In defense of that truism that everything old is new again, the return to classic lines in design and architecture is as strong as it’s ever been. If you have a modicum of doubt, let us direct you to the local bookshop to buy a new book by Peter Pennoyer and Anne Walker on architecture designed by the brothers John and Eliot Cross. Titled, New York Transformed, the monograph features stunning shots of some of Gotham’s iconic buildings, including the flagship Tiffany’s store and the RCA Victor building. But it’s the stunning homes and the lavish interiors, which will make your heart soar—and give you inspiration for your next home or major remodel. From wood-paneled rooms to curving staircases, stunning millwork, elegant exteriors, and majestic gardens, it all makes you want to time travel back to the early 1900s. If you want to see the childhood home of the famous designer, Sister Parish, it’s in the book. It was a Cross and Cross creation.
