What a commanding fireplace,
the center of attention ....
(would rather that than the TV!)
I really liked the use of natural stone
in this fireplace. A stack of stone
holds up one end... very unique!
The ceiling adds a lot of texture
to the room as well.
The washstand here is made
with saguaro ribs after the
stately cactus has died.
They're lightweight but very sturdy.
The same saguaro ribs are used
as a majestic looking
headboard
Most southwest decorating isnt
an overabundance of stuff
spaces are left open
I wonder if the extreme heat
has something to do with it?
certainly less clutter gives
the appearance of feeling cooler.
Liking this very simple desk.
I'm definitely fascinated by the
half round fireplaces, especially
the ones that are fitted into a corner.
whimsical,
and on its own terms,
very practical as well.
Simple garden gate
with local use sticks
and painted a very pretty blue
Front door porches
tend to be deep,
offering lots of shade
from the summer heat.
Simple bench,
and I like the window
casings as well.
Can't leave out the bathroom,
a big claw footed tub looks
very cool and relaxing
and a very rustic
looking kitchen
with lots of pine!!
I like the natural wood look
