Fantastic post! It is about the details which are expertly done. Love every single one of them. As a porcelain addict I am always happy to see fine pieces displayed prominently. “Pretty” rooms are always a delight. Wish I was in one of them!
Beautiful! Traditional and time won’t age it. It’s classic. Houses and wardrobes that are classics have always stand the test of time. Thank you for sharing.
Great post Andrea! I put Leta right up there with Sister and Mario- both of whom were inspired by John Fowler as well. Leta’s work also reminds me of the late Georgina Fairholme. Truly patrician and classic with a capital C.
Having been in an apartment she (Leta) decorated in Manhattan, I can tell you that her sense of scale, proportion, and color is unsurpassed. Her attention to detail is beyond belief, and always done correctly without being over done. Everything speaks of quality and good housekeeping, so immaculate!
Absolutely wonderful! Leta is Queen of the Decorators. There is no one like her, and every room is a masterpiece. It’s all so beautiful and inviting. If one looks at a room photo and wants to be there in person to enjoy it, then it is a success. Pretty reigns in her interiors, and it’s all very special. I can’t decide which room I like best, but that sunroom! Ooh la la. I’ve such a penchant for treillage. Thank you, Leta, for sharing the details, and Andrea, for introducing us to Leta’s work. I have had the book for a while, and love it.
I love fabric and always pay close attention to patterns . I adore chintz but other fabrics aren’t far behind. The worst word in my dictionary is
“DISCONTINUED “ for fabric. That being said the newer fabrics out just don’t do it for me. I hope the chintz tide returns.
I’m almost 30 and just learning about all these legendary designers. Leta Austin Foster was on my list. I had yet to dig in so thanks for delivering on a silver platter!
I have worked with Leta many times and many places. She has a very interesting philosophy of design which creates captivating spaces.
It has always been a pleasure to work with a genius.
every room was lovely…such fabulous detail!!
I think Leta is one of the best in the business. And what a true Palm Beach Icon…and what a character!

Leta is a decorator who really knows her stuff!

Loved the chests and art work. No jarring, ugly modern stuff.
Thank you for sharing these photos!!! Each room is stunning.
Love, love, love! Everything and every detail! Thank you for sharing!
