I imagine this house was well loved; I know that the previous owners loved it a great deal. <br />and Susan, sometimes my kitchen table is covered with various items––books and papers and magazines, cups and containers of cookies––but I cleaned up for the photos.

Your kitchen looks so well loved, well loved for generations. I fancy the individual chair look myself, the individual plate and cup.

And "spare" is only in contrast to my own clutter. Your tables aren't covered with papers! All the art and objects are wonderful to see.Susan Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249426819285565971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-14085390804956385532010-12-05T09:53:47.045-05:002010-12-05T09:53:47.045-05:00thanks A. for making that interesting connection; ...thanks A. for making that interesting connection; I do love the history evident around us, even though it's such a brief amount of time in relation to Europe or the Mid East.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-23745203281751835812010-12-05T08:03:17.305-05:002010-12-05T08:03:17.305-05:00I love the connection between this post and the st...I love the connection between this post and the stone walls post.

I also got new wood windows, so the house is moderately tight.Altoon Sultanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16743040814034732581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7658518583188826551.post-9370109059306166532010-12-04T16:37:09.124-05:002010-12-04T16:37:09.124-05:00I love these spare spaces.

I remember this is a plank house -- is there insulation?Susan Sawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249426819285565971noreply@blogger.com
