A nice window

IMG_1399

The simple elegance of a 6 over 9 pane window combined with aged wood flooring… oh my.

The most attractive windows are an odd number of panes wide… the panes need to be taller than they are wide… and all of the panes on a house, regardless of the size of the window unit, should be matching as close as possible in size and proportion.

Chimneys

The only thing better than having a stone chimney is having two stone chimneys… uh… make that… three stone chimneys! wow!

Benefit of using salvaged materials

Roger has a nice farm stand, doesn’t he?
All it took to add some character to this structure was the use of some salvaged materials.

This old house

In her day, she was gorgeous.
To me, she still is.

Log cabin windows

The front facade of this cabin is very attractive… oh, so nice… The windows and front door are just perfect.
On the first floor the windows are 9 over 6’s, while on the second floor they are 6 over 6’s… and how about that precious window unit above the front door… Nice.
Yes, I struggle to ignore the replacement brick chimney on the end of the cabin… what were they thinking?

A Treehouse

I’ve built several basic ones… nothing as fancy as this nice one… but one day… one day… I’m going to do it!

A stone cottage in Autumn

A painting like this speaks for itself.

There is little that I can add to describe the beauty and permanence of a stone cottage.
