Dear followers,
I apologize for my extended absence. Over the last several months I have been busy with applying to graduate school and working on my undergraduate thesis on domestic architecture and interior decoration in Regency Paris (1715-23). But starting today, I will be back to sharing my favorite works of art and architecture, with a particular emphasis on the decorative arts of eighteenth-century France and Italy.
On another note, I am delighted to announce that, this Fall, I will begin work on a Master of Arts degree in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture at the Bard Graduate Center in New York City.

Dear followers,
I apologize for not having been as active on my blog in recent weeks as I would have liked to be. I am pleased to annonce that I will be travelling to Rome in a few days and have created a blog to document my experience. My time in Rome will be academically oriented, and thus my blog will be equally academic in nature. I hope you all will follow it and give me feedback.

I look forward to sharing my journey with you all!
Best,
