Last week I accompanied Kathleen Brennan, a Waterworks sales consultant, to Dobbs Ferry, NY. At the end of our visit to Steven Tilley Architects, she offered to show me a house that I would love and probably want to write about. It was the incredible Armour-Stiner House in Irvingington-on-Hudson, NY; an eight sided, domed, colonnaded house shaped like a Roman temple. It has all of those architectural attributes and it is painted pink as well!
This sign was in a window and I could not resist photographing it!

By now you know that I love Hudson, NY–the antiques and vintage Mecca of the Northeast. On June 10th I took a day off to go exploring and was gifted with a gorgeous, sunny, warm day perfect to be outside walking the streets. Usually I go with some specific goal, however, on this particular day, I decided to photograph whatever object was appealing without considering where it might go, what its price, or what bathroom would benefit from its purchase.
Neues Museum. A complicated organic border in bright greens.

Last spring Robert and I went to Berlin on our way to Copenhagen. It was a convenient stop over and a wonderful place to explore museums. Several museums are conveniently located together on an island in the Spree River, within walking distance of other architecturally interesting buildings and our hotel in West Berlin. I had forgotten to write about my experience until I read Thomas Jayne’s blog Ancient and Modern Decoration where he wrote about his recent trip to the Neues Museum and his infatuation with Nefertiti.
Great and inspiring architecture in Berlin.

I am off on a “learning journey” to Berlin to see the Schinkel houses and to Copenhagen for the Design Leadership Summit. See you again on May 4th. Barbara bsallick@waterworks.com
