Shiny black floors and flat files

Architect daughter would kill for this room, Sam do you see this post?

I believe I’ve posted this before. But yes, I ADORE this space. Glass Library tangent to working space. And Oh, the flat files.

Monarch Samantha,

My daughter just sent me her Halloween costume photo from her cell phone. Isn’t she darling? She hand painted all the wings and stiched it together herself! This is the first year I haven’t helped either girl with their costume. A little sad but joyful too, my butterflys have flown!

Happy Halloween!

My first attempt at hand making a costume…. I’d say it’s successful.

Designed by Paul Williams, a black architect who learned to draw upside down so he didn’t make his white, racist clients, uncomfortable.
