Doors - were (or were not) inspired by. . .

The aesthetic (of these two new solid walnut+ doors, either was or was not inspired by our local Frank Lloyd Wright house.  Honestly, I'm not sure.  Consciously, it was not.  But last week, after I delivered the Phil Campbell table back to the Rosenbaum House Gift Shop (for a few more weeks on display), as i was driving off, in my peripherals, I noticed almost the same design/balance/aesthetic in the exterior wall of the home.  With closer inspection, Director Libby Jordan, reminded me that the walls are a good example of Wright's Usonian construction;  Cedar interior and exterior sandwiching pine. 

Either way, inspired specifically by the Rosenbaum House board and batten design or not, I'm quite proud to see - even just a glimmer of similarity in "our ;)" work.

Just to be clear, if there's any confusion, he's the master.  No Question.  I'm honored to be the student.
