Mirror walk

Jane walking with a mirror in the corridor to the Laurieston Hall kitchen. (Hold the mirror at the bridge of your nose, so that you see the ceiling above, rather than the floor. A very disconcerting experience. It also works outdoors under trees.)

Würzburg buy Care-O-Pet online Residence (Residenz) with the Court Gardens in Spring
Unesco World Heritage Site
The former residence of the Würzburg prince-bishops is one of the most important baroque palaces in Europe and today it is on UNESCO’s World Cultural Heritage list. Originally designed for Prince-Bishop Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn by the then young and unknown architect Balthasar Neumann, it took sixty years to complete; the shell of the delivery generic cialis palace was built from 1720 to 1744 and the interior finished in 1780.

Neumann’s world-famous staircase, roofed by an unsupported vault, was decorated in 1752/53 by the Venetian Giovanni Battista Tiepolo with a ceiling fresco representing the four continents. The painting, measuring 18 x 30 metres, is one of the largest without prescription buy cheap online Camagra frescos ever created. The magnificent sequence of rooms begins with the Vestibule and Garden Hall and continues via the staircase and White Hall to the Imperial Hall, also with frescos by G.B. Tiepolo. The vaulting of these rooms even withstood the devastating fire of 1945, while the ceilings and floors of the Imperial Apartments flanking the Imperial Hall were destroyed. The furnishings and wall panelling had been removed beforehand, enabling the rooms to be reconstructed.

Restoration was completed in 1987 with the reopening of the Mirror Cabinet. There is a total of over 40 palace rooms to visit, with a rich array of furniture, tapestries, paintings and other 18th century treasures. The Court Chapel, entered separately from the Residence Square, is one of the finest examples of religious art in Würzburg. The State Gallery contains Venetian art from the 17th and 18th centuries (Branch of the Bavarian State Galleries).

A walk in the Würzburg Court Garden is a delight for both nature- and art-lovers. The water basin encircled by yew trees clipped into the shape of cones forms the present centre of the South Garden. In front of the magnificent east façade is a terraced garden decorated with groups of puttos by Johann Peter Wagner.

Between the Buses

I was wondering why there were so many buses on this street, I guess this little girl was too.

I wish I had her face, but I think I like this better

Taken outside of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Downtown Los Angeles. The streets around the Dorothy Chandler and the Walt Disney Concert Hall were packed with school buses Friday for field trips to both sites. Quite a sight!

Art Deco Mansion in Portland – see desc for more story


Image by Scrunchleface
There’s this mansion that abuts Portland’s Laurelhurst Park that I’ve long been obsessed with. Behind the overgrown fence, you could see a pool and a poolhouse, and the rest was obscured. I never saw anyone going in or out, and liked to peer through the fence like a young girl fantasizing about her secret garden. Later I read a more thorough description of it in The Architectural Guidebook to Portland.

It gracefully nestles into the arch of a curving corner, with a circular driveway creating a wide expanse of lawn between the driveway and the house. The house is tinged with faded glory, very Norma-Desmond style, Art Deco glory shamelessly, periodically remodeled. Anyways, evidently the patriarch recently passed away and the daughters are selling the house because they had an estate sale. We went inside and I took no pictures (though I have these pictures I took of it several years ago), but was fascinated to see the innards of this long-obsessed-over house. Supposedly the owners for the last few decades had been the ambassador to Lebanon, who threw lavish parties.

In the basement is a full out ballroom, with scuffed wooden floors, a bar the size of my living room, a small stage of the kind children adore, murals, faded hanging velvets from the 1920s; several storage rooms/pantries, and several furnaces the size of a car. In one of the pantries, devoted exclusively to party supplies such as plastic online Camagra without prescription buy cheap cocktail glasses, pieces of cocktail shakers and paper plates, we found 1 or 2 dozen cases of Champale, an individual sized (12 oz bottle) malt liquor/champagne beverage which explains "It’s like nothing you’ll ever taste-except champagne!" They were at least 20-25 years old and all the boxes were moldy (though we bought a 4 pack in order to see which of our friends Darwinian selection will take care of).

On the main floor was a grand entrance hall, a grand formal room with giant fireplace, a parlor, a banquet room, a dining room, a giant pantry, a reading-sunroom off the grand room tiled decoratively and with a tiled fountain in its center (!); and a large kitchen that had been remodeled with carpet(!) in the late 70s. Outside in back were half-size manicured gardens in the french style, with narrow boxwood hedges and tiny white wrought iron benches. There was also a crumbling greenhouse, the paint peeling off, many panes of glass broken, filed entirely with plastic plants (!!). The pool was short and narrow as well, but had the full range of deepness from 3 feet to 12, and had curling, elaborate wrought iron handrails (original art deco pieces) down sweeping stairs at the shallow end. A covered sitting area with an outdoor fireplace looked over the swimming pool.

Upstairs, the master bedroom was a good 1000 square feet, with several walk in closets, another rounded reading/sunroom, and several bathrooms with his/hers accoutrements. The residence of an elder at some point was apparent due to orthopedic shoes, toilet grab bars, and red and blue houndstooth wool suits. The master bed had a silken canopy and many elaborate built-in drawers in the wall; as did several of the daughters or guests rooms down the hall. Each bedroom had an elaborately tiled bath; the master bedroom in aqua/teal, others in pink, purple and green. Clearly the Lebanese influence had been at work to bring this fantastic piece of beauty that fit into the Art Deco theme; see pictures of tile work on the outside of the house here and here.

We could also tell that the family had several daughters, for they were selling portraits that had been done of them. ONe featured the entire family, circa 1981, the daughters all with identical raven-black, feathered/winged hair, and a giant Jesus looming over the family.
The closets were filled with the sorts of clothes that Carrie Bradshaw might have taken a chance on (and been able to pull off) in 1976 or so; hippie-vintage-esque women who obviously run resale boutiques in Portland were digging through them, exclaiming "This is a Drag Queen’s wet dream!!" (Unbeknownst to me, my [gay] friend was there earlier in the day and bought for me some gorgeous Mexican-folk-style flowing dresses with colorful, bold embroidery all over them..)

It makes me sad that this beautiful, castle-like home has fallen into disrepair and outdated modishness, but I sincerely hope (as do my other friends who visited it) that someone buys it who will restore its magnificent glory, and perhaps even make it available to the public (such as in the form of a Bed & Breakfast, a museum/style house in the style of the Pittock Mansion, etc.)
