Her apartment at 69 rue de Lille was decorated by Georges Geffroy (1903-1971), the prominent Parisian society decorator, who designed the interiors for the Hôtel Lambert for Baron Alexis de Rédé in 1948 and also the renowned Parisian apartment of Loel and Gloria Guinness, later owned by Nelia Barletta de Cates at 18 Avenue Matignon, among many others.
