I’ve been addicted to navy for the past year. Most of my black clothes have been replaced with navy. As soon as I get to it, my master bedroom is getting painted navy. Love it.

I really like this idea. It goes so well with modern industrial home decor.

I almost forgot, before I read the links and NY Times article…Arcosanti is near 4000′ elevation, so the surrounding land will be reaching prime springtime starting in a few weeks, and into early or mid-May. If I drive next trip to Phx, I may spend more time there and nearby, in places I usually just drive past at 80 to get here in 6 hours.

My late father and I went up to Arcosanti one toasty spring day 15+ years ago, from my brother’s house in N Phx. We were extremely underwhelmed, but now with more experience in this field, perhaps I’ll see it with new eyes? Thanks for the link, I’l check it out.

Thanks Susan for the great post. As a wise man once said “Good design doesn’t cost, but it pays.”

I grew up in this town, passing this house from the street. I went to High School across the street from this house, and my father now lives down the street. I’ve always been curious about what was there! Thank you for posting this!

Sara–Thank you for visiting. I’m thrilled that as an interior designer you are interested in what I have to say…we’re not that far apart discipline wise!

Pat–That’s one of the nicest things anyone has said to me in a long, long time. Thank you!

You prove over and over again that design is where you see it. Keep your eyes open!
