I thought I was seeing things. I didn't know anything about the park , other than what I saw in movies. Belvedere was the first name I considered for our new house.No Sacrifice Bagshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768755519910407042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-27423670680252025272011-02-23T15:19:41.928-05:002011-02-23T15:19:41.928-05:00Would actually living in rooms like these might be...Would actually living in rooms like these might be a bit off putting...

It's been my favorite room since I first saw it in high school. <br />We didn't really get to the American rooms -I prefer the continental ones (as they're a bit different from what I generally see in the mid atlantic region) and we only had limited time.ArchitectDesign™https://www.blogger.com/profile/01481754380363676771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-27804546993204874872011-02-22T16:10:26.519-05:002011-02-22T16:10:26.519-05:00I am glad you saw the Venetian bedroom; it is oft...I am glad you saw the Venetian bedroom; it is often missed because of the location. In the French period rooms, all the special lighting specified by Henri Samuel -- the focusing lens projectors -- were usually dark in the 80s and 90s because of the difficult to replace lamps; hopefully that situation has been rectified because I love those rooms so much. No comments on the American rooms? And there is an interesting Arabic room too. On another trip, the American rooms at the Brooklyn Museum are interesting, too.The Devoted Classicisthttp://tdclassicist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28651976363618994.post-46321557274021936622011-02-22T15:06:43.717-05:002011-02-22T15:06:43.717-05:00I adore the Met, of course.

My second favorite is the arms and armory which is pretty different but also beautiful. It's slightly alarming that they have a full set of armor for a 5 year old boy but I guess those were different times. Hope all is well! -Amber<br />p.s.
