I’m afraid that the days we have left to enjoy the front porch are few in number.
There is something about adding a bright color to a cabin… it somehow makes it more “civilized”.

Is this little red house trying to hide behind that pine tree? lol
What a sweet little home.
This house has been “placed” perfectly… visually she is safely tucked-in next to the hillside behind her.
I would have designed and built the addition a little differently… perhaps recessing it a bit so that the charm of the main part of the house was more up “front and center” and thus focusing my eye mainly on it.
But other than that, I’m green with envy over this red charmer.

We are so fortunate to live in a world that offers us wood in which to build our homes.

Here we have two wonderful stone cottages.
Each of equal size and craftsmanship.
Which would you choose?
The artsy one… (the one with big boulders)?
Or, the traditional one?

To paint something red is a bold move.

Oh my.
She is so fine.
When contemplating the design and construction of a home, the first decision to be made is “quality vs quantity”.
The owner of this small stone home chose the highest level of quality. They could have had a vinyl clad home, twice as large as this one, for the same price.
It’s a tough choice to make.
Living small is challenging, while living large is so tempting.
We naturally want both, quality and quantity, but few people have the financial resources for a large home built as well as it can be.
So, is quality worth the cost?

There is something wonderful about owning a home that is located at the end of a trail.
Or along a river…

Trees have a tendency to sneak up on log cabins… sometimes they even try to get up on the front porch!
I have found that people who love log cabins also love trees and that they find it very difficult to cut any of them down. This photo, of a tree encroaching upon this cabin, is a scene that I have witnessed many times.
And, is this tree trying to hug this cabin?
Who could blame it?

The little sign near the front door reads… “Bliss”.
Most appropriate, don’t you think?
