  1. The giant donut with chocolate sprinkles over the mantle needs to go, and the über-fabulous chinoiserie mirror put back there where it belongs. The paper is marvelous, of course, but those PELMETS…to die for.

  2. I owned William Haines’ home in Hollywood for many years. He redid a Spanish colonial as an English townhouse. Subsequent owners have made egregious mistakes, exposing plywood that was always meant to be painted. I visited it in the 70s when the soprano Julia Maginness owned it.

  3. PSS- the pelmets mentioned and the curtains and drapes were done by a Philadelphia supplier. Leonore Annenberg had flowers and food flown in from Sunnylands, their 160 acre estate in Rancho Mirage, wher I live. QEII visited there during our worst rainstorm. Walter was a stutterer and was ridiculed by the London tabloids. When he graciously offered to loan his art collection at Winfield House the scope and quality of his collection changed their opinion.

    • Fascinating! I love these historic tidbits, thank you so much for sharing!! And what a dream to live in William Haines’ former home!!
