Hand Painted Furniture Unique Lime Green Table / Desk with Huge Red / Hot Pink Flower

We enjoyed the magnificent Conrad Hotel, Dublin, Ireland in November 2016 during our 2nd stay at this beautiful landmark of hospitality which was recently renovated to a modern high standard. From the location, the exterior/interior design, the Deluxe Room to the memorable Coburg Brasserie for our dinner and breakfast, plus room service, we highly recommend this thoroughly gorgeous luxury hotel in the heart of the Irish Capital, near the National Concert Hall and St Stephen’s Green Park.
At first I was taken by the fabulous cabinetry in this 1955 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith limousine.
then as I looked further, I saw that the opulent interior of this rare touring limo was from a bygone era. Highly-figured banded walnut opens to provide passengers with crystal tumblers, toiletries, a full bar, cut crystal decanters, bottle openers, and recesses for tonic water bottles, sandwich box and a full writing table. Ic case this isn't enough, riders can delight in the warmth of the mink lap blanket with Rolls Royce insignia !

Monticello was built by Thomas Jefferson between 1769 and 1809. Rejecting the British Georgian architecture that characterized his time, he instead chose to design the main house using neoclassical principles in the 16th-century Italian style of Andrea Palladi for this three-story, 33-room home with nearly 11,000 square feet of living space.
The Library, or book room, was originally part of Jefferson's private suite and is where he kept his library of over 6,500 books. During the War of 1812, the British burned the US Capitol in Washington, DC, along with the congressional library, so in 1815 Jefferson sold his collection of books, maps and pamphlets, which would become the nucleus of the present Library of Congress. After the sale Jefferson wrote to John Adams, "I cannot live without books," and began reaccumulating. Much of his new library was sold after his death to pay his debts and today only a few original volumes remain from the retirement library. The other books on display are the same titles and editions as the originals. Among the special surviving Jefferson possessions are his French architect's table, an astronomical tall case clock, chairs from New York and Paris, and an octagonal table. In contrast to the colorfully decorated Cabinet and Bed Chamber, the Library was plainly finished with whitewashed walls, off-white cornice and gray-blue baseboards.
Initially called a "writing table", Jefferson commissioned this octagonal table from Thomas Burling, a New York cabinetmaker, in 1790. He used the table to store his unanswered correspondence in the eight drawers labeled "A B C," etc. A special lock from London secured all of the drawers with one turn of its key.
Situated on the summit of an 850-foot high park in the Southwest Mountains south of the Rivanna gap, Monticello, whose name derives from Italian meaning "little mountain", was originally a 5,000 acre plantation cultivated tobacco and mixed crops using the labor of enslaved African people. After Jefferson's death, his daughter Martha Jefferson Randolph sold the property to Uriah P. Levy who preserved the property and left it to his nephew Jefferson Monroe Levy, who eventually sold it in 1923 to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which operates it as a house museum and educational institution.

My travels around the UK by car for three weeks with my son. June/July 2019 Scotland.
Day Nineteen .. visiting Cragside in England before making our way down to Ravenscar for the night.
Cragside, the dream home of Lord and Lady Armstrong – a Victorian house that was light-years ahead of its time. The home of hydroelectricity, Lord and Lady Armstrong used their wealth, art and science in an ingenious way. What began as a modest country retreat quickly became one of the most technologically advanced homes of the Victorian age.
It was the home of William Armstrong, 1st Baron Armstrong, founder of the Armstrong Whitworth armaments firm. An industrial magnate, scientist, philanthropist and inventor of the hydraulic crane and the Armstrong gun, Armstrong also displayed his inventiveness in the domestic sphere, making Cragside the first house in the world to be lit using hydroelectric power. The estate was technologically advanced; the architect of the house, Richard Norman Shaw, wrote that it was equipped with "wonderful hydraulic machines that do all sorts of things". In the grounds, Armstrong built dams and lakes to power a sawmill, a water-powered laundry, early versions of a dishwasher and a dumb waiter, a hydraulic lift and a hydroelectric rotisserie. In 1887, Armstrong was raised to the peerage, the first engineer or scientist to be ennobled, and became Baron Armstrong of Cragside.

I know this picture is a bit too dark. I don't know but I thought it quite nice and classy - the morning view from a hotel window. I have not taken any lessons in photography, so I may be wrong.
