Falling Water, Open for Tours

Frank Lloyd Wright's, Falling Water, is now open for just three tour sessions. Visitors "will stay on the grounds - the Bear Run Nature Preserve - in a four-bedroom house with private baths, and take part in tours, meals, and lectures with Waggoner and curators".

Interiors

I found this article on a "Victorian Revival", in San Francisco, on Dwell's website. I love this kitchen.

Autumn

I didn't realize when I woke up this morning that today is the first day of fall. Hard to imagine since it'll be sunny and in the mid-to-high seventies all week. But! It's San Francisco, which means that it can't stay warm for long. Soon it'll be time for scarves, mittens, and hot apple cider.

New House Textiles

This morning, Anna sent me over the link to New House Textiles, a British textile design house that has been around since the 1920's. Last year they opened up their website to online sales, specifically their collection of  blinds and 1950's Swedish homeware products.

 

Movies I Love...

The Parent Trap, 1961.

Hayley Mills, Maureen O'Hara, Brian Keith.

I have loved this movie my entire life. I never get sick of it.
