One more reason to love the color red

One advantage to painting a home the color red is so that you can find it on a snowy day!

An Inglenook
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:25:12+00:00
Now that’s a fireplace!
In fact, some would call this an “inglenook”… a fireplace designed so that a place to sit down near the fire was part of the design.

Too small?

As cute as it can be… but is it too small?

Outbuildings
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:25:03+00:00
A “homeplace” is more than just a house.
The surrounding outbuildings are just as important to the daily lives of those who live there. Outbuildings tend to draw us out of the main house where we will then find ourselves enjoying the great outdoors.
And that, is a good thing.
Focused attention needs to be given to these minor structures with regard to design and location.

Vernacular roof
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:24:59+00:00
The cabin may be small.
But, the roof is tall.
The roof is dramatic isn’t it?
Here in Virginia this roof would appear odd, but over in Scandinavia, this roof would be perfect.
Building a home in an area so that it appears to belong there should be the goal of every builder.

Timber framing
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:24:57+00:00
It doesn’t take that much more effort, nor that much more material, to frame up a home with timbers rather than by using laminated lumber from Home Depot, but the difference in appearance and durability is amazing.

Mountain views… or water frontage?
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:24:47+00:00
It’s very rare that you can have both, views and water. Most would choose the mountain views… which I love… but my choice is water.

Still standing

You know, she may not be the most attractive home, but thanks to her construction of timber and stone, she still stands strong after many years.

Majestic cookstove

The brand of this stove is Majestic. They picked the right name didn’t they?
