Stockholm
In the middle of Stockholm (city of many islands) is a small island called Beckholmen which houses the royal navy and also a few houses up the middle as you can see above. I've highlighted it here in pink on the map. The city center is just to the left.Because of it's location, it's surprisingly quiet for being right in the city. Also it's...

Egyptian Avenue
Have you heard of Egyptian Avenue at the Highgate cemetery in London? I recently came across it and fell in love! The first section was completed in 1839 and was a popular burial spot up till the early 20th century. This is how a cemetary SHOULD look.The entrance into this section of the cemetary (7 in all) is through a large Pharoanic...

Seura magic tvs!
Recently while doing some research at work I came across Seura tv's. They're the company that makes those bathroom mirrors that have little tv screens hidden in them. Well - apparently they also do full size mirrored tvs too! While the picture quality probably won't be winning any awards, I think this is such a great idea for a secondary...

Radiator Cover
In the March / April 2009 issue of 'The English Home' magazine is an radiator cover in a beautiful London home. While this is a table provided by 'White' in Paris, it could easily have been 2 old limestone or terra cotta corbels from your local salvage yard with a marble slab resting on top. Such a great solution for those ugly radiators...

Houses in Houston
Just a little more house love from Houston.... The Charleston style houses seen at the top of this post all had exterior entries through a door into gated gardens. These brick verandas led you into all of the public spaces of the house through french doors with no proper 'front door' - interesting, huh? I love the ceiling fans that line...

Mediterranean style house tour
While in Houston this past weekend, I was able to tour this Mediterranean or Spanish style house being built. It was quite a treat! I hope you can all appreciate these photos and not just the geeky architect in me: you have to use your imagination somewhat as it's still under construction.The front door had this beautiful limestone surround...

Thank you PVE!
Last week I was surprised to get a beautiful package from Patricia at PVE! She was kind enough to do my blog header awhile back based on a conversation we had over lunch in New York. I was very uncertain of what to use but knew I wanted a sketchy architectural scene in shades of gray. She is a genius and produced a beautiful header that I...

On the Cote de Texas.....
I spent the weekend in Houston, TX - remember how I mentioned I was going someplace warm and sunny? Warm, comparitively at least for a northerner like me, but it ended up being gray and drizzly unfortunately :-(I spent Saturday with the super stylish Joni of Cote de Texas. We met for lunch at the yummy Raven Grill (which has an adorable...
