A colourful card for the love of my life

Get in there and seal them up

2013 – House of Origin in review

One set of blue and one set of the purple RSVP envelopes.

We are being very careful with the removal of door frames etc so that we can reinstate them in their correct and original locations.

So many old and brittle tiles. Such a shame there is no chance to re-use them

Plaster cornices

A pair of large, green compositions cut up into tags

The Pantheon is probably the most moving architectural experience I have ever had. I was profoundly moved by the simplicity and clarity of the space and even though the room was full of people, I felt like I was still able to full appreciate the space.

So, as you may have noticed House of Origin as been a little absent from the bloggy-sphere for the first part of 2013.
