Sunday, October 6, 2013. WHAT MAKES A MEAL. T could be nothing more than a Goto. A glass. From Venice. Here's one of them above, hand blown. It was a gift from a friend who came to lunch earlier in the summer. He explained just what a Goto was. Hen the blowers of Murano had lunch they blew glasses for themselves out of leftover bits of glass that happened to be in their pots. Here was no scheme to it, as there would have been for a proper Murano product. What happened in the blowing happened. Sarahs Book...

Saturday, November 24, 2012. BETHESDA BY THE SEA. F England had a tropical village, in the deep South of the land, say, and if there were a church in such a place, and if it were a 20th century building created out of the requisite respect for its cultural origins, then it might well be this very church, in Palm Beach, the church of Bethesda by the Sea. Ould it have been the right choice, or completely wrong, to have planted, if you could, a Canary Island palm tree in the center of its courtyard? His hou...

Friday, July 26, 2013. East Ruston: A Garden Masterpiece. A NEW GENERATION OF GREAT ENGLISH GARDENS. Ucked away in far off Norwich The Old Vicarige of East Ruston. Is one of the most ambitious new gardens in all of the United Kingdom. Love it or hate it (and there are those who take strong positions on this) you can't deny that this is one of the greatest contributions to world horticulture of the new millenium. Here's also a very good nursery here and so the planting is generous. Here were people everyw...

Sunday, October 28, 2012. Welcome black in my decor. Just as the colonials did in Singapore in their black and white houses. I can see a "planter's chair" somewhere in the bargain. Nd in the kitchen, I went for it. Though there were doubts out there. Hree days left of work before the condo board shuts the door for the season to all contractors. Oo soon to take a bow. Give me another week. Paul Gervais de Bédée. Tuesday, October 23, 2012. Last Friday: Down to the Wire. AN ABSTRACTION OF PALM BEACH COLOR.

Sunday, September 22, 2013. We Once Had a King. THE ROYAL FAMILY OF ITALY. Ot everyone knows that Italy once had a king, as did all European countries in recent past. The last king of Italy, Umberto II (di Savoia), reigned for slightly over a month, from 9 May 1946 to 12 June 1946. However, he was de facto. Paul Gervais de Bédée. Tuesday, September 17, 2013. WHEN ART WORKS. FOR ME. O, this is not a Brigid Reilly. The great "Op" artist of the mid-twentieth century. It's a detail of a sign I saw at...A roo...

Gervais de Bédée: March 2013
http://gervaisdebedee.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. Ve always loved the concept of an inner courtyard. You enter a house and you feel that you have entered that house, having left the outside outside, and you are surprised and delighted to see that a bit of the outdoors awaits you within. His is a Moorish, or Perhaps Persian idea: isolating a bit of the outdoors, with its piece of sky and ground, and bringing it in so that it is surrounded by walls, a fragment of open air placed within the house as you might place a caged bird.

Sunday, August 25, 2013. The Garden at Blickling. Road strokes are what characterizes the garden at Blickling Hall, now under the direction of the National Trust. Implicity and clear lines are what compliment the complex movement of this 17th century architecture with its many towers and bays. T's a garden that looks to be the result of great decisions made on paper in the studio of a master. He park lands are handled very well. You yearn for a horse. Nd there are secret gardens in the wood. Blickling Ha...
