Frank Lloyd Wright's Designs in Your Garden

Filed under: Decor, Art

If you fancy yourself a Frank Lloyd Wright fan and wish to emulate his designs in your backyard or patio this Oak Park Studio Vase may be of interest. The vase is a cast stone replica of the very object which decorated his Oak Park residence in Chicago. Illustrating one of his classic designs, the cross within a circle within a square, this strapping vase is available in three sizes with prices starting at $1,350. I imagine this would serve well as a plantar, birdbath, or decorative piece holding its own along a path or strategically placed on a patio.

Filed under: Estates

It's not exactly a Frank Lloyd Wright home but it is definitely inspired by the legendary architect. This home near Jackson, Wyoming was custom built for someone who definitely has a taste for the Arts and Crafts style. The woodwork here is stunning, especially the chandelier in the dining room. If you aren't a fan of this style it can all be a bit much but the overall theme is very consistent and rather restful. The four-bedroom home has an exterior of pressed brick, elaborate cornices, and wrap-around terraces. It sits on 5.37 acres and is listed at $11.4 million.

Although colorblock walls and various decals seem to be two of the hottest ways - not to mention the simplest - to dress up a room, there will always be room in the world of home decor for great wallpaper. Wallpaper can give you looks and textures that paint just can't quite match. Secondhand Rose stocks a wide variety of gorgeous vintage wallpaper, with famous and rare designs dating back to the 1860s. Prices range from $70 to $1,200 per roll, with the latter price applying to some of the Frank Lloyd Wright selections from the 1970s.
