Farmhouse living

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:49+00:00

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)

No chinking

No chinking required on this old tobacco barn. The owner chose to fill in all the gaps between the logs with wood making the barn easier to maintain and to keep animals out.

An office loft

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:35+00:00

A timber framed attic space can create such a charming room.

It’s a shame that so many timber frame companies focus on “grand… on huge… on sweeping… massive… and barn like” and ignore the potential of creating intimate spaces.

(BTW… I designed and built this one)

Cabin art

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:34+00:00

Can a home be built that would be considered “art”… would this cabin be one of those?

(Art, noun: the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power).

Get outside! :)

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:32+00:00

Here’s to your health!

Studies have shown that blood pressure rates drop when people look at a photo of the outdoors.

Imagine how how healthy it must be to go out there.

And so with that in mind, when you build that next home of yours, make sure and create spaces outside that will lure you from the comforts of the interior.

A handmade house is more than a home (as if that wasn’t enough). It’s also a way of life.

I do appreciate those moments in life where the only sound heard is that of birds singing.

Outside living

Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:07:15+00:00

One advantage to a small home, a home that isn’t too comfortable, is that there is more motivation to get outside. And, that’s a good thing. There are wondrous things out there.

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?
