Vanderbilt Mansion @ Hyde Park, New York.

Beautiful Architectural Landmark

One of the most beautiful houses I visited in New York.

Built from 1896-1899 by architects Charles Follen McKim and Sanford White in Beaux-Arts style for Frederick W. and Louise Vanderbilt. 

The interior was lavishly decorated with fine furniture and decorations; and today the Mansion still contains its original Italian and French furnishings, European tapestries and beautiful Oriental rugs. Louise Vanderbilt had her bedroom modeled after the Marie Antoinette Chamber at the Palace of Versailles. 

From the mansion and grounds visitors can see fantastic views of the Hudson River, Hudson River Valley, Catskill Mountains and surrounding countryside.

The Vanderbilt Mansion was one of the most modern homes of its time as it contained indoor plumbing, a forced air central heating system and even had electricity that was generated from a hydroelectric power plant located on the property. The hydroelectric power plant was located along Crum Elbow Creek on the property so the electricity for the estate was self-supported.

Thanksgiving

For flowers that bloom about our feet;

For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;

For song of bird, and hum of bee;

For all things fair we hear or see,

Father in heaven, we thank Thee!

Treasure Box Bathroom

A small bathroom in Manhattan

client wanted the old bathtub to be removed

and replaced with a more contemporary looking shower.

What came to my mind was a treasure box

with lots of sparkling gold on an island.

When control the amount of light inside and outside

of the shower area, the amber glass tiles

just sparkling with different shades.

Play the right music to create the mood

either taking your sensual bath or a social bath

if is going to be a sensational experience!
