After all, Parish originated the American Country look, one of the most enduring decorative styles of the last half-century. While the look \u2014with its mix of good English and French furniture, along with painted chairs and tables, overstuffed sofas with lush <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/chintz\/\">chintz<\/a> slipcovers, and walls adorned with paintings of dogs and botanical prints \u2014 borrowed much from the English Country House style developed by Nancy Lancaster and Colefax and Fowler, she made it her own through her penchant for homey hooked and needlepoint rugs, patchwork quilts, showy painted floors and baskets galore, all arranged in a way that was artful yet unstudied. Parish\u2019s rooms had warmth and character, as well as a sense of permanence. Even if they had been assembled the previous day, the furnishings and objects looked as if they had been accrued over generations. Most surprising, these traditional interiors never dated, but seemed timeless. As she once observed, \u201cInnovation is often the ability to reach into the past and bring back what is good, what is beautiful, what is useful, what is lasting.&#8221;<!--more--><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76703\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76703\" class=\"wp-image-76703 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/parish_0007-1-e1471275627922.jpg\" alt=\"parish_0007-1\" width=\"500\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/parish_0007-1-e1471275627922.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/parish_0007-1-e1471275627922-311x350.jpg 311w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/parish_0007-1-e1471275627922-107x120.jpg 107w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76703\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Sister Parish-designed home in Maine.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>She was christened Dorothy May Kinnicutt, but soon got the nickname \u201cSister\u201d from her three-year old brother. If this was a misfortune \u2014 her husband complained mightily about being married to a woman he called \u201cSister\u201d \u2014 it was one of the few that befell her, as her life from the start was one of extraordinary privilege and pedigree. Her father, a prosperous stock broker, could trace his ancestry back to the fiery Puritan preacher Cotton Mather. Her mother was descended from one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. In her day, such Yankee ancestry was itself a social calling card. Her family maintained homes in Manhattan, the New Jersey hunt country, Maine and Paris. After she made her debut and spent a \u201cseason\u201d in Paris, she met Henry Parish, a Harvard man and young stock broker at the same firm as her father, at a dinner given by her family at their Far Hills, New Jersey home. The couple married soon after; Sister was 19. After they settled in an old white farmhouse, not far from her parents, Parish\u2019s exceptionally stylish nest-making skills came to the fore. A young wife on a budget, she made draperies out of white mattress ticking; covered the walls in a white striped paper; and painted the bedroom floor cherry-red with white diamonds. Captivated by the charming home she\u2019d concocted all on her own, her friends began asking for advice on their own homes.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76713\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76713\" class=\"wp-image-76713 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-legendary-interior-designers-everyone-should-know-e1471276052441.jpg\" alt=\"04-legendary-interior-designers-everyone-should-know\" width=\"580\" height=\"577\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-legendary-interior-designers-everyone-should-know-e1471276052441.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-legendary-interior-designers-everyone-should-know-e1471276052441-352x350.jpg 352w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-legendary-interior-designers-everyone-should-know-e1471276052441-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/04-legendary-interior-designers-everyone-should-know-e1471276052441-216x216.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76713\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The guest bedroom in Sister Parish\u2019s Maine retreat features a colorful cotton rug made up of rug samples. While Parish frequently furnished rooms with rare and expensive Aubusson rugs and 18th century furniture, she also appreciated frugality.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>What had begun as a delightful diversion turned into a career several years after the stock market crash, which forced her husband and father to take big pay cuts. Determined that her children should grow up with all the things she had had when young, Parish who, by her own account, had \u201cnever opened a window or poured a glass of water for herself,\u201d decided to make a professional go of decorating. She rented a 14-by-14 foot office in town, equipped it with a desk and wicker chair and hung out a shingle: Budget Decorating. Which is exactly what it was back then. Catering to the socially prominent, who suddenly found themselves financially squeezed, she came up with stylish ways to better arrange the antiques they already possessed and inexpensive strategies to freshen their homes. Such a display of drive and invention did nothing to calm the distress of one of Henry\u2019s aunts at the notion of a relation, and a woman, no less, going in to trade. So scandalized was she that the aunt disinherited him in favor of another relative she considered more respectable \u2014 Eleanor Roosevelt!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76723\" style=\"width: 503px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76723\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76723\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/dam-images-architects-2000-01-parish-arar03_parish.jpg\" alt=\"This charming room brims with beautiful and expensive furnishings, but is arranged in a casual and inviting way, making for the relaxed entertaining which Parish\u2019s clients so highly prized. \" width=\"493\" height=\"350\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76723\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This charming room brims with beautiful and expensive furnishings, but is arranged in a casual and inviting way, making for the relaxed entertaining which Parish\u2019s clients so highly prized.