Albert Hadley & Harry Heissmann

I am a big Albert Hadley fan. Mainly I think I admire the years of knowing and working his craft. Here, Harry Heissmann, a designer in his firm at the time, carried on the tradition with Mr. Hadley, and thankfully for me and my interests, this home had a lot of venetian plaster finishes. I am sorry that the bedroom shot didn't show more of the wall -- here is Mr. Heissmann's description of the finish from House Beautiful: "The master bedroom walls were covered in the most amazing Venetian plaster in beige, then mottled with iridescent layers of soft blues and green. I call the finish 'fairy wing' for its translucent quality." -- the molto bene wife
