West Village Ancient Brick Wall

As I was walking in West Village,

again I came across some of these old brick walls
and I was inspired. 

This is an interesting brick wall
every few spaces it has an irregular shape of brick
which make this wall has a different visual effect.

This old brick wall has a lot of texture -

uneven sizes and colors of brick 

have given much characters and interesting

visual appeal; 

huge planter brings out the beauty

of the wall.

 

This industrial looking building has converted into

a retail store, window box with summer flowers

has compliment the brick wall.

Element of Style: French Louis XVI Fruitwood Desk

I love this antique French Louis XVI fruitwood desk.

There are 4 drawers, beautiful fluted legs, and a great "H" form cross stretcher.  

It is very nice fully restored with a rich and warm patina. France circa 1880.

It is very simple, well made and steady. Not only it is functional but it also offers a lots of visual appear. This desk works in almost any rooms. In the city apartment, or at a beach house in Hampton or a country house in Upstate New York.

“If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, 
what is the significance of a clean desk?"
- Dr Laurence J. Peter -

Summer Solstice

First day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, 

which means it's the longest day of the year in 2011.

"It is a time of fertility and celebration: bonfires, maypoles, dancing, and outdoor festivals have been traditional during this time for most of human history. In some modern Pagan faiths it is believed that this holiday represents the highest ascendancy of masculine divinity."

Element of Style: Stone Benches

Antique stone bench

always give character to a garden.
Design of the garden can be 
classic or modern design,

with the right piece of stone bench
can make quite a statement.


This little stone bench I saw at

Brooklyn Botanical Garden has added

an extra charm to this garden. 

I equally loved this "more majestic" stone bench 
I came across at @ Knightshayes Court
at Tiverton, England.


This is a formal garden, I remembered when I sat on it,

looking at the beautiful garden and surroundings,

I felt like I was at the Edwardian or Victorian era!

Some of these benches below are simple,

not only it allows to rest your feet,

it also gives character to your garden;

whether it is traditional or modern garden.

I love seeing this antique stone bench in a modern garden.
