The timeless beauty of a stone home

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:12+00:00

I am often amazed at the stunning beauty of a stone home.

Stone is such a primitive building material, as basic as it comes. And yet when laid properly, into a classic design, all it needs is the simplest of embellishments… such as painted trim-work and perhaps some window shutters… we achieve a home as elegant as can be built.

Timeless.

Trees and houses

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:11+00:00

Would you want to have a tree this close to your house?

I do love my trees. But, I’d be mighty nervous during a lighting storm in this little cabin.

And, if the tree were ever to be blown over, and for some reason it didn’t fall on the house, we all know that the root ball of a pine tree spreads wide and would likely lift the end of the house off of the ground.

But still, the tree adds so much to the charm of this house… it is what makes it unique… so how about you? keep it? or cut it?

It’s just a single chair

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:10+00:00

And yet this photo is art.

Why is that?

The same chair located in any room of a new home would lose all it’s charm.

So what is it about this room that transforms the world of routine into the realm of art?

Dreams do come true

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods

What is it about water?

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:08+00:00

Now this might be an extreme example… might… well, it is.

But, there is no doubt about it that water features add so much to the beauty of a home.

Handmade stone cottage

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:06+00:00

They didn’t buy manufactured building materials.
They clearly didn’t follow directions.
They didn’t build like everyone else does.
And now they reap what they have sown.
I’m so jealous.

Stepped Stonework

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:04+00:00

Here we have an interesting old cabin out of the mid-West. Perhaps, Arkansas or Oklahoma.This people in this area of the country tend to use a lot of “steps” when building their stone chimneys.
