vanderblt mansion 5th avenue new york city

I took a photograph this morning of a print I found on eBay. 

This was the home of  Cornelius Vanderbilt II, son of William Henry Vanderbilt, grandson of Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt and older brother to George Washington Vanderbilt, builder and owner of the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC.

I'm fascinated by this house so I keep looking for articles and photographs of it to use as inspiration.

I've neglected this blog for a few days. Trying to figure out a way to make it more interesting.

Lists every day are kind of boring. So I've decided to just post interesting items (and some lists too) to help those who have writer's block.

Statues are a great way to kick start some writing. Whether they resemble children, angels, pets or something else, take a closer look at one the next time you come across it. You might be amazed at the ideas you come up with.
