From the first time I saw the style of Art Nouveau, I loved it. If asked, it would be my favorite historical period of interior and exterior design. The famous whiplash imagery is what draws me in. One of the countries booming with Art Nouveau influence in the 1890s was Belgium. There are many things that are distinctly Belgium: Belgium waffles, Belgium beer, and Victor Horta. I admire Victor Horta's Art Nouveau style. Therefore, I am providing a tribute to Art Nouveau and Victor Horta. These are so beautiful.

I really really really love the modern application of this great staircase railing. I wouldn't personally want it in my home, but it is so great in this space!
