COVETING CLOSETS

Oh dear - how I love great closets, probably mostly because I have none! Not a one - at least one that works. Don't get me wrong, I adore my house, but the closet situation is dire! So I covet, I mean covet, and dream about someday having a beautiful closet of my own...

PORTALS AND PASSAGES

“We can remind ourselves of life and all it brings, every time we see a door or cross a threshold. We often do not know what is on the other side. At times the appearance of the door gives us some inkling of this and at other times we simply have to enter with no assurances.

The door is a point of transition. We leave behind a room and enter another. We step through the door from the outside to the inside. It is the gap between the past and the future, a strong reminder of the present moment.” – Rob Smith

'ROUND AND 'ROUND WE GO!

I find the circular staircase completely mesmerizing from both a technical standpoint and aesthetic viewpoint. The sheer mathematical brilliance required to execute these works of art amazes me. What's your favorite, I'd love to hear?