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>If Parish\u2019s aunt considered Sister going to work d\u00e9class\u00e9, there were other pillars of society with last names like Astor, Mellon, Vanderbilt and Whitney, who in the years to come were only too thrilled to have one of their own decorate their homes. Because no matter how wealthy or socially esteemed her client or socially esteemed, Parish always behaved like the patrician she was. She was well-mannered, but never servile. If anything, some of her clients were afraid of her. She could be imperious and caustic. At the start of a decorating project, and sometimes years after it was completed, she would arrive at their home and take the client\u2019s tea cart \u2014 in those days everyone of a certain social standing had at least one \u2014 and go from room to room packing it with all of the decorative objects that didn\u2019t pass muster.<\/p>\n<p>The decorating grand dames who had preceded her \u2014 Elsie de Wolfe, Dorothy Draper, who was a cousin on her mother\u2019s side, and Frances Elkins \u2014 all courted publicity and sought to monetize their talents through newspaper columns and books on decorating. Not Parish. She remained true to her breeding and did little to advertise her talents in the early days. In truth, she didn\u2019t have to. The many commissions she received were lucrative enough to keep her small firm humming.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76753\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76753\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/WHyellowNARA.jpg\" alt=\"The yellow Oval Room in the Sister Parish-decorated White House.\" width=\"600\" height=\"561\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/WHyellowNARA.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/WHyellowNARA-374x350.jpg 374w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/WHyellowNARA-120x112.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76753\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The yellow Oval Room in the Sister Parish-decorated White House.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Her public profile was raised considerably when Jackie Kennedy, for whom she had decorated a Georgetown townhouse when she was a senator\u2019s wife, asked her to take charge of the family quarters at the White House. Electing an Irish Catholic to the presidency had been a major issue during the campaign, so news of Parish\u2019s assignment caused one newspaper editor to assume it was sign of the Vatican\u2019s impending influence as the paper published the headline: &#8221;Kennedys Pick Nun to Decorate White House.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The high-profile assignment was not a happy one. Legend has it that Parish was eventually fired for telling a five-year-old Caroline to take her feet off the upholstery. But rumor has it that Parish told friends that Jackie Kennedy did not feel it necessary to pay all of her decorating bills. Apparently, she considered the honor of a White House commission \u2014 and the consequent publicity \u2014 compensation enough. Proud American that Parish was, she was also a self-respecting capitalist! If bills were not paid, no work. Interestingly, many years later, a newly married Duchess of York asked Parish to decorate her new residence, but when Buckingham Palace got word of Parish\u2019s high fees, the commission was cancelled.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_76743\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76743\" class=\"size-full wp-image-76743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/parish3-e1471291760342.jpg\" alt=\"A Sister Parish and Albert Hadley collaboration from the 1970s. \" width=\"580\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/parish3-e1471291760342.jpg 580w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/parish3-e1471291760342-478x350.jpg 478w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/parish3-e1471291760342-120x88.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76743\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A Sister Parish and Albert Hadley collaboration from the 1970s.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Nevertheless, the publicity Parish received for the ill-fated White House project definitely widened the appeal of her American Country look. By this time, she was so busy and her commissions had grown so complex that she hired Albert Hadley, a native of Nashville, Tennesse who had worked at McMillen and trained at Parsons, to handle all the architectural design work: drawing floorplans, refining flawed architectural envelopes, sketching curtain treatments. Two years later, she made him a partner, changing the firm\u2019s then name from \u201cMrs. Henry Parish II, Interiors\u201d to the now fabled \u201cParish-Hadley.\u201d Hadley brought architectural knowledge to the practice and an academic understanding of the field. It was he who in the decades to come managed the projects behind the scenes and oversaw the work of the junior decorators as the firm grew and grew in size.<\/p>\n<p>The caliber of the clients and the quality of the finished work attracted the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of aspiring young decorators and designers. Among the soon-to-be decorating stars who passed through Parish-Hadley\u2019s doors were Mark Hampton, Bunny Williams, David Easton, Mariette Hines Gomez, David Kleinberg, Thomas Jayne and Brian McCarthy. Through the work of her firm and those who apprenticed there, Parish continues to influence American notions of taste and style to this day. That is a legacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sister Parish (1910-1994) was the last of America\u2019s grand dame decorators \u2014 and arguably, she was the greatest of them all.
