Oh my dear Diane, how come I've never seen this post? Reading your writing, Tim's inspiration and looking at his decor - is like smelling a classy scent from Houbigant - is 100% refinement to the core. His French interiors took my breath away. If Nancy Mitford or Diana Cooper was still alive, I think she would hire him to do her house decor, don't you?

Dear Elizabeth-
Welcome and I'm so pleased to hear from you.
Quoting Emerson is such a fantastic inspiration.
Thank you so much, DIANE

Dear Diane,

I've just come across your site and thoroughly enjoyed your reviews of
art and artists.

As said by Ralph Waldo Emerson..
When you come into a room, I think I will study how to make
Humanity beautiful to you....

Looking forward to seeing more.

Best,
Elizabeth

HI DEAR FRIENDS--
Greet (new friend, Dear Penny, Little Augury, Gaj, Trouvais (love your blog), Suniga, and Kit-

Thanks so much for wonderful comments.
Timothy's rooms: they photograph well, and they are beautiful rooms to spend time in.
He has an art of making rooms in France feel 'French' but not in the cliche way. They feel traditional but fresh. Best of all, he seems to be able to capture light.
Penny: no, absolutely no freebies! I think they all go to the beauty bloggers!
In any case, I always love to know about designers' favorite paints and fabrics. For other designers this often confirms a selection (F&B colors for example) and for others it offers great inspiration. Designers spend years testing and retesting fabrics and paints and wallcoverings and I love to see their recommendations.
cheers to all, DIANE

Dear Diane,
I am so pleased to have discovered your blog! I found you through Trish from Trouvais! And when I clicked on your blog the first thing I saw was this post about Timothy Corrigan! He is one of my favourite designers! Thank you so much for this stunning interview with him!

Dianne, nice coverage as usual! One note regarding the Haussman edifice, this could not be 18th century, as Haussman did not invent the grande boulevardes of Paris until late 19th century, unless this residence exists from the 18th century but is surrounded in a Hausman apartment block, anything is possible! I am currently in Buenos Aires for the autumn, the French architecture here in Recoleta deserves your impeccable eye and commentary. Any chance of that in near future?

Hi Diane. Thanks for big picture on his past, influences, his vision... and nuts and bolts of Farrow and Ball paint and book recommendations. Will have to see if I can track down "Les Pavilions". Will he be in any books coming out soon? Trish

I am speechless at this interview with Tim Corrigan. What an accomplished, talented and well-spoken designer. The description of that chateau he saw in 1999 was incredible, I would love to see photos. Thanks Diane for the enjoyment you do bring to us here on your blog!

Another fascinating and educational post!

I love every single thing Tim does; and agree with his philosophy of our business!
Thank you, Diane..

HA!!
The government totally misses Madoff right under their nose; and now they're going after bloggers? It makes no sense.

Another wonderful profile Diane! I was so interested to read about Mr. Corrigan and how his design relates to that of friend Vicente Wolf. I agree with his comments about how to bring an interior to life by mixing styles and periods. AND I was happy to learn about his favorite fabric, since I am looking for a linen for slipcovers this very moment! Thanks again.
