In many of our client meetings of late the subject of the
"bar" and location of said "bar" has been of utmost
importance. I have one client who wanted the bar in their bedroom (and NO
that is not a morning bar). Another who suggested the master bath and yet
another who talked of having one in not only the living room, but the dining room and also poolside. I think
this just goes to show how important gracious entertaining is as the focal point of
the ever so gracious home. I've always been a huge fan of the bar cart or the
table top bar display- there is something about it- so very warm, welcoming and ever- ready
for a party. It reeks of special occasion-ness and every day frivolity, just
make sure that in your coterie of acquaintances you have at least one master
mixologist! So cheers everyone - it's five o'clock somewhere!

GOD IS IN THE DETAILS
CARLO SCARPA
(1906-1978)
It is always amazing to me why I'm inherently drawn to
certain things. Carlo Scarpa's iconic architecture is no exception. I was not
aware of the fact that Scarpa initially shied away from architecture. He, in
fact, preferred to practice interior design and industrial design and never
actually completed the architectural profession's educational requirements. He
ultimately ended up practicing the entirety of his career with no license.
Scarpa's style was absolutely unique. His attention to the details in his
architectural masterpieces is riveting. For Carlo Scarpa, God was indeed in the
details.
