Consequences

January 15, 2023 ~ Martha B.

“What I mean is that one’s whole life is an autobiography, don’t you agree? Whether it gets written or not doesn’t make a difference. What goes into it, though? That’s what counts.”

– Elizabeth George, ‘A Banquet of Consequences’

IDEA- Awkward Spaces

December 1, 2022December 1, 2022 ~ Martha B.

Every house has them. Those often funny, awkward spaces that seem to defy an answer to. Instead of fighting these difficulties…look for creative solutions.

A long, narrow table/bench with cushions manages to squeeze into this tight dining area. There’s just enough room left for an intimate gathering of close friends.

A centrally located fireplace in the living room has a pass-through on one side and what was once an empty nook on the other. The homeowners took the opportunity to craft a much needed library.
