This list describes my ideal house in the woods, my ultimate goal. ‘Cabin’ doesn’t seem an appropriate name for it, since it needs to be big enough to house and entertain all my visitors.

  • My house will be built into a hill and just look like a grassy knoll from the North.
  • It will have a two story wall of glass facing South.
  • There will be a great room, for living, cooking and eating.
  • A little loft area will be tucked away, barely visible, and only accessible to children.
  • A geodesic green house will be attached and full of herbs and veggies.
  • It will be totally surrounded by trees, private enough to enjoy your morning coffee naked on the deck.
  • The shower will be outside.
  • There will be wifi access of course.
  • There will be room for all of you!

This is a monies-no-object type of fantasy. Also the house would be energy-efficient, self-sustaining and all that jazz of course.

Lots of natural materials, sunlight and unpainted wood.

I think this is the first blog that is as varied in subject as mine. But all the post still have a cohesive and distinct style.  Gabby’s tastes are girlie, bohemian and wonderful.

The Cabin designed by Cyrén & Cyrén

Yes please. Sweden is on my list of places to visit, I do believe I will stay in a treehouse when I go there.

Osarizawa Factory and Mine, Sports World Ruins

This is an amazing article by Michael John Grist, a freelance photographer and novelist. I always feel the urge to pull over and explore when I see run down houses or buildings from the road, and seeing vegetation overtake a forgotten structure is a nice reminder of how resilient and tenacious nature actually is.

Edit: Grist has a Vimeo account! So good: http://vimeo.com/user464007
