I wish Home was Art Nouveau




I got to see the Grand Palais at it's grand re-opening a couple of years ago. Amazing. The original building was constructed in 1900 for the World's Fair and fell into disrepair until 15 years of restoration got it back to its original glory.


Here are some other Art Nouveau related images that make me swoon:

That staircase is stunning! Imagine the amount of work that went into that.
