An Irresistible Canvas

The Art with Glass doorway informs the Moroccaninspired entryway a showcase for Natasha's intricate ceiling design... 

 From House and Garden:

Inspired by artists who also used their homes as a stage for their work like David Parr, Peggy Angus and Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant’s work at Charleston, her approach is at once scholarly and playful. ‘I enjoy living in a house that is my own creation and is not constrained by any particular style or fashion.’

In the entrance a tricky L-shaped biomorphic frieze cascades overhead, each detail radiant with 24-carat gold leaf. On the sitting room wall hangs a hand-drawn geometric design from a collection Natasha produced while studying at the Prince’s School. One of the pieces, was selected by Prince Charles for the ‘Prince and Patron’ exhibition that marked his 70th birthday. A border painted by Natasha, reminiscent of the Art Nouveau period, wraps the room. (Read more.)

My podcast player seems to have lost the ability to download Tea at Trianon Radio in the last several months. Is there a place where we can still listen?
Daughter of Caesars is one of my favorites!
Links to your Author blog and the podcast from this webpage appear to be broken. I have the same problem on my own website so I understand!

Hello, Miss ES, thanks so much for asking. BlogTalkRadio has gone out of business and taken all my podcasts with it, I am sorry to say. I am long overdue in housekeeping on by blog as many links seem to have died the death. Thanks again for reaching out!

I'm so sorry that it took all your podcasts! So frustrating. But it explains why I was suddenly getting broken downloads. I also missed catching a lot of things that went out of date by just months while I was taking a health break.
