5 Interior Design Blogs We Couldn't Live Without This cleanly designed and beautifully photographed blog is the creation of a generous interior designer. Vancouver based Patricia Gray shares her keen eye for style, takes us on trips around the world and points out the resources and materials that she enjoys using on a job. The later is particularly useful for interior designers. It's great to see a master designer work, to look at her resources as they appear in finished spaces, and get an analysis of why and how they function beautifully. You also get the bonus of a well-trained feng shui expert, layered on top of this interior designer, and you can better understand why Patricia's interiors exude calm, serenity, and strong flow.
Patricia Gray is an interior designer par excellence with a pedigree that would wow anyone. Her innovative design work has been featured all over the world, and in many different publications (including the renowned Architectural Digest). Patricia's warm style and originality have helped skyrocket her to the top of the interior design world, and her blog reflects this. Design 55 UK

Patricia, you give us aspects of the world that we might never see; ideas to inspire us, pictures that move us emotionally, a view to a kinder, more artistic world that lies within our reach. This must take time and energy, and I am most thankful for your blog. J Marie Goodwin Vancouver

Patricia , such a great note. F Lloyd Wright is one of my favorite architect . When I was in the Usa , I haven't had time to go to see th falling waters house but it was my dream .
ReplyDeleteArchitecture and nature together are just the best.
Hi Melanie
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will be able to visit Falling Waters one day.
Thanks for your comment.
Patricia, this is probably my favorite building of all time. FLW was a genius. It's difficult to beleive sometimes that the idea for the home is over 100 yrs old, and yet it still looks so modern and so relevant today. I would love to go visit it next time I'm in the US. For anyone interested there is a book that was written by the Kauffmann's son (the family who commissioned the house) and its full of interesting anecdotes.
ReplyDeleteI am ashamed to say that we lived in Pittsburgh for 5 years and never made it to Falling Waters. A fact that I very much regret.
ReplyDeleteHi Suzy
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip on the book. For anyone interested the book is:

Hi All the Best
ReplyDeleteThat is so often the case. I know I am probably guilty of the same thing.
This should be in the dictionary under Perfection. Looking at it closely, do you think they superimposed the picture of the house through those trees? It's just placed so perfectly. Or, is that from a lookout point? Isn't it amazing that one person had the vision to create a house like this. I once read an article on the house that was about how the beauty came from outside the house, looking at it, rather than inside, looking out. That you were unaware of the genius of the house from the inside, you had to be outside to know it. Anyway, beautiful picture and thought provoking one, too.

Enjoying your blog... One comment -the correct name is Fallingwater....
ReplyDeleteI was a fortunate one. I grew up in Pittsburgh and the first time I visited Fallingwater was when I was 14 years old. Its effect will always stay with me. Fallingwater speaks to young people and they are able to instantly recognize its genius and harmony...If you have kids, get them there somehow...I'm hoping to go back with mine in September or October.
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing that to my attention. I have made the correction.
Hi Lenore
ReplyDeleteI can see why kids would like this.
He was a true genius...it appeals to all ages. Your kids are lucky to be able to see it in person.
Thanks for your comment.
Hi Joni
ReplyDeleteThanks for your observations. I think part of the beauty of this house is how it completely integrates into the landscape. I wish more architects and builders would design for the landscape.
