13: Porch Lattice
I’m still thinking about some of the exterior detail decisions I had to make. While I was surprised and happy with my decision to use vinyl siding on the exterior of the house, I didn’t like the plastic option for the lattice that was specified for below the porches. So, I decided to use real wood lattice from Home Depot. While it’ll need to be painted periodically, it has...

12: Front Steps Handrails
During the design process, I was always thinking about ways to give the house a sense of history—even if it was only fabricated. I didn’t want all of the details in the design to be too uniform. Older houses usually have a layered look—you can often see how things were done to the house over time. In my study of old houses in the area, I realized that one those details is frequently the...

11: Electricity Outlets
I recommend mounting electricity outlets low to the floor, ideally horizontal in the floorboard trim. Electric cords from lamps don’t drop to the floor and then climb back up the wall to reach the outlets. And, the walls are simply left visually clean. I may eventually try painting these plates to make them disappear even more.

10: Radiant Heat
Radiant heat systems are really easy to install during construction, and if there’s crawl space under an existing house, the system can still be installed without too much trouble. Getting it under the second floor of an existing house would be a different issue, but the installation downstairs and upstairs went quickly in my house—maybe a couple of days for the whole system....

9: Manufactured Stone
I had originally wanted the foundation of the house to be covered in stone, but it was one of the line items I compromised on when the builder and I went through the budget looking for places to trim. Mark at Oak Tree Homes suggested simple stucco, which actually ended up looking great. I had spent more than a year documenting details on old houses in the region. Occasionally, I’d find...
Angelina Jolie's Top Priority
The ‘Changeling’ actress - who is a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations (UN) - says that despite his successful career and their six children with her partner Brad Pitt, to help the less fortunate is the most great concern. Jolie said: “I can not sit quietly while others die of hunger. I do not want to abandon my commitment to the United Nations. It has no higher...

8: Hiding Vinyl Seams
Vinyl siding comes in panels and mine happened to be 12 feet tall. As the crew was about to start installing it on the house, I realized that I could hide where the panels stopped and started on the side of the house. Those seams are one of the worst give-aways that the siding on a house is faux and not real. It looks like two pieces of paper overlapping. By starting with a new panel at the...

7: Hanging Plates
I found a set of fish plates (with one piece inexplicably missing) that had belonged to my great-grandmother, and I decided to hang them in the dining area of the house. While I liked the look of the plates, alone they seemed too old-fashion and fussy. So, I decided to create a visual narrative and give the whole arrangement a shot of energy by mixing in some of the wonderful decoupage...

6: Behind, Below and Above
During construction document, document, document. Use a digital camera to take pictures of things that will eventually be covered up by Sheetrock, wood, flooring and even the ground around the house. I tried to make sure that I shot everything I could see before it was covered, and I’ve already returned to those photos more than once for reference. Here’s a list of things you...

Mongols in the Holy Land
The death of the great Genghis Khan in 1223 marked Mongol expansion into Asia-minor. He was succeeded in the east by his grandson Kublai, who went to conquer China. In the west, Hulagu, another grandson, succeeded (a third was the founder of the Golden Horde in Russia). It was Hulagu who crossed the Oxus River in 1254 with a huge army, intending to conquer all the way to the Mediterranean and to...

5: Slate Tile Source
I knew what I wanted for the floor before I knew exactly what to ask for. The tile business is funny in that it can be hard to find some of the simplest tiles. I’ve been told that this is because it’s too easy for companies to out price or undercut each other with the simplest materials and designs. I knew that I wanted slate tiles for the first floor of my house, because I love the...

We’re getting a lot of snow this week, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how much I like my Tulikivi fireplace.

3: Sized Right
One of the reasons I chose Oak Tree Homes to build my house was because they had the ability to work with me on the design and plans for the house. I started with a very simple plan from Tumbleweed Tiny House Company that we enlarged and developed into a house that would fit my lifestyle and location—28’x28’ not including the porches as you see it here. While I’m interested in...

2: Small Houses Can Make Wonderful Homes
In 2001 I rented a small farmhouse for summer weekends in New York’s Hudson River Valley. It was a simple little building that was packed with character and charm. There was nothing fancy about it, but it became the stage for many wonderful weekends and an escape that fateful September. About the same time, I ran across a story on a young architect named Jay Schafer and the Tumbleweed Tiny...

1: Just The Right Spot
Placing or positioning a house on the site is more important than you might ever imagine…and it probably won’t cost you much, if anything, to take as much time as you need to do so. I first spent a couple of years visiting my property in different seasons and noting things like where the sun rises and sets throughout the year. Then as the actual design of the house took shape I started...

Well, it’s been a long time since I posted here. Practically a year! I took possession of my new house on December 19, 2007.

And then spring and summer arrived…and everything outside was just too tempting. I’ve been bad with posting (it almost...
