Flights of Fancy

I would have loved to have a little hideaway like this when I was a kid.  What a place to escape and dream.  All the more whimsical because its part of designer Christopher Maya's formal Manhattan living space--and located right next to a Picasso.

“Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality;

they are also dress rehearsals, plans.

All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination.”

– Barbara Grizzuti Harrison

“The gift of fantasy has meant more to me

than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge.” – Albert Einstein

Have a wonderful weekend!
