classic inspiration
Despite the sad state of Lebanon's infrastructure {due to the Civil War in the 80s & 90s and recent political unrest}, Lebanon is full of beautiful ancient ruins dating back to the Canaanites, Phoenicians, and Romans. {OKAY I ADMIT IT- I'm an art history nerd!} I was completely inspired by the architecture, art, materials, and especially the classic patterns that are so in right now. Did you know that we owe much of the fabulous geometrics, trellis', and key patterns to the Greeks & Romans? Check it out...
i think you may be living my dream life;) love it all..what an experience!
