Albert Hadley's Style Eclectic

At the ripe age of 90, Albert Hadley has established a name for himself as "America's preeminent interior designer."  His partnership with esteemed decorator and Manhattan socialite, 'Sister' Parish, and their firm Parish-Hadley Associates, have decked the homes of America's elite throughout the years from Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis to the Astor and Getty families.  His style blends a modern understanding of architectural forms with traditional influences from the past.

The design magazine, House Beautiful, recently published an article featuring one of Hadley's recent commissions.  I love how he is able to take objects that would otherwise be chaotic clutter and fashion them into a warm, inviting and livable space.  Mr. Hadley adheres to a style emanating from a vast education in history and tradition.  I admire his eclectic taste, and his sense of style is a true inspiration.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the article of the New York City apartment.
