Todd Romano's patio, as seen in Elle Decor June-July 2001. Photo by Pieter Estersohn.



Now that I have an iPhone, the Todd Romano/Elle Decor video is at my fingertips for a mini escape anytime I'm enduring a long doctor's office visit. Notice how Romano mixes animal prints with bright Palm Beachy colors and Asian touches? I used to think of this look as an East Coast design tradition, or a Tony Duquette invention.

Designer Schuyler Samperton's bedroom, photographed by Grey Crawford for Elle Decor, November 2003.
I've posted this Samperton bedroom a hundred times, but it's a great example of one Westerner's way of using just a touch of leopard print with rich colors and textures. Everything is more subdued.
