Now that Christmas is over my thoughts turn once again to what kind of house I can expect to live in when I move out of L.A. (Sigh!) I'll miss the California ranch style (above).
If I end up with a small house maybe I can convert it into something nice. I like the simple, open-plan living room, above. The blue sofa makes a nice contrast with the varnished wood.
Here's (above) a light and airy living room furnished by Ikea. The curtains unexpectedly turn out to be a potent unifying element.
I like wide living rooms with low ceilings. This room (above) is by Frank Lloyd Wright.
Here's (above) another outdoor office. Gee, all that glass would make it hard to heat. It looks great, though.
Wow! I love the way this dark, woody bedroom looks! It would be like sleeping in a cabin in the Klondike.
This unusually dark room raises a question: would it be wise to allow each bedroom to have its own unique look and feel? Would a house with wildly different rooms be a platypus?
