GLASS HOUSE

They say people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones but you could skip stones on the lake without leaving your bed if you lived here.

Ann is a designer and has gorgeous cushions on her blog and lots of design inspiration for Creativity & Future Projects. Check it out while I go back to bed. . … Continue reading

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).
