light

One thing about my house is, there is no shortage of dramatic light here.


The red room is variously named but mostly called the banjo room. It is a great setting for playing acoustic instruments. Once in a while a few friends and I play guitar, banjo, mandolin, and violin here late into the night.



The room gets afternoon sun. Yesterday, the late afternoon sun came through the window on the left, causing these haunting rays.









The east bedroom, everyone calls the log cabin because of its knotted pine finish. It offers a dreamy view of the sunrise which, this morning, was as enchanting as always:




The living room faces west/northwest. At dusk the recessed lighting reflects in the windows and the orangey reflections complement the purple blue sky. Orange and blue are complementary colors.


There are no home projects currently. This spring will include tiling the upstairs shower, enlargening the garden, sealcoating the driveway. If I have the energy, possibly recessed halogen lighting in the kitchen, and putting an opening in the wall between kitchen and living room. If I can save a few pennies, a white pergola over the deck.
