It was hot and smoky outside last week in NYC so we visited the Frick and had late lunch in the Westmorland Cafe. It is a nicely designed space with a beautiful landscape mural around the top of the wall, patinated mirror wall tiles, pretty translucent curtains, and other nice details.

I just returned from a weekend at Yosemite National Park. We enjoyed the fall colors and the stunning natural beauty, but there are also some nice architectural details in the park. The Ahwahnee Hotel is full of decoration and geometric designs. Painted decoration, upholstery, and patterns made of wood and steel are everywhere. The Wawona Hotel, at the other end of the park is a timepiece from the early 1900s with simple white-painted buildings and cute pine cone chandeliers in the dining room.
