Stones of Venice

June 23, 2014 by Susan Bednar Long Leave a Comment

When I was a teenager, my high school art teacher gave me a copy of The Stones of Venice, by John Ruskin. Looking back, this gift was strangely significant. The book, no doubt, planted the seed of my love affair with Venice, but also my eventual career path.

First published in three volumes in the early 1850s, The Stones of Venice serves both as a lesson on the rules of architecture—covering construction and decoration—as well as a history of Venice through its iconic structures. During my recent visit to the city, I thought often of Ruskin’s work as I took in the intricate stone floors, carvings, and other architectural details.

Here’s a collection of particularly impressive stonework, much of which is at the Doge’s Palace—my all-time favorite historical building in Venice:

Welcome!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by design and the subtle impact of our surroundings. Some of my earliest influences still resonate – I think of the dark woods and textured lodens of my father’s shooting club, the smell of fresh paint on a new canvas, and the bold symmetry of the Philip Johnson Glass house just down the street. For me, it was a natural path to become an Interior Designer. I love what I do. I’ve created this Blog to share my thoughts, finds and design inspirations. I hope you enjoy it!

We designed each bedroom at @lemasdespoiriers to h We designed each bedroom at @lemasdespoiriers to have its own personality. This one is tucked in the back hallway and is a great combination of sage green and soft blues pulling from the @lamaisonpierrefrey floral.  My favorite design detail is the custom painted lines along the baseboard that continues around the interior doorways adding a layer of color to compliment the fabrics.  #FrançaisFriday
