I had the wonderful privilege this weekend to FINALLY visit the New York City Public Library... I can't believe it took 20+ years of living in New York to finally visit such a mind blowing place!
It feels as though born and raised New Yorkers go through life without actually realizing the beautiful city they live in. SO full of history, design, art, love, and much more!... this definitely has inspired me to once in a while take a break from my hectic life and enjoy everything this amazing city has to offer.
Once I stepped foot into the NYC Public Library I was completely mesmerized... This 19th century iconic building represents true architecture and design. Now-a-days we don't really see newly built buildings with such detail and thought using luxurious materials such as hand carved marble and wood.
Every single square inch of this masterpiece is so finely detailed that even thinking about the amount of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears makes me lightheaded. There was not one tiny area of this building that wasn't decorated and thought out.
Below are some quick images I took during my visit there... The coloring of each room, the perspectives, fine details, carvings, paintings, beautiful proportions, ornate ceilings and walls were just beyond absolutely stunning!
Visiting the library this weekend has really opened my eyes and showed me that I really do need to take a break once in a while and soak in all of the art and creativity NYC has to offer.
It has most definitely helped my creative mind go into full gear... maybe a new collection based on NYC experiences?!
You will just have to wait and see...................!
