Yes, yes, YES!!! People may be tired of my singing this song, but I won't stop until the vast greigeness has disappeared from the earth. Thank you, Andrea, a million times. You are 100% right, and wow, every interior image you chose is wonderful. Keep spreading the word! Down with banality. Down with sterility. Down with bleached out blandness. And up with comfort and luxe. Hooray!
As a blogger, I wondered to myself many many times, what type of elixir had been spoon fed to so many. The over use of grey and white had me cursing under my breath continuously. Now that sanity is going to be restored in the decorating world, I feel I need a long vacation. Being the lone lover of all floral was exhausting.
I always thought there is nothing more depressing than a grey day…….why would you bring that into your home?
There is a generation of souless homes crying out for warmth and cheer.
I have always leaned toward trditional decor. While livng in Europe I was able to see what real British traditional decor was.
I fell in love. Now my home reflects not only my love of British decor but French and Irish as well.
Thank you VOGUE! It was hoe I learned to decorate years ago and have had to stifle that urge for check or chintz but now it will be back! xo K

Love this…thanks for posting!!
I agree! Except the many doodads?
I've never abandoned traditional décor- I love the floral patterns, the lush colors and sheer excess-I just decorate to make me( and my family) feel happy..
Finally, my house is back in style!!! Have a great weekend, Andrea!! xoxo
Love it! Thanks, Andrea….
Yay! We are seriously vindicated!
As old and dated any of those rooms may be, to me they were ALL lovely to look at! Thanks for the affirmation! Susan
Traditional, patterns, collectibles, and color = pretty, warm, comfortable, and inviting.
Your post is WAY better than Vogue's! I love the images you chose.
It never went out in my home. Mine is more a cross between Charles Faudree and Mario Buatta
Kris in Seattle
I know you! And it is true! Me too!! Never out of fashion! Never.
You and Vogue are psychically linked! Beautiful post!
Classics are forever!
Completely correct! All wonderful! My faves are Leta Austin Foster, Pretty and Proper; and Mario, of course! They are brilliant beyond!!!
Pretty will always be pretty! xo love this post!

There is nothing that causes my heart to soars that is of the material earth than a
beautiful traditional home.
