Just because you are a decorator in Architectural Digest...

David Collins is quite an established name in the decorating world.

He has the usual coterie of billionaires and 
five star hotels that form his clientele.  

He has decorated some of my favourite London spots.

The Connaught Hotel Bar is relaxing whilst being elegant. 

Great place for a drink.

The Wolseley, London's best all day eatery.  

Consistently good food and great atmosphere.

Blue Bar at the Berkeley Hotel - one of the original bars in London that one could go to for a drink without having to go to the pub.

Nate Berkus through the AD Keyhole

I looked at this photo a few months ago in the Architectural Digest featuring Nate Berkus' home.

There was something that made me stop but I couldn't articulate or figure out what made me pause.

I kept a copy of the story as I am inclined to do and had another look and figured out what was bothering me. 

This next picture is what I call Pseudo OCD / Neat Freak

  Someone that organized would never put shoes inside past the hallway and into the inner sanctum of the home.  

All that dog poo and gum on the bottom of shoes. 

You put everything away but you hang your jacket on the chair?

 Come on Natey. 

You have gone through all that trouble 
so just put away your bag as well. 

This is stunning don't get me wrong but the vibe is really posh, expensive therapist who conducts group therapy sessions.  

Deliberate, slightly forced, calculated casual, clinical chic.
