    Ohmygosh!!!!! You have just made a woman in the northern reaches of Norway 🇳🇴 very happy today!!! I used to live in NYC as an art student when John first opened his shop. That is where I’d go to fuel up my creative energies and linger in a space that could as likely have been inside one of my own late night dreams.

    Forgive me for saying this........but usually interior designers have debatable art on their walls.......either too easy and pleasing to look at( without substance) , or too pretentious. HERE I saw magnificent art and portraits hanging everywhere!!!
    Please let him know that I am a fan........and available!!!
    And Susanna you are becoming more and more elegant........ you will age like a queen one day!!

    The apartment is a delight. As are his curiosities and collections! Full of imagination and surprise! But with a huge recognition and appreciation for all things old and even decayed. And real art! I can’t bear to hear interior designers describe a cheap framed print from Ikea as artwork. It’s not and never will be. It may look great on the wall but to call it art is a misnomer. The word art in this context should be reserved for something original, it doesn’t even have to be beautiful or expensive. But there’s a massive difference between an original item which has been created and lovingly displayed, and an item which has been mass produced in it’s thousands and hung on a wall. It has every right to be there but don’t call it art work. It’s not.

I love the way you are so diplomatic and ignore any abrasive or rude comments! You have to! I am on a mission to try and get your North American hosts, and subscribers to call their yards, gardens! To call a beautiful garden a yard, is so misleading, inappropriate and doesn’t do justice to the glories of a lot of the gardens you show us.
