It was a sad day @metmuseum when they removed Mrs. Draper’s Birdcage Chandelier’s from the Dorotheum, now the Roman Gallery. We managed to save some from the dumpster. Smaller replicas are offered on CarletonVarney.com @carletonvarney #dorothydraper #met #newyorkcity #theromangallery #birdcagechandelier

“‘The Will to Be Dreary’ is a morose little

“‘The Will to Be Dreary’ is a morose little imp which whispers to us that something which we know would be fun would be too much trouble, will take too much time, is too expensive and probably wouldn’t be as amusing after all as just now you think it would be. Now don’t listen to that voice. Tune it out.”
- Dorothy Draper in her classic book, ‘Entertaining is Fun’

We can all use a bit of Mrs. Draper’s indomitable spirit right now! Get your copy on https://www.carletonvarney.com/collections/books
Pictured is a photo taken at the 2006 solo exhibit of #DorothyDraper’s work at the @museumofcityny the first of its kind for an #interiordesigner. The curved sofas are still part of our collection for @kindelfurniture and a smaller version of the original #Birdcagechandelier is available from @carletonvarney.

“‘It was a combination of scale and color that made incongruous things work,’ Mr. Varney writes in "In the Pink," trying to define Draper's magic formula. ‘The key was the unexpected, that note in the symphony you're not ready for, the one that startles but never clashes.’”

“Since walking into the indomitable Dorothy Drap

“Since walking into the indomitable Dorothy Draper’s East 57th Street offices in the early Sixties, he has left an indelible mark on castles, scores of notables’ homes, the White House, the American Embassy in Tokyo, and resorts such as The Breakers and Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel.” - Women’s Wear Daily
