---There
is some cross-pollination between the
two spots: I bought the Aubusson in
New York from Bush Antiques; the mirror
over the mantel is from Patrick Dunne.
The shells covering my tables are silver
Sheffield ashtrays (an instant collection
from an actuall living relation, my
generous uncle Michael); in New Orleans
they are from the ocean. Down there,
I also have more pairs of Keds than
Manolos, but the daybed in my office
is covered with pillows handpainted
with images of them, annual Christmas
presents from the designer. Still, the
two abodes are mostly separate worlds.
If the Romans are right, then I am something
of a schizophrenic. And definitely the
logistics get confusing, But I dont
care. I cant imagine living in
one world without the other. |
