That's beautiful. It must have been a lovely place to read, in the afternoon sun.

That design is so cool :)

Debbie Courson Smith said...

Yep - it's a wowza. Libraries tend to look much more institutional these days, rather than artistic.

I notice an interesting contrast between the geometrical pattern above and the more classical decoration below. Of the two I prefer the lower bit with that beautiful "old pink".

Julie, these are not tiles but painted walls :-)

I thought that was tile too. I'm even more impressed knowing it's painted.

The painted pattern gives a certain "3-D" feeling. Awesome!

The detail is and pattern is so colourful and intricate. If only we could do this now with buildings.

Painted. Wow! Painting will not be a durable as tiles, it must be a pain to maintain all that detail.
