Cottage Bungalow Circa 1923
I love this tiny cottage with a front porch and an upstairs sleeping porch. I want the plan book too!
This house and plan were shown in the 1923 plan book, The Books of a Thousand Homes. It featured 500 small house plans. Most of them really were small by today's standards. This one reflects the post WWI movement away from the horizontally oriented Craftsman-style to the more modern and very romantic aesthetic of the 1920s. This particular plan was by Olsen & Urbain, Architects.

Sleepy Sea Otter
I've been really, really busy for the last several days. This sea otter has the right idea. It's time to say goodnight.
Wonderful Sign - Rules for A Nice Life
An alphabet to live by. I took the photo of this sign in the home of a friend.
