A person hasn’t truly lived until they have slept under sheets dried on a clothesline.
(and… oh, yeah… I do need to stay on topic… lol… the house is wonderful too)

Why not choose a proven design?

The classic farmhouse.
Two centuries later, still so fine.
All she is needs is some attention, and a loving family.
I guess the same holds true for all of us.

Locasted at the Frontier Museum in Staunton, Viriginia… well worth the trip to see this and many other vintage styles of early American and European homes.

A home made of wood

A house made of wood is still a thing of beauty, as she ages and slowly returns to the earth. Even in such a state of disrepair I find myself admiring this home.
Timeless in her charm.
I doubt if future generations will feel the same about the vinyl and formaldehyde creations that are being left behind for them.
So, what do you say?
How about when we build we choose to use natural products, as much as we can.
And, let’s give plenty of thought to the designs of our homes.
We can try to reinvent the wheel and come up with the next great look… or… we can look around and discover what has been proven to be admired for centuries.

Log farmhouse

One of the reasons we have so many fine old cabins today is that they were sided over shortly after being built, which protected them from any weather issues. This log home was likely built of logs for the ability to build a strong home at a reasonable price, not for the sake of the beauty of having a log house. The style of the home, the use of brick chimneys, the condition of the logs, and the extra wide window trim are all clues to this home having once stood as white farmhouse that we so often seen along back country roads.

Here we have one of the appendages to George Washington’s home… Mt Vernon.

Amazing isn’t she?

So simple, yet perfection, found in simplicity.

Home sweet home… Certainly there are cabins out there just as fine as this one,  but not many.
