Every business website one visits has a ‘blog’ section and those are indeed incredibly dull; they have nothing to say. I believe this may in part be a backlash to their popularity 10 years ago and also because so many blogs were created, following the TREND, that had no substance and nothing to say. The house is 66 years old and it’s in Houston, but apparently the expert thinks it would fail in Dallas. I have learned so much about the history of 20th century design through Gaye’s blog and her book is a distillation of her many years of research on the topic. Much like at the Belvedere, the emphasis again is not on the lovely (if someone bland) palace but on the gardens. The rooms were decorated as if in use, with clothes tossed around (much like my own closet!), you half expected the bathing suit and towels strewn about to be wet. Two of the first smaller rooms which blew me away were the ‘his’ and ‘hers’ dressing rooms (closets really) which had been taken on by the decorative artist Rosemarie Petruzzellis of The Paint Palette.

Who wouldn’t love a dressing area like either of these! I love this wild abandon on the walls both in the ‘his’ and the ‘her’ dressing areas. Anyone reading this blog, or Gaye’s, will love ‘How They Decorated’ and should definitely include it in their reference library. You will empower your team to be better at their work. It doesn’t get better than this. Your entire trek covers approximately 12.5 kilometers plus it would take better than a couple of hours to succeed in the summit. Also be sure to follow her blog as she passionately covers the history of design. No matter whether the house is old or new, they like to provide a bit of wabi-sabi to the space by adding age and patina to give a sense of history. Photographs give you information, as well as people telling you things verbally. I imagine she raided her own closet as well as her husband’s in furnishing the clothing! No detail was left untouched, even the door stop to the ‘his’ closet is a cute cast iron dog. This was generated with GSA Content Generator DEMO.

If one can’t have fun in their private closet at their beach house, where can you really let loose? When an architect or builder decides to build a house, fundamental decisions are made as to how one approaches the land or nature as I’ll call it. This is not exactly what I’d call ’embracing nature’ or what is natural to the area. Many designers specialize in a specific area such as designing educational institutions or residential structures. I jumped at the chance to see the house but also to tour that area of Long Island as I hadn’t visited before. In the top photo is a very glamorous example of going against nature The house is walled in, keeping the desert nature out as well as any desert critters I would suppose. Jose said that entryways are the most important room of any house as they provide the introduction. Editing is the most crucial part of design and Jose likes to work with existing furniture and architecture when possible, but in new ways; thinking outside of the box.

While Jose tends towards the modern and Paul towards traditional, their work together has created some stunning interiors as proved by this book. One of my favorite modern architects is Richard Meier. And all these have a regular requirement of good architects. On one side if you have the glittering wonderful city, then on the other side there is a wide-stretched desert. For example, If the design of your site and marketing strategy is not based on the latest trends, then chances are your website will not increase the success of your clinic. They didn’t follow trends, they set them. These lovely trellised pavilions set into the garden are lovely spots to sit. For that reason see above lovely photograph of the Gloriette high above the Neptune fountain from wikipedia. This point is high above the city and offers spectacular views over all the surrounding neighborhoods – because of the stunning architecture and views, this is the most popular tourist attraction in the city. To be considered for the school, Cleveland Public School District students must have an overall high grade point average in addition to showing talent in the arts. Of course my visit to Taliesin West had a lot to do with this; Frank Lloyd Wright’s summer camp and architectural school.
