These are some “sight seeing” photos I took two weeks ago at NYC’s Central Park. My boyfriend and I call the fleur-de-lis motif “our symbol”, so I am always on the look out for it wherever I go. A major theme in decorating currently is the Heraldic look, so I’ve been trying to work in small touches of motifs such as the fleur-de-lis, lions, and family crests. You can learn the history of crests, get some inspiration, and buy your own custom crest and coats of arms on the site http://www.fleurdelis.com. I want to include the Heraldic theme in my home by doing something similar to these pictures, which appears in interior designer Kelly Wearstler’s book, “Modern Glamour: The Art of Unexpected Style”.
I love how you have found our favorite symbol from so far away. We just can’t get enough down here in the south.
