Original Toronto Star caption: A black lacquer Chinese screen sets the tone for the den area. Decorator Dirstein relaxes on one of his antique chairs while his Corgi dog looks equally relaxed on a gold damask sofa. An antique French table; made to look as if it's made of large leather books; stands before the sofa. The home was originally a run-down boarding house.
