I happened upon the New York Times article and slideshow about J. Morgan Puett and her property a couple weeks ago. Her home is incredible. She views it as an ever-changing work of art. There are so many beautiful objects and so much attention to detail. She also does summer artist-in-residencies and workshops. This looks like such a beautiful place to visit.
Here's a sliver of the article from the New York Times:
"Along with her 8-year-old son, Grey Rabbit, and a changing cast of friends and romantic partners, she has built a home that is an ongoing experiment in art, design and aestheticized living, an artist colony conceived in the communal spirit of 20th-century institutions like Roycroft and Black Mountain College, with her own house, just now being finished, at its heart."

ooh, thanks! Long ago, I used to really envy j. morgan puett, when she was a young fashion designer. she had graduated from the Art Institute of Chicago, and I wanted to go there and be her.
she seems like quite a woman to envy! i'm glad you enjoyed this, carlene! i want to go to her new place and be her!
Wow--this looks amazing! I'm off to read more...
everything she does there is so well thought out, but seems really spontaneous at the same time. i hope you enjoy it!
