And here's one of them, from House & Garden for November, 1917 in the Long Island house of Ormond Smith. The chic Godmother of Interior Decoration, who brought light and trellis to American interiors, is here seen in a moment of overstuffed, overwrought, and over furnished frenzy. And what's with the matchy-matchy going on with the light fixtures, rugs and little table in foreground all borrowing from the elegant trellis frieze. I'd be voting this one off Top Design in the first round.
