A Room with a View

Some rooms need a view to feel special. Others are the view. A cabinet thrown open, bowls and bread part of the architecture. A pair of portraits watching the afternoon go by. A screen folded against the light. A chair so beautifully upholstered it forgives the floor for being ordinary. The pieces gathered here belong to rooms of the second kind - the ones you don’t look out from, because there’s too much to look at within.
