In A Castle: Hearst Castle


Hearst Castle Estate

The history of a castle and at what age or era it stood as someone's home is a couple of the many reasons that make castles in general, of interest.  We wonder what kind of lives were lead  and how did someone go about decorating a castle so that it was home to them.  I am in the belief that as a space gets larger it becomes harder to properly decorate,  I would perhaps find myself a minimalist for the first time if ever having to facing the daunting task of decorating any space larger than my modest Los Angeles apartment.  My sudden interest in castle interiors have led me to compile a few pictures of the famous Hearst Castle in San Simeon, California that I'm sure you will enjoy.
