When youth is at a premium with people paying top, and sometimes their last, dollar to look shiny and new the beauty of old things never really fades.
I’m currently in Detroit staying at The Siren. This boutique hotel, in the iconic Wurlitzer Building, mixes decor from different eras. The ceiling features the “original” tiles complete with holes that look like they’ve just had a pipe burst. There’s a beautiful antique bed in the lobby. The centerpiece is composed of dried flowers. There’s also the “original” marble stairs and amazing suspended glass light fixtures.
I’ve been walking around the city looking at amazing old architecture, buildings with amazing ornate carved stone and beautiful brass and iron accents.
I’m here to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Last night we reflected on years past. I look at our reflections in the antique aged mirror of the hotel lobby and wonder if our beauty is appreciated in the same way.
