Found this fun piece at a thrift store:
Nothing fancy but thought the 3d houses were neat. Hard to see in the picture but they jut out in more boxy square sections.
Finished the mirrored half of my window corner! Swipe to see the whole window. My living room feels complete!
Found this amazing piece at an architectural salvage yard
It was expensive and I don’t have the skills to restore it, but I can’t stop thinking about how beautiful this piece is!

قصر الأمير محمد علي The Manial Palace of Prince Mohammed Ali
This is a breathtaking architectural masterpiece located in Cairo, Egypt. Commissioned by Prince Mohammed Ali Tewfik (1875–1955), the palace complex was uniquely designed by the prince himself to showcase a spectacular fusion of diverse Islamic art styles, integrating Mamluk, Ottoman, Moorish, and Andalusian architecture alongside modern European touches.
The palace is renowned for its rich artistic and historical character, featuring walls and ceilings filled with intricate plant motifs, geometric patterns, masterfully crafted arabesque woodwork, Arabic calligraphy, Quranic verses, and wise aphorisms. The estate is divided into several remarkable structures, including the Reception Palace with its famous Damascus halls, the grand Throne Palace designed in Ottoman opulence, and the Residential Palace which features a medieval-style defensive tower.
Enhancing its beauty, a mosque adorned with rare Turkish Iznik tiles stands next to a Moorish-styled clock tower, all surrounded by a legendary botanic garden containing rare cacti and exotic trees collected from all around the world. Today, the palace operates as a preservation museum, standing as a living testament to royal luxury and Islamic art history.
