!! Waiting on my Louise Dahl Wolfe art to arrive any day now! I also used Framebridge so feel like I have your stamp of approval!
ReplyDeleteI hope you love it! I have used Framebridge for four projects and have been very happy.
DeleteScrolling through, I arrive at the last image and think to myself, "That's lovely, which designer is this?" And see it's CCC with the sweet flamingos! Wonderful, Beth, just wonderful. It presents such a beautiful perspective on your space.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It has been a labor of love and I am very happy.
DeleteYour home is wonderful. I really enjoy seeing what you have done with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I am so happy here.
DeleteI absolutely love that picture of Katherine. She really does look like a "pastry", doesn't she?
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful.
DeleteBeth, do you mind sharing your sources for your photography art? I did a search for the Katherine Pastrie photograph, but came up empty handed. Maybe it's just not a photo that is currently available anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI have not looked for it. I will let you know if I find it.
