Rough Point… and Doris’s plastic potatoes.

14 Comments

.

Continuing our tour of Doris Duke’s Rough Point estate… the morning room.

.

.

Because when you’re rich, every time of the day has its own room.

.

.

Family crest stained glass windows.

.

.

The dining room was odd as it was a huge, mostly empty space.

.

.

Doris preferred her table, without extensions, in front of the window

.

.

And this was her absolutely favorite piece.

She loved it so much, she took it with her when traveling.

.

.

Apparently a house is not a home without a giant silver swan.

.

.

I thought this was a nice touch.

.

.

Doris’s record collection only contained vintage albums.

Husband chose Louis Armstrong as he was a frequent guest. You can’t go wrong with Satchmo.

.

.

Multiple kitchens.

.

.

With old, but still working appliances.

.

.

The kitchen was 3 separate rooms.

.

.

All with nice views.

.

.

It’s a very workable space.

.

.

Though I could have done without the plastic veggies…

.

.

And pots full of plastic boiling potatoes.

.

.

I get it.

It’s a kitchen. There was food.

😉

  4. I absolutely LOVE the kitchen. It’s big and bright and with views no less, but I’m with you, I could have done without all the plastic vegetables. I mean, one can stage that vintage kitchen much better I’m sure. As for the silver swan, it’s nice but I wouldn’t travel with it.

  5. Is the Swan breakable? I get if she took it to her other houses..at first I thought you meant on vacation, etc..
    As for the food, maybe they were sharing what types of food people ate during the time period.
