Looks beautiful, a lovely home! Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's over a hundred years old (though not when these photos were taken.
DeleteFollowing up your comment on my post (and thanks btw), both Canada and Mexico pretty well reiterated things that they had already planned to do and of which tRump had already been aware. It's all nonsense as very little illegal stuff crosses our border, but for some reason, he thinks tariffs will pressure Canada into joining the US.
ReplyDeleteIt's so odd that he apparently requires Canada to protect the US border. That is not typically how borders work. They exist to protect people coming in not going out. But not in tRump world.
It's definitely a silly topsy turvy world he lives in...but we remember to look at what's going on behind all the smoke and mirrors...the Musk takeover is really scary.
DeleteHe is a performative fool and I feel disgusted by his treatment of our excellent neighbors! He did not win with a huge amount of the vote he squeaked. I believe that in the end he will punch himself out.
DeleteI like that better than a lot of his designs. He was quite a genius.
ReplyDeleteI like the quote too, Barb. He nailed it, didn't he.
And that room in NY. So small!
I didn't know about his earlier designs, but did like some of the later styles (which I'll be sharing probably.) We do have our own little worlds to live in, but it's good to reach out and know there are others with different views on things, who also want to live in peace!
DeleteVery cute little house but it must be a nightmare to roof.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, and practical!
DeleteHi Barbara, Although we lived in Chicago for many, many years, I've never been to Wright's Oak Park home...but my better half has and she loved it. We both love Edward Hopper's paintings. Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Delete...the Walter Gale House is beautiful and a style that I wouldn't associate with Frank Lloyd Wright. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful house that is and it still looking good all these years later.
ReplyDeleteI love Hopper. And this beautiful home! So solid looking and interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love all those windows!
