I agree-it's quite beautiful. Yes, I don't even look at most of the magazines I get any more-truly none inspire, but that is just between the 5 of US! I do still think WOI has a lot going for it-but nothing like this. As I wrote recently my entire view of interior design was seen through the photographs of Horst. pgtP.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-67663051202958887932013-09-06T23:00:27.614-04:002013-09-06T23:00:27.614-04:00Jane, the built in solves so many problems doesn&#...Jane, the built in solves so many problems doesn't it.pgtP.Gaye Tapp at Little Auguryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15115534755711063462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-66062960619541677652013-09-06T22:59:52.396-04:002013-09-06T22:59:52.396-04:00Erika, and that too-of course.

It can be rather difficult to photograph into the light, with a window in the background , and here the borrowed view of trees with diffused light reminds me of a japanese screen...and the light reflecting off the floor and in the metallic lamp is incorporated to great effect. I cannot help but think how the skill and composition of this photograph could be used as an example by interior photographers today. All of this post is intriguing.Philip Bewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593795071070337798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-11116686137666878602013-09-04T01:23:30.873-04:002013-09-04T01:23:30.873-04:00I love sofas that are built in.
