BATHROOM TO EACH BEDROOM

It faces on to two squares, the front on to Hyde Park Square and the back on to Gloucester Square, such is the length of the house-, with three big drawing rooms on the first floor, painted Italian blue. Practically each bedroom 011 the guest floor, which is reached by a lift fitted with flaps to carry breakfast trays, has its own bathroom. That of the chatelaine is biscuit and green to match her enormous bedroom, half of which becomes a sitting room with sofas and chair. Mr. Leith's rooms reverse the colour scheme and are green and biscuit. A large oval table was made in Florence for the dining room in gilded wood and marbled composition, with , chairs to match. From Florence, 100, came the Italian gates that make an original front door.
