Greetings,
Quite often I'm asked from where these little musings come. And, of course, there's rarely an easy answer to that question. Sometimes it's an interesting trend that I've noticed in a design magazine. Or a movie or concert that I've recently seen. But, most often, it's directly connected to things happening here in the office.
Sometimes we're measuring for
light fixtures. Sometimes I'm toiling at my desk, designing
custom furniture for a client. And clearly, sometimes I'm just staring at the
grass outside - lol.
But, for the last few days I've been researching traditional English studies and libraries. I have two current clients in need of the classic style and easy elegance of these amazing spaces. A place to retreat from the hectic day. Escape into an amazing novel. Or just sit and survey the memories of a lifetime of travel.

How lucky you are to have these projects pending! They sound fun.
simply divine in every cozy, and tasteful way.
thank you cc
I am Scottish....(Leith and others; and English and Irish heritage) 10 generations ago or something.....
But Ralph seems "fake" to me. It doesn't "ring true"!
I figured out why. I went with a guide through private houses in Scotland......and I saw the "real thing".
Scottish houses ; are the real thing....and it is so obvious! Big Fat and Huge difference.
Most of the houses we visited were surprised we were there! Why would you Americans want to see this old "pile"? Wow ......I learned so much!
Nothing new....Everything collected and treasured from ancestors. Worn out rugs...piled on top of each other and at angles.....Divine beyond! Not a stage set. Lives lived.......and layers added......it was simply the most wonderful learning experience!

Perfect. The real deal.
Just wanted to let you know if it WAS you, or maybe, you know who WAS looking for them!?!?!?
Best,
