It’s finally turned cold her in New England – as cold as it’s been in over two years! All week I found myself thinking of warmer climes. While digging thru books in our library looking for wood paneling ideas yesterday, I pulled The Architecture of William Lawernce Bottomley, by Susan Frazer off the shelf. Most of the photographs are black and white. Encouraged by what I saw, I shifted my search efforts to the computer. In the midst of my search I found color images of a Virginia house he designed in the 1920′s, including these interior shots of the pool house – classic, timeless, as up to date today as it was when it was built. I absolutely LOVE the lattice work and the fireplace! There’s something ever so slightly oriental about the feel in the second image.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be lounging in one of those chairs right about now?

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Designed by Bobby McAlpine. Love how the frames of the prints on the wall echo the architecture of the window structure. Very elegant!!! Amazing how the curves and organic forms in the furniture and chandelier soften and make this very large masculine space so intimate and inviting.

Do you think the chandelier was always so wobbly and wonky?

Have a wonderful weekend!
