Hadley's Colonial Ruralism...

I.

Oh Albert — let me count the ways you thrill me.

The color of that door, that eagle, those canes;

where to begin?

II.

The seat and front of this chair enjoy new upholstery—

while the back retains its 40-year-old print.
III.
The eagle lands again, watching over
a fresh screened porch.

IV.

I love the seats on those chairs — so very

Grey Gardens. The glass-topped table

has been planted with moss. Does anyone

else feel a weekend project coming on?

V.

An antique American Bed and a Regency bench

make a very lovely couple.

VI.

Albert Hadley decorated this client's last home

more than 40 year's ago. Working together again

on this home, they opted to keep the chintz fabric

on this settee that Mr. Hadley chose for it decades

ago. The painted floor keeps things feeling

current and fresh. For more of this 1820's

New Jersey home, visit House Beautiful.
