This is a truly beautiful work of art. The horologist that invests time here, I'm sure, would be thoroughly pleased. :-)

Aw, this was a very good post. Spending some time and actual effort to create a really
good article… but what can I say… I put things
off a whole lot and don't manage to get anything done.

I love how he documented his installation.

Very nice room... feels very tranquil comfortable, where one could get lost in one's own thoughts... ~Terri

Diane:

I am writing to ask your permission to use the second and 24th photos in your post above on my blog. I just love this transformation and would like to remember it! Of course, having moved relatively recently, I also love your blog and how it has introduced me to so many things design-related here in San Francisco.

Apologies for asking on this forum, but I'm don't know how else to contact you.

Thank you for your consideration!

Kindly,
Rachel

The amount of detail in this post is amazing, it is like a big magazine feature, or a small book! You are demonstrating how blogs can go deep without being repetitive.

Bravo,Brian! Your journal is such a treaty to the design process. Your daily adventures walks one through the musings,the historical references and the poetic inspirations so beautifully to create such a moment in time! Rodin, a great favorite,and his TIMELESS words play upon my my toes. Like the Showcase itself, which is temporal and fleeting, we experience your room and allow for it's visual expressions to infuse the soul,the eye,and try to capture it, quickly quickly, before it fades away.

I love seeing the creative process from beginning to end and never miss the showcase. I had the pleasure of seeing Grant K.Gibson's process of creating his gentleman's retreat from beginning to final presentation a few years back. It takes an incredible amount of talent and vision to transform a space like this, Congratulations Brian! Look forward to seeing it in person.

As they say, "I could not have happened to a nicer human being". Brian created a jewel of a room, quite deserving of such a thorough preview. Thank you Diane for also giving us some insight into his creative process, showing how such a personal passion can translate into a design everyone can relate to.

Cheers,
