In Love With This House
Love this home in an old hotel over on designsponge today. It's everything beautiful with old, new, ordinary and interesting all blended together. And maybe its just because I have a big red feather ceremonial hat just like theirs hanging in my home, and that my bathroom in NY was had blue walls and a black and white checked floor...
Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela
"I was not born with a hunger to be free. I was born free. Free in every way that I could know. Free to run in the fields near my mother's hut, free to swim in the clear stream that ran through my village, free to roast mealies [corn] under the stars … It was only when I learnt that my boyhood freedom was an illusion … that I began to hunger for it."

Frank Lloyd Wright Textile Block House
The largest of Frank Lloyd Wrights' textile block houses in LA just sold. It looks like the new owner is interested in doing extensive needed restoration work which is fabulous. Made from 27,000 patterned and textured concrete blocks, the Ennis house is spectacular. I need to put it on my list of house to visit as they will open it to the public for 12 days a year. Picture and info here.
