Some of us enjoy color.

My friend Tom's place in NY done by Miles Redd. The room glows when he lights candles:

A strong color makes a statement sometimes:

The point of my post is to say that color and interesting use of materials is alive and well!

It does however pay to have very interesting architecture.[/quote]
