Thank you for the good ideas for windows! Lucy's ivy comment reminded me I have this book with a wonderful chapter on ivies indoors, beginning with the Victorians. I've also been reading Charles Keeler's The Simple Home. I would like to adapt some of the turn of the century Arts and Crafts styles he describes. Actually, I would like to move into his house, or any of his friend Bernard Maybeck's homes. I have a crush on one that I am trying to squelch. It is deep and dark with redwood paneling and fireplaces and balconies. There is an old picture of it with large palm trees planted in front.
We can always make vines out of paper. No watering involved.
ReplyDeleteAh Maybeck...if you go to Grubb's website and look under Berkeley open homes you'll see a lovely 1920's Ratcliff. It's perfect save for the price.
