Loving Frank

Last year, for book club, I read a book called Loving Frank about american architect Frank Lloyd Wright, its a novel based on his personal and romantic life. And last weekend I had the opportunity to go and see for myself a Frank Lloyd Wright (FLW) designed house!!!

My friend Angie, who made a better description of the house, mentioned on her blog she was going... I made a comment about how interesting it would be to see it after reading the book (or something to that effect) and she was kind enough to invite me over.

The house itself was VERY interesting, everything had a paralelogam shape, and sharp angles, even the beds were paralelograms!!! And of course they had to get the bed linens custom made, but then again, most of the items inside the house were too.

If you'd like more information about the house, visit this website.

El anio pasado me toco leer un libro llamado Amando a Frank para el club de lectura, que trata sobre el arquitecto estadounidense Frank Lloyd Wright, es una novela basada en su vida personal y romantica. Y el fin de semana pasado tuve la oportunidad de ir a ver por mi misma una casa disenada por el!!!

Mi amiga Angie, quien hizo una mejor descripcion sobre la casa, menciono en su blog que iba a ir... Y yo deje un comentario de que se me haria interesante ir a verla despues de haber leido el libro (o algo asi) y ella, amablemente, me invito a ir.

La casa en si esta MUY interesante, todo tiene forma de paralelogramo, y hay muchas cosas picudas (angulosas), hasta las camas son paralelogramos!!! Asi que como se imaginaran hasta necesitaron sabanas y colchas hechas a la medida, aunque claro que casi todo dentro de la casa era asi.
