We met Paul in Venice. We were in passing gondolas. I can't imagine a more glorious way of meeting. Paul gave us our first job and has always been an encouraging and inspiring colleague and friend. As for working for him, I paraphrase Oscar Wilde when I say that Paul is always satisfied with the best.

Thank you for this look at Wiseman's work I have been following his design for years though as pointed out in the piece so little of his projects have been published. This was an excellent collection. Just a quick note- Knole (Vita Sackville-West's ancestral home) is very close to the house and garden she and Harold Nicolson created at Sissinghurst which would place it in Kent not Somerset as menione dint he article.

Wiseman is the rare combination of interior AND exterior.

Have pinned most of what you've done, and shared the link on FB.

DEAR FRIENDS-

So many wonderful comments, including this new one from a young Oakland designer--Laura Martin Bovard…

"Hope this finds you well. That piece on Paul Wiseman made my heart sing. Having iconic designers like that gives me so much inspiration and holds a space as a place to grow into. My firm is up to 7 and we are loving it, maybe someday I will take my company as far as Paul. He makes it look so easy even though I know how much time and effort goes into that kind of creation".

Warm regards,
Laura

Dear Friends-

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments.

I note that many of my readers have a great great admiration for Paul, and it is well placed.

I also received a beautiful note from a friend in NEWPORT BEACH..

"Dear Diane, What a wonderful treat your article on Paul Wiseman is today .He is one of my favorite people and a winner in life to be sure. Your storyline and the photos were sheer delight. When I arranged the SF. Trip for Darts Patrons Paul received us at his home. It was magical because he offered us good food to eat, incredible views of the bay and the pleasure of seeing his very special home. You brought the pleasure all back for me. Thank You, Elana Donovan

His Nob Hill apartment is and was the epitome of San Francisco chic...I wish for that apartment, which I first saw on the cover of your book oh so long ago...a treasured book on rainy days and misty afternoons.

I love Vincent Wiseman and Ann Getty, both of whom you've showcased...thank you so much, and yes, Lake Como at twilight was the feeling.
