DESCRIPTION:
From Library Journal The unschooled, instinctive, and established interior designer Sister Parish was looking for assistance with her design firm when she hired Parsons School of Design-trained Albert Hadley. With so few books documenting individual interior designers and their work, interior design schools and large collections will find this a valuable work.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. That began the Parish-Hadley style, combining Parish's "cabbage rose and Aubusson" with Hadley's "modern, pared-down approach." Comprised of personal reminiscences from the principals and a history of the firm, this well-illustrated work presents an overview of their work together as well as Parish's alone, most publicly her redecoration of the White House for the Kennedys, and shows the timelessness and continuity of their design style that is the trademark of their association.
Using the homes of famous clients, this book provides a room-by-room exploration of Parish Hadley design.. From the Kennedy White House to homes for the Astors, Rockefellers, de la Rentas and Gettys, the American firm Parish Hadley has set a standard for interior design over the last 60 years
"My Design Hero's. Great Read!" according to Colleendub. I like this book but not as much as the other Parish Hadley Books i have purchased. The narrative is what I like best about this book, vs, the photos. Great history on both Sister Parish and Albert Hadley and how the came together. Both were amazing in very unique ways which is why there legacies endure today.. Interesting with great pix Rachaelaria This book is interesting and not as dry as many design books. The pictures are great (even though the style of picture taking is a little out dated). I love the chapter about the Kennedy White House!. dennis l kraber said Four Stars. A real classic look at how their era of design has so influenced our present era of design.
