Eleanor Brown

I was thumbing through art books and ran across this watercolor

of a room designed by Eleanor Brown in Designers on Designers.

I just love this room, I can tell its old, but its timeless too.

Eleanor Brown (1891-1991) was a designer who worked with

traditional furnishings and added a modern twist...

Vivid colors and prints hold their own with the classics.

 

 Well, it didn't always work, but even here, there is a bit more

warmth and liveliness than the typical wooden library.

White rooms with rich features and splashes of jello colors.

Magic!
