Both of these modest home’s designs are considered “Colonial”.
The first one is two hundred years old.
And, the second one is relatively new.
Can you see how much architectural design has improved over the course of two centuries?
NOT!

Now here we have a wonderful rustic kitchen… it’s not everyone’s dream kitchen but you do have to admit that it is a piece of art. The designer of this kitchen clearly thought “out of the box”, had a nice collection of antique cookware, and wanted to showcase it all. They did a great job at it.

A house can be designed and built in such a way as to compliment the landscape. When that happens a house becomes more than just a place where people live, it becomes a work of art.

I can’t help but notice that no board on this cabin is cut exactly right… each is to some degree a little too long.
Better too long than too short.
I know from experience that when building a home with the aid of a handsaw, rather than an electric one, that work is often performed “good enough”… not “perfect”.

A house that is cute… and shy.
Just barely peaking above the fence line.
A modest home… even for it’s day… yet it has two masonry chimneys, a metal roof, wood siding, a large front porch, and attractive windows… all features missing in most new homes today selling for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The smallest house in Charleston, South Carolina.
As cute as a button.
I’m sure it’s admired and loved by everyone there.
And, I’m equally sure it’s now illegal to build another one as small as this.
Go figure.
