Had a lovely trip to the Manitoga House in Garrison NY. My photos don’t do this place any justice lol, but it’s definitely worth the trip. We took the train from Grand Central to Cold Spring, (always a pleasant ride up the Hudson River.) From there, there is a cute little trolley that will take you right to Manitoga for just $2. The ride itself is beautiful with many stops around Putnam County.
Admiring the accomplishments of Russel and Mary Wright. They were such talented designers who helped shape American modern living. Their home was a beautiful culmination of their design philosophy- they believed in a more casual lifestyle, with open floor plans and a connection to nature.
I’ve been curious about their book Guide to Easier Living - as it has been referenced to being their manifesto. I am stoked to find that the Internet Archive has it here for all to read. Thank you, to the individual who put this online. I have yet to read through it, but will report back with any noteworthy takeaways.
Thanks for reading and hope you are enjoying your summer ☀️☀️☀️
