When it comes to comfort, a clawfoot tub cannot be beat.
Here we have a modern take on the traditional soaking tub.
I encourage all my clients that when the time comes to pick out their tub that it is important that they get into the tub on the showroom floor, sit down, and lean back… most modern tubs, including Jacuzzis, are instruments of torture in comparison to these cast iron classics.

It’s this time of year that I like to remember that there are handmade houses of a different kind in a much warmer place. 🙂

There’s a lot to be admired about a home that has good fencing.
A new home built on a raw piece of land tends to be a little bit out of place until outbuildings and a perhaps a bit of fencing is added. These extras tend to anchor a home to the environment.

Within nearly every old mill you will likely discover a massive timber frame structure.
It takes great strength to withstand the might of a river, the movements of large machinery, and the weight of tons of grains.
A timber frame is up to the task.
And if it works for a mill… just imagine how well it serve you as part of your home.

Here we have a peek inside of one of the outdoor kitchens in Colonial Willamsburg.
Notice the pattern of the brick… not only of the floor… but of the fireplace.
Today we are blessed with a boundless variety of attractive brick, but for some unknown reason very few people bother to choose any other pattern of laying these brick than the monotonous “running bond” pattern that is seen practically everywhere… from brick ranchers to shopping malls.
