Big and spacious an adjoining private bath and a large sunny deck.
Scroll down for another view and two see the second bedroom on
this level. Click on a photo to visit the more rustic cabins.
Again, nothing wrong here, just lots of space in need of some
creative juices. Scroll down to see the second bedroom.
A few words now on the ceiling border. Click here to » move on to the cabins. Allow me
to give this border my Simon Cowell
review. We have all seen them. Craft stores sell them by the mile.
So what could possibly be wrong? Allow me to give some
sweeping guidelines concerning wall, ceiling and floor tones in
general. My inspiration is from Nature herself. Floors should be
dark, walls should be lighter and sky should be fairly bright. The
last thing you want at the transition between wall and sky is
something dark. Instead, one's walls should transition from dark
to every brighter. This is done in more expensive homes with
wainscoting, crown molding and coffered ceilings. Light colored
carpeting is crazy. Another pet peeve is canned ceiling lights.
Although builders love to do canned ceiling lights, they have many
drawbacks. They tend to brighten the floors and not the ceilings,
and never as well as can be done with a fixture that hangs down
from a ceiling. If you want enough light for reading, set a
reading
lamp by your favorite chair, don't try to do it with three banks
of canned ceiling lights. Nowadays, people do much of their
“reading”
from self-lit screens, so the whole reading experience from canned
ceiling lights is hopelessly dated. If your ceilings are not high
enough for dropped down lighting fixtures, try to do wall sconces
although don't expect the electrician to have prepared for that
possibility, even if it is natural for lighting to come in from
the sides like a window! If you have the ceiling height, let your
fixtures
hang down and project their light UP so that it bounces off the
reflective surface of your ceiling/sky. Everything in the room
will
look much better then if you point a bulb directly at it. End of
