I've always liked these stainless steel islands more than stationary built-ins that have to stay in the same place forever. David Jimenez has cleverly and beautifully arranged this one for a buffet and a bar.
If these shelves were mine, they would contain mostly antiquarian books. Is there anything better than a wall of shelves from the floor to the ceiling and from side to side? I think not.
Dibs...I saw this lake house first so it's mine, all mine. But you may come and visit. Photo by Bjorn Wallander
Brrr...It's a chilly April Saturday here at the cottage. I was going to teleport myself to Tuscany but I see it doesn't look any better there with that stormy sky. Actually, I don't mind the chill because I get my best work done in "San Francisco" weather. Have a great weekend y'all. See you later. Rosemary
What does a $20,000 dog house look like? A lot like a regular house, only smaller and with the scaled-down furniture lower to the ground.
I mowed my front and back lawns last night and did quite a lot of weeding. I didn't finish until almost 8pm. It was a really good workout and everything looks so nice this morning. My wisteria is starting to bloom too. Mine doesn't touch the house like the beautiful mature vine in the image above. It's so nice in the spring and very fragrant too. One must be very careful that it doesn't take over like it did at Grey Gardens.
It's a beautiful country morning here at the cottage. I can smell my new-mown grass through the open window. My push mower started with the first pull of the string late yesterday after being in the garage all winter. I was so happy. I'll be back later. Have a great Friday, Rosemary.
