Colin's apartment is an absolute jewel. While I had arrived too late in the evening to take in the area museums, from the moment I entered the dooryard and minimalist sculpture garden, I knew I was in for a treat. Colin has brought out the best in this more-than-a-century-old building's architecture, down to the (?walnut?) framed oak floors~ a stunning flourish! and mixed contemporary and mid-century modern furnishings with eclectic art... Everywhere the eye rests, there's something beautiful or interesting to linger on. The kitchen and living room are spacious and welcoming, beautifully lit, to highlight objects and wall art. It's a gorgeously designed space. Even in the kitchen, there's a writing desk with a 1960's style wall sharpener! I'm particular about comfortable beds, and in this one, I slept soundly. Appreciated being able to close the French doors that filtered in the morning light. Loved the claw foot bathtub!
Colin, I'm sorry I had to leave so early that I did not get to meet you but I felt completely pampered! Thank you so much for your generous hospitality!
