White Enamel Flatwa...
My favorite is definitely the Radha and Krishna painting. Being of Indian descent, I've been trying to incorporate some Indian inspired decor into my living room without getting kitschy.
I'd like to spend a night or two in the Venetian room from the Sagreda Palace, but the 17th century Dutch interior seems more like home.
I also like the room from the 17th century Hart House from Ipswich Mass, not shown here but at the link.
#4 Please.
Yes. #4.
Which would I like to hang on my walls? Definitely number 4.
...but which would I like to enter, to live in? It's a toss up between 5 and 3 (5 is winning).
I think I would curl up easy in number 1. I see a coffee maker on the shelf. In the morning, I could make my own coffee then run out the door to discover the magic of Paris in 1926... it must have been such a wonderful time for artists - which would amply compensate the modest studio digs.
