Incredible Architecture!

<div style="text-align: center;">Several weeks ago while I was looking at Greet's beautiful blog <a href="http://belgianpearls.blogspot.com/">Belgian Pearls</a>, I came across one of her posts highlighting a beautiful home in Charlotte, North Carolina.  I was so taken by this home and was happy to see that Greet had done the work for us in finding out who this architect was.   The architect's name is <a href="http://www.ruardveltmanarchitecture.com/">Ruard Veltman</a>.  Below you will see the beautiful architectural elements this man has created.  Thank you Greet for finding this incredible architect/website and enlightening us with new twists on European architecture!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
