a georgian

NYTimes featured Tim Gunn recently. (I'm not entirely enthralled by the way the article is written ... I hardly learned anything about Gunn) I'm in love with his miniature Georgian mansion though. I'm in love with anything functional and looks soo good.

"About 10 years ago he was shopping with his mother in an antiques store in Maryland when he spotted, and fell for, a large miniature English Georgianish house. At $1,700 it was either a new piece or a reproduction. Fashioned as a bar, it came complete with a table base. Though he and his mother argued over the wisdom of a property that was at once too grand and too modest, he was surprised a few months later to find that she had bought it for him as a gift."
