Nouveau Sort of Way

And, oh, I could live and work in a place designed by Mucha. It would be warm and cozy as well, in a nouveau sort of way.

Alphonse Mucha — Design for Documents décoratifs — 1902

Today I have a vast collection of art nouveau books, some out of print that I cherish.
Whenever I want to relax, and go back to simpler times, I pull out a book and reminisce in what should have been, lol.; November 6, 2011 at 5:54 AM
