Fall Home Design: 20 memorable NW Living moments (plus 5 bonus bathtubs!)
THEY FLASH LIKE FIREFLIES: vivid, unbidden, briefly flitting mini-memories — sometimes individually, sometimes in a swarm, always somewhat magically. Out of the dim twilight of that nowhere bridging Right This Second and Some Other Time, they materialize: a home. A room. A setting. A conversation.

A Panorama of Design – The New York Times
This article is part of our latest Design special report, about creative people finding fresh ways to interpret ideas from the past. Remaking a London Landmark The Victorian-era retail entrepreneur William Whiteley long dreamed of building a London emporium to rival the Crystal Palace in its grandeur, a place where, as he purportedly put it, you could buy everything from a pin to an elephant. But in 1907, he was murdered by a man claiming to be his son, and it was left to his acknowledged sons to realize his vision. Working with Belcher & Joass, leading neo-Baroque architects of the day, they created a sprawling department store on Queen’s…
