When does a room become a museum? Simply lost in thought today, as I roam the empty rooms of the 1970's, and 1980's. These images are from a favorite collection, Architectural Digest, New York Interiors, 1979, when it all felt new, and unstaged. At least it does in the photos. - David John

"In the interiors designed by Arthur Smith the decorator's personality is never obtrusive, and his professional touch is characteristically unisistent. There is no hint of striving after picturesque effect. Indeed most of the recognized forms of effect are studiously, almost puritanically avoided. Color contrasts are subtle, even when the colors are used relatively strong.

Elimination is the keynote.
