Overview of a Lady’s Study
Imagine an elegant woman — Babe Paley or Grace Kelly — as the lady of the house. She would have a personal study as livable, elegant, and original as she herself was. This is the inspiration for a Lady’s Study. Wearing comfortable Valentino palazzo pants, she sits at her Karl Springer desk to write personal notes to friends, surrounded by contemporary art, a mix of antiques and chic vintage pieces, and extraordinarily unusual and fine fabrics. — Jan Showers Interior Design
