The Dunce of Chintz No More
Until recently, I was a ding-dong about interior decorating, thinking it was frivolous, superficial: a silly pursuit for rich socialites, O.C.D. neat freaks obsessed with appearances and superior magazine-design twerps. I was proud to have no idea what chintz, sconces, William Kent tables, Queen Anne chairs, trellises and porticos were. I happily wallowed in hellholes, pigsties, rat traps. All I needed was enough room for a mattress on the floor and a litter box.
Oddly enough, the decorator Mark Hampton loomed large during my privileged youth. Before Mom moved to Belgium in 1991, there was a going-away dinner party at Doubles. Mr. Hampton toasted her generosity and expertise in the art of entertaining. Among other things, he said there were always "fresh towels" in the guest houses. The guy had star power: obvious substance, breeding, manners, erudition, sartorial perfection, wit and charm. But fresh towels? What was that all about? I mean, you take a shower, you dry off with whatever's around, paper towels if need be, end of story, right?
