bit of detritus, sheer design delight chez de Nicolay."
Hyland continues, "From the grandeur of the spaces
de Nicolay curates, the simplest of design inspirations
may be derived, inspiring cottages, condominiums
and castles. The viewer need not be curtailed from
implementing design schemes emulating these interiors
by fear that they must achieve the same levels of
layering and design depth. For in the simplest of design
schemes guided by these spaces there is the potential
for enjoying excellent elements of French design."
What Visite privee embodies, albeit on a noble, even
regal scale, is simply the culture of the keepsake or
heirloom; each generation of a family preserving and
guarding what the last has left behind, not without a
good measure of editing, even winnowing, by younger
generations.
