认识姐妹教区:美国乡村风格的母亲
你可以假设一个名叫姐姐姐妹的人在修道院的墙壁中过着谦卑的生活 – 而你并不孤单。当杰奎琳·肯尼迪(Jacqueline Kennedy)委托室内设计的贵妇人帮助装饰1600宾夕法尼亚大道时,一家不知情的报纸刊登了标题,“肯尼迪挑选尼姑来装饰白宫。”但是,Parish姐妹在一个完全不同的方面进行了崇拜。美学。她独一无二地提升了奢华与舒适,现代感和怀旧情怀,并迎来了所谓的美国乡村风格.
她出生于1910年,她的出生证明是多萝西·梅·金尼特(Dorothy May Kinnicutt),但她三岁的哥哥给她的姐姐起了个绰号。她的父亲是一位繁荣的股票经纪人,她的母亲是“独立宣言”的一位签名者的后代 – 谦虚他们不是。他们在新泽西州,曼哈顿,缅因州和巴黎拥有家园,在那里,Parish在十几岁时就开始上流社会。不久之后,她遇到了一位哈佛大学男子和崭露头角的股票经纪人亨利·帕里什(Henry Parish),并娶了他们的国家.
在国外期间,Parish爱上了她在法国看到的彩绘家具,并采用了这种技术。她把旧木桌和椅子涂成白色,地板上涂上鲜红色和蓝色的色调。她喜欢针尖地毯,拼布棉被,软垫沙发,印花棉布和植物和狗的画作。她创造了一种舒适而时尚的居住感觉,是第一个混合搭配来自不同时代和价位的作品,开创了许多今天坚持的高低外观。并且,她有一个篮子的东西 – 它已成为当下的首选储存容器.
Parish的朋友注意到她有能力创造这样迷人的空间,并开始寻求装饰建议。她高兴地承担责任,但在丈夫和父亲在1929年的股市崩盘中遭受重大损失后,她决定更进一步,开启自己的“预算装修”业务。她承认自己“从未打开窗户或为自己倒一杯水”,但她在镇上租了一个14×14英尺的办公室,并在前门打了一个“亨利教区2号室内夫人”标志。.
Parish将自己推销为可以拿走你已经拥有的家具并重新安排它的人,让你的家更加舒适和吸引人。这个想法现在看起来很平常,但当时是完全创新的,而且现在突然出现的现金社交网站所需的一切都在寻找。一些Parish的家庭成员不赞成一个女人在工作,更不用说经营自己的事业了,但Parish似乎并不介意,社会上层也没有。在她辉煌的职业生涯中,她最终为Vanderbilts,Whitneys和Mellons工作,仅举几例.
当约翰是参议员时,教区甚至装饰了肯尼迪的乔治城家,并被杰基邀请到白宫家庭宿舍。虽然Parish的影响力仍然可以在总统官邸看到,特别是在黄色椭圆形房间(她的墙壁上画着他们的同名颜色),但由于她和Jackie之间出现了紧张关系,这项工作很短暂。有人说Parish因告诉年轻的Caroline从沙发上脱脚而被解雇,而另一些人说Parish自愿离开,因为Jackie认为她应该免费工作.
无论情况如何,堕落对Parish的职业生涯没有负面影响 – 实际上它可能扩大了她的吸引力。正如他们所说,任何媒体都是好消息。她变得如此忙碌,她聘请艾伯特哈德利来帮助建筑方面的事情,并最终使他成为标志性的设计公司Parish-Hadley的合作伙伴。该公司影响了许多美国室内设计,并培养了广泛的设计影响力,包括其他女设计师,Mariette Himes Gomez和Bunny Williams。教区于1994年去世,但她的遗产继续存在,以及我们今天仍然垂涎的美国乡村风格的舒适和奢华。如果你曾经在沙发背面铺上拼布被子,你可以感谢Sister Parish.

You can imagine a person named Sister living a humble life within the walls of a monastery – and you are not alone. When Jacqueline Kennedy commissioned an interior designer to help decorate 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, an unknowing newspaper ran the headline, “Kennedy Picks Nun to Decorate White House.” But the Parish sisters worshipped in a completely different aspect. Aesthetics. She uniquely elevated luxury and comfort, modernity and nostalgia, and ushered in what is known as the American country style.
She was born in 1910, her birth certificate reading Dorothy May Kinnicutt, but her three-year-old brother gave her the nickname Sister. Her father was a prosperous stockbroker, and her mother was a descendant of a signer of the Declaration of Independence – humble they were not. They had homes in New Jersey, Manhattan, Maine, and Paris, where Parish began mingling with high society in her teens. Soon after, she met a Harvard man and up-and-coming stockbroker Henry Parish, and married into their country.
While abroad, Parish fell in love with the painted furniture she saw in France and adopted the technique. She painted old wooden tables and chairs white, and the floors in shades of bright red and blue. She loved needlepoint rugs, patchwork quilts, cushioned sofas, printed cotton fabrics, and paintings of plants and dogs. She created a comfortable yet stylish living feel, the first to mix and match pieces from different eras and price points, pioneering the high-low look that many still adhere to today. And, she had a basket thing – it has become the preferred storage container of today.
Parishs friends noticed her ability to create such charming spaces and began seeking decorating advice. She happily took on the responsibility, but after her husband and father suffered significant losses in the 1929 stock market crash, she decided to take it a step further and start her own “budget decorating” business. She admitted to never having opened a window or poured herself a glass of water, but she rented a 14×14-foot office in town and put up a sign on the front door that read “Mrs. Henry Parish II Interior Decorator.”
Parish marketed herself as the person who could take away what you
