Florida trip: THE PINEWOOD ESTATE


Pinewood Estate is a beautiful home on the Bok Tower property.
Nestled in the heart of seven and one-half lush acres at Bok Tower Gardens is Pinewood Estate, the enchanting 20-room Mediterranean-style mansion. Originally named “El Retiro,” meaning “retreat” in Spanish, the Estate was built in the early 1930s for Charles Austin Buck, a Bethlehem Steel vice president.


A beautiful kitchen garden contains these large heads of lettuce....

and quinoa.

I loved the layout of this kitchen cupboard holding everyday dinnerware.

The bathrooms intriqued me with their colorful tilework.

And always the beautiful carved doors.

Beautiful!
