It's a gloomy Monday in my neck of the woods; but it feels like fall! I'm enjoying being inside with a hot coffee today but not quite ready to give up my sandals for the year.
I spent some time this weekend playing with a home design program on my computer. It really satisfies my creative itch. DS and I have been watching a real estate show where people are looking for log cabins. I'm not sure I'd want one as my primary home; but they are pretty! I loved the one my mom's cousin had when I was a kid. We had good times there with cousins. I will spend time just browsing home plans too sometimes. It's fun to imagine living in the different styles and designs out there. I've got an almost perfect one saved for when a cash influx comes in.
What is your favorite style of Architecture? (This page has a variety of styles illustrated with names: House Plan Styles - Architectural Designs .)
I think my favorite bits of several are pretty well summed up in Northwest style houses. I like things about Craftsman homes and the rustic touches of Mountain/Log Cabin/Lodge styles. Lake/Beach houses are so fun too. Tudor, Victorian, and Cottages are also favorites for some elements. I think what I like least is the Modern to Mid-Century Modern homes. It was almost scandalous in college that I really really really dislike Frank Lloyd Wright's designs.
