It’s amazing

Wondrous things happen when the heart, the mind, and the hands, come together to create.

The original tiny house
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:06:39+00:00
Some say that Henry David Thoreau was the founder of the current interest in tiny home living.
I have long admired Thoreau, and his book “Walden”, is among my favorites.
The idea of living free and simply holds a lot of appeal for this old boy.
But Thoreau only lived within such modest means for two years before moving on to a larger home.
Today many are starting with this size space and squeezing into it a kitchen, a bath, a laundry room, and a staircase.

A home made of wood
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:06:30+00:00
A house made of wood is still a thing of beauty, as she ages and slowly returns to the earth. Even in such a state of disrepair I find myself admiring this home.
Timeless in her charm.
I doubt if future generations will feel the same about the vinyl and formaldehyde creations that are being left behind for them.
So, what do you say?
How about when we build we choose to use natural products, as much as we can.
And, let’s give plenty of thought to the designs of our homes.
We can try to reinvent the wheel and come up with the next great look… or… we can look around and discover what has been proven to be admired for centuries.

Deep window sills and window seats
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:06:24+00:00
A deep window sill… or a window seat… is such a small inexpensive detail, but it turns an ordinary window into a place of wonder.

Regrets
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:06:20+00:00
Do you think the owners of this cabin ever regret the effort and expense it took to build this place?
I doubt it.
Will you regret it if you never get around to doing the same.

Build well
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:06:19+00:00
The ultimate bathroom?
Or, perhaps a little less privacy than you like to have when bathing?
There is so much I admire about this image… a home made of wood wrapped in trees… and, who wouldn’t enjoy some relaxing time in a tub like that? It’s not for me… but that’s not the point… it was right for the person who built it… they visualized what they wanted… made it as wonderful as they could, and they did a great job.
A tip of the hat to them!
And, may it serve as inspiration for the rest of us.
Build well my friends.

One step at a time
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:06:08+00:00
Building a log cabin, one section at a time, makes a lot of sense, and it produces a very attractive home. The simple break in this roof line adds so much to the appearance of this home.

Flooring… character vs perfection
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:06:05+00:00
What do you think of this stone floor?
Certainly it’s very attractive.
But would it be too “textured” for your daily use?
I once encountered a woman who told me her tale of woe, how she was living in her new home and that a gap had appeared between two of her floorboards (about an eighth of inch). She told me of her frustration that her builder had not come back to repair or replace the flooring in that room because of this issue. She was pondering suing the builder and asked my opinion. My only response for her was to be thankful that only one board had such a small gap in her house, that her house contained thousand of pieces of wood whose behavior was beyond the control of the man who installed them.
It’s issues like this why so many good builders close their doors.

The purpose of kitchen cabinets
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:05:59+00:00
Too cluttered?
Or, just right?

A single log wall
Noah Bradley2019-06-29T10:05:49+00:00
Just having one log wall in a bathroom can change it’s whole character.
