One of my fave posts of yours, ever. More! More!

nkp said...

Wow Miss, that was exquisite...this should be beamed across the internet for all to enjoy. Two of my favorite subjects Dutch art and Dutch/ Belgian style interiors...who needs Domino when there are creative geniuses such as yourself. Thank You for sharing!

Raina said...

That photo essay is beautiful and brilliant. Just like its author.

Designers' Brew said...

OMG, you guys are making me all blushy and stuff.

P-YES. I love you too.

Erin-Thank you! This was one of my favorites to put together... must do more.

NKP-you are too lovely. Though evidently, I needed Marie Claire Maison, if not exactly Domino.

Raina-xoxoxo forever.

Wow, this collection of interiors and art is beautiful! You sure know the way to an Art History minor's heart! Oh, I love it.

All you are missing is Girl with the Pearl earring-don't know if it's Dutch though

Kate said...

brilliant post, love them all, will happily transplant myself to any of those if you send the keys. Please.

I did 20 lengths of the pool yesterday and thought of you as I was hyperventilating and clutching my chest at the end of it. Hope the proper 'power' swimming is going very well.

Designers' Brew said...

Hiya Newburgh! Welcome and thank you so much for stopping by!

Kate--I am soooo out of shape. Didn't swim at all for a month after Christmas. Have to hit the power swimming hard!

Designers' Brew said...

YES. Idiot. He's got millions of dollars in endorsements based on a wholesome, aw-shucks image--does he really think Kellogg's is still going to want his face plastered all over their Corn Flakes after he's caught on film smoking an illegal drug? Although I guess he wound up with a DUI after his last post-Olympics bender and somehow managed to live that down, so maybe he'll get lucky again...

Raina said...

I wonder if he's letting loose after spending his entire teenage-hood training and towing the line. That couldn't have been much fun.

Not to excuse his behavior, but I understand it.

Designers' Brew said...

100% that's what it is... I just wish he'd had the sense to avoid indulging in the non-G-rated activities while at a party full of strangers with camera phones.

This is the most gorgeous post EVER. I adore northern european. And you captured that placid-yet-rich thing in the interiors so perfectly. Wow.
