utility wins

in my book. i'm in a constant place of conflict when it comes to clean & modern vs. banged up & old. this sink is the perfect size..great for the dog, soaking linens and just every day.

i'm plotting while hunting for a new house, and the requirements are evolving every day. i think it has to be compatible for a sink just like this one.

and on to the kitchen

same Uruguay home as below, and into the kitchen we go. i don't think you can see the amazing counters as well as the original, but they are a rich, dark brown plank board and perfectly worn.

where to start....the great door, the counters, the lighting....all ready to move right in. it looks well loved.

where to start....

this is when i really start to go nuts. all the primitive woods and window and great old lighting. what really sent me over the edge are the amazing windows separating the kitchen and dining room.

same brilliant home in uruguay, maison francaise.

bedroom, meet classroom

i really wish my grade school classrooms were set up like this. it would have been perfect: role call, then some singing, then reading, then my first nap, then playground, then lunch, then nap......

i love this room. the 3 beds in a row, the beamed ceiling, the chalkboard and you know the rest.

This is a home in Uruguay. maison francaise.
