"Standing outside his bedroom was a wax figure of a queen's Household Cavalry guard. The bedroom itself was dark and quite plain, in tones of beige and brown, and, to be honest, a bit depressing. Adjacent to the bed was a huge, red, thronelike chair ornately trimmed in gilt. Above the mahogany four-poster was a painting of a blond Jesus."

everything about Architectural Digest confuses me, except the regular appearance of Kenneth Noland paintings in the dwellings featured therein.

Architectural Digest is neither about architecture nor a digest. Discuss.
