Is minimal hard to design and more expensive to get right? No place for anything to hide.
Hi Tara
It's actually difficult to do. Certainly for me. I have to fight the urge for a bit of this or that.
It's knowing when it's just right.
Beautiful house by the way. I love the 'boules'.
Have a good weekend

Oh I have just found your wonderful blog. Great ideas, great advice... and being a non green thumb, love your thoughts on keeping it simple! A-M xx
I saw a picture of one of my favorite houses in the sidebar - my own little discovery in Atlanta (a veteran realtor even emailed me to ask where it was, as she had never seen it - it was literally .5 mile from her own home - it is so beautifully tucked away).
There is something about this house that has SUCH appeal - I think it is the 'keep it simple' philosophy. Also, I am a sucker for a French theme anytime, anywhere!
Thank you for this post. I need to walk Ben by this house sometime soon so I can see what it looks like in the winter.
i love this house!!! and i love no plantings. so french.
loved your comment about your talk with your husband- hahah. why do they think we actually CARE about their "opinions?"
