Tasteful Friends: Let's relax in Doris Duke's private bathroom at Rough Point

Wouldn't the humidity in the bathroom make the wallpaper peel? Oh well, I like the mirrored door.

She only took cold baths

Doris Duke was not "old money."

I do love the look. Maybe I’m stuck in the 80s, but I’ve always loved antiques and an “old money” tasteful decor. The current trend of white, gray and tan monochrome has to end at some point. I appreciate it in the city, but a country house should be earthy, whimsical and have a sense of history.

Too bad it’s oaywalled. Would love to see the rest of the house.

I like the wallpaper.

I'm with you, R4..

Two chairs? Did she have guests while pooping?

A lady doesn't poop, she visits the water closet.

.....But, of course...

Can't relax when you have to clean the incontinent harridan's shit off the damask wallpaper.

Nicolas Fairford, subject of the other thread, is having orgasms looking at this.

It figures you trashy old queens would like this schlock.

Fuckin awesome! I'm with R4, I far prefer the traditional look, mind you I reckon interior design peaked in 1885 and has been going downhill ever since, more so since all this hideous minimalism started

R11 I could have orgasms with him

Tags on the furniture in the video as well as a WSJ feature....

Did her people come from Calumet City?

@r12, "It figures you trashy old queens would like this schlock. "

You know us so well

The two chairs with little table in between is untenable. Each chair blocks a doorway (i.e., this stupid little set-up blocks access to two different areas).

this is a decorating scheme often attempted and looks terrifyingly wrong in most instances.

Looks expensive even in the pics

A chandelier in the shitter? Now that's real class. I bet she raised her pinky when she wiped her ass.

I got me a chandelier in the shitter. Mind you I dont claim to be classy or nothin

Ha. I spend a lot of time in the bathroom as it is. If it looked like this , I would never leave

Mary!

Doris was a cousin of my mother’s mother, who was a Duke, and they all thought she was crazy.

As a drunk, I now understand the propensity to shit in closets.

The butler.

It was the butler.

I hate it. It's bland, fussy, prissy, and high-maintenance.

You KNOW that every time you had to pee, the maid would be in there, windexing the glass-topped tables or dusting the chandelier! Bathrooms should be a place you can be private and relax, not a place where you're fussing about dust on the knicknacks, being embarrassed over the existence of a toilet, or where there's no good place to put the chairs.

^ Biggest MARY! on this thread.

“Did you shit in my trailer, you FUCK?”

“No, Cunt, but Aunt Doris did stop by to say hello.”
