HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING
I didn't hear any crowing when I woke up early this morning but a rooster must have welcomed the first day of spring somewhere. I photographed this image from my 19th century Royal Book of Crests.

Mario Buatta ~ THE PRINCE OF CHINTZ
I lived in Far Hills for almost 3 years when I first moved to New Jersey in 1973. Sister Parish and Mario Buatta were designers' names I heard over and over when shopping for home furnishings and antiques. I enjoyed this video preview of his own collections offered by Sotheby's 2020 Auction in NYC after his death. via
Buatta’s Manhattan apartment, AD, 1997.

Read his obituary and loving tribute from Architectural Digest here.
Painted Curved Stairs
Don't you love these painted stairs? The hall wardrobe, in the same green paint, is lovely against the white beadboard walls and unstained, natural wood floors. Image from Tumblr.

He's my favorite visitor and he comes often.
Winter is back but most of the snow has melted,
