Dorothy Dandridge At Home, 1962

Was it only yesterday?  Yesterday I started a new inspiration board on pinterest entitled She’s Got Style.  I only have a few pins so far: Christy Turlington, Grace Kelly, etc. Then in my feed this morning, an image of Dorothy Dandridge came up. I clicked on a link which led me to a dead end.  So I googled the actress’ name.

What I found were fantastic images  composed by Jessica Caldwell, founder of one of House Beautiful magazine’s favorite blogs, design wonderland.  A link to Caldwell’s great piece is below. But first… these gorgeous images of Dorothy at home in 1962.

I’ll be adding these images to my She’s Got Style board, of course.  Ms. Dandridge certainly fits the bill.

Does Dandridge’s home remind you of interiors you’ve seen designed more recently?  Does her style call anyone to mind?  Do tell!
