My husband and I were sad to have missed touring Milieu magazine’s first designer showhouse (benefitting Clayton Dabney for Kids With Cancer) in 2020. Unfortunately, sheltering in place revised our plans that year. However, in Revisiting MILIEU Showhouse: Timeless Interiors, a perfectly safe opportunity is here to remember this sophisticated masterpiece of a manse.
