The End

(Thanks to "Ferus" by Gagosian Gallery and Rizzoli)

need a decorator? rich? like modern? is it 1980? this is who you would hire....

Ward Bennett

and

a

goat.

I've always loved anything

by

Ward. 

This just confirms my feelings.

Joe D'Urso

Joe is still around and doing great interiors.

This is as close to

indoor/outdoor

living as we

East Coasters will ever really get.

Juan Montoya

We see Juan all the time,

charming man.

I wonder what that box at the end of the bed is for?

Juan?

Who are these guys?

Tessa Kennedy and Michael Sumner

Never heard of them... 

but would certainly like to!

Their interiors are great!

Love this.

Maybe it's just the 20 foot ceilings....

Again, 

who?

Why it's Robert Bray and Michael Schaible

Good work fellers.

Ditto.

I'm a little afraid to ask what happened to

a lot of these guys.

It has been 30 years,

and it was the 80s....

Sir John Dickinson

This interior is so calm and nice.

Carla Venosta

?

Not bad.

Too bad for the unfortunate view.

Tuscany is so ugly that time of year....

Nice lamps though.

Jay Steffy

Get ready....

Jay!

Who da thunk it of you?

All I have to say is WoW!

Gae Aulenti

So you thought all she did was famous lamps?

Wrong.

This is my personal favorite.

I'm putting moving into a 14th century

Italian monastery on my list of things

to do after seeing this shot.

Eric "Mr. Cardigan" Jacobson

Good job Eric.

What is that polka dot painting?

Antony Redmile

Scary....

Even scarier...

but I like it....

(Thanks to Erica Brown for her book "Interior View - Design at Its Best".)

great interiors of the 20th century: all farrah all the time

I was looking through some old

Nest Magazines

and 

came across 

a 

truly

amazing interior

by

Raymond Donahue.

Since he was 11,

Raymond has had a thing for Farrah Fawcett.

Just a small interest....

He has everything Farrah....

This is

Raymond's

tattoo

of the bar code 

from 

"Farrah Shampoo"

by 

Faberge.

This is Ray

in his pre-tattoo

and shaved head days.

This is where one of the greatest 20th century interiors

(according to MONDOBLOGO)

resides,

somewhere in New Jersey.

He keeps the 

good stuff

behind 

lock and key.

Origins of a tattoo.

This is all done so well.

Seriously.

Poor Kate.

Wonder what that

druggie is up to theses days?

She was always my favorite.

Sorry Raymond.

Lots of hair,

Big Hair.

Big Hair and Big Mugs.

More Hair.

Charlie's Angels

Remember Bosley?

Oh Farrah....

R.I.P.

And Raymond,

thanks for 

one 

AMAZING 

space.

(Also, thanks to Nest and Jason Schmidt for the pictures.)
