Hello Diane!

Sorry my comment was lost. I was saying Orlando's rooms are so airy and serene. And his use of colour is so nuanced and precise. I always notice and delight in those exquisitely subtle and indescribable colours too. He is a master of colour where some might say that he uses little. That is such an art!

And I noted that I've seen the book before but did not realize you wrote it. You are so accomplished Diane and what an interesting person to write about. I will add this book to my birthday wish list!!

Best wishes and hope you are well. Xo Terri

I read religiously all your posts, seldom comment lately but this article relates to one of my favorite books and adds so much to what I learned from it.
Thanks,

Dear Friends-

Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate every word.

I also received the following charming note from Orlando, in a taxi, in New York City:

Diane - THANK YOU--
It looks beyond me. I am afraid to read it and believe it. Very well layout, composed, whatever is called in this new age.
Immensely grateful.
Best, Orlando

One of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen. LOVE his use of white and pale color in walls and upholstery and vivid color in his art.

A great piece about a great designer.

I adore his style of modern and well balanced groupings. I am also admiring those leopard print library chairs that I have already pinned them! Thank you for a lovely post about another talent. Best regards, Naomi

WOW,Thank you!
I feel like I had a full college course in interior design all in one post!
contrast in textures, light creating mood, importance of simplicity coupled with interesting accessories, color can be subtle.
His result is such a calm, restfull home...with splashes of sensual surroundings. He created enough space to actually see and feel the furnishings. I agree, we often fill so much, we never see our special finds. We can't see the trees for the forest.

Please thank him!
