Albert Hadley: the 50th Finest Room
November 2, 2010
There has been much notice of Albert Hadley's New York sitting room which is the last of the 50 featured rooms in my upcoming book, "The Finest Rooms in America." Pilar Valadas mentioned it first in her post for T Magazine/New York Times blog.
She states, "while many of the rooms are fairly grand in scale and furnishings, it is one of the smallest that that makes your heart beat faster: Albert Hadley's Manhattan intimate sitting room, an object lesson in understated chic, which Jayne rightly saves for last."
And then Katie Armour in her entertaining blog, responded after seeing the Times blog:
"This room by Albert Hadley... is my all-time favorite. I just adore the bold blue canvas, the wallpaper, the vignette on the table and well, all of it. Imagine my excitement when I spotted the never before seen (by me at least!) image [in the T-blog] after all these years, another little glimpse of my favorite room! Do you see how it's changed? The love affair continues..."
I was gladdened to see the well deserved interest. And so, here I offer for everyone's enjoyment some other views of Albert's sitting room that were not included.

Great alticre about a marvelous movie. Standing in front of that huge microphone surely would have made me ill at ease. Colin Firth sure did do his homework learning to portray a stutterer. The director incorporated audience responses at just the right time to show what people who stutter are faced with every day. They should have partnered with The Stuttering Foundation to get ?Tips for talking with someone who stutters? as handouts to every movie goer!

This is yet another example of a master's work. Very few could accomplish what Mr. Hadley has accomplished in this very ship-shape and organized space. No matter what happens to the profession of interior design Mr. Hadley will have a prominent place in history.

This is a brilliant example of how the strict editing of furnishings, along with some minor but critical architectural improvements, can make an undistinguished space sublime. This is just one of the lessons that earned Albert Hadley the honor of Dean of Decorators.

It is so amazing because none of the elements are expensive -- it is just simple details done put together with a sharp eye.
