WHAT’S WRONG WITH A $24M HAWAIIAN HOME?

PLYWOOD BE GOOD

This renovated barn interior has some highly creative use of plywood going on. The most obvious is the cube in the center that holds a bathroom and utility room on the lower floor and the stairs go up to an office space (I’d put a loft bed up there). Plywood is an inexpensive material and sometimes can be quite beautiful in its simplicity. The benches and table in this picture from Dwell also are made of plywood. See more “Barns Ennobled” at Dwell. Continue reading

I also like the curvy lines of this bed, the circular chandelier for yin energy, and of course the pooches on the bed. The ceiling *might* be a bit too high for a comfy night’s rest (solution would have been to use a canopy bed to bring the “ceiling” closer in for a snug feeling) and I don’t see any window coverings. Keep trying!

Have any of you been watching the TV series “Downton Abbey” on Masterpiece Theatre?
