Favorite Los Angeles destination of Me...Mood Designer Fabrics' LA brick & mortar!!

If you like to sew or love fabric, this is the best place to visit!

Terrazzo: the Next New Old Thing!

This epic old sidewalk design can be seen in front of Clifton's, a downtown restaurant in LA.

New use for the enticing material: our daughter-in-law and son, aka Besler and Sons, developed fascinating decorator geometric statues called "Props" for various uses and enjoyment. The small, attractive objects come in various colors, from stern black/grey/white to evocative candy tones.

Attainable, functional and enjoyable. Recently featured in the New York Times (not fake news this time ;-) .

Big City Twins...designed by the same architect.

First, in LA, the older and smaller Westin Bonaventure Hotel; next a revisit to the Renaissance Center in Detroit (that was one of my favorite snaps from that trip--thanks to Hubsy). Both are 1970's confections designed by John Portman.

Not such great photos of my favorite delicacy of art deco architecture in LA, the Eastern Columbia Building on Broadway. Lavish, butter-blue terra cotta, laced with gold trim! A mountain of eye-candy, at least.
