You Decorated My Life

Lions Gate, 1938, Paul R. Williams, Bel Air, CA
I was most interested to hear that singer Kenny Rogers, had recently sold his Bel Air house, called Lions Gate, completely furnished~and for a mere $46 million!  Adding an extra sheen of polish to this property is that it was a Paul R. Williams design...

One of the many books about and by Paul R. Williams
 You must read up on this iconic California architect, for his life and work were truly amazing...
