today thru this weekend! Miller House Prints at Dwell on Design, LA!

Let's face it...this is the money shot from the Miller House. The main living area with the first "conversation pit".

Today thru Sunday you can see this and 6 more image printed large (20x30", and 30x40"!!) on display (and for sale...shoot me an email if you are interested!) at the Dwell on Design conference in LA. I've been told they look really pretty but I am heading over today to see for myself. Here is one more that will be there. I haven't showed this one to you all yet...happy weekend everyone!

miller house/outtake

A view of the Miller's master bath. Xenia collected this blue glass (it is literally all over the house) and I love the way Girard picked up on the exact color in the curtains. Not sure if this is one of his textiles or not. I believe the color of the curtains changed with the warmer months as it did in the conversation pit (the color scheme of the pillows changed bi-annually).

harry weese/columbus, indiana

First Baptist Church by Harry Weese. Weese built more than 5 building around town in Columbus. Frankly, I was not familiar with him. Looks like I am going to have to do some research...Have a good weekend!

Eero Saarinen/ Columbus, Indiana

How would you like this to be your bank? Yeah...me too. Another of Eero Saarinen's buildings in Columbus, Indiana. It is a perfect time capsule too - the interiors are pretty much as designed. When I drove into town for the first time I saw this bank lit up at night. My jaw dropped...I stared for awhile and got a honk from the car behind me (oh...is that light green???). I mean come on....look at those lights! And in the safe deposit area, the doors hinge in the middle (bottom image).

Eero Saarinen/ Columbus, Indiana

Eero Saarinen's North Christian Church in Columbus, Indiana. What is there to say? The pictures say it all...damn fantastic. Alexander Girard did the interiors. I found the dark wood and concrete a bit of a surprise. Not many churches really feel like sacred spaces to me. This room is the most sacred space I have ever been in.

my current obsession/

Back in California and happy to have just missed the snow that fell in Indianapolis last week. This week I will share the images I shot in Columbus, Indiana and the treasures of modern architecture there. But today I had to share this image. For some reason, this was the image I was thinking about the entire plane ride back. I shot it in Eero Saarinen's North Christian Church in Columbus - it was just a little side meeting room there. I keep staring at it trying to figure out why I like it so much. It is kind of perfect in its absolute genericness, but I think it is something more. Frankly, I'm still not sure what the obsession is all about. Any thoughts?
