The historic Landmark Center in downtown St. Paul. Full of dark meticulously carved woods, old world chandeliers and an epic atrium of marble, columns and light.

The epic atrium at the historic Landmark Center in downtown St. Paul. Very European feeling, rising four stories up to soft-lit skylights, surrounded and supported by a multitude of columns upon a reflective marble floor.

Our perfect little holiday tree - the right height, shape and smell.

Our little house decorated (subtly, not garish) for the holiday season. Christmas trees, lights and snow. Sing along: "It's the most wonderful time..."

I really enjoy trolling through antique stores and finding things of beauty and wonder. Look at those aged designs and packages. Great.
