Love Art Deco

I have always loved Art Deco.  The shapes, the designs, the furniture, the buildings - the style just fascinates me.  When I first moved to Cincinnati I was driving in the car and I saw the Union Terminal Building.  I was enthralled.  I tried to figure out how to get there and I drove out front and took pictures.  At the time the building was not open to the public.  I couldn't wait for my chance to see it on the inside. It was opened in the 1930's a beautiful train station with wonderful murals.  It now houses the Cincinnati Museum Center.

Our son Danny and his wife Monica had their wedding reception in my other favorite Cincinnati Art Deco landmark, the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza formerly the Omni Netherland Hotel. It was opened in 1931.   There is beautiful Egyptian decor, flower motifs, ceiling murals, Rookwood fountain with matching seahorses.  Their  reception was housed in the Hall of Mirrors that was  modeled after the Palace of Versailles in Paris. The Continental Room, has striking floor-to-ceiling windows, gorgeous chandeliers and amazing frescoes of the four seasons.

Someday,  I will have a room in my house that is all Art Deco.  I think it will be the office for SVintageCollection.  I guess I will just have to keep collecting.
