a beautiful three day rainstorm visits the high desert - snow in the mountains just above us.
the house sits on 5 acres of high desert hillside - it's the place we go to clear our minds.
it is so remote that it has to function off-grid with green technologies.
new curtains for the house designed and fabricated by Elodie Blanchard (http://www.elasticco.com/) the curtains are sheer to allow trace views to the landscape. white to reflect the sun's heat in summer
the guest bedroom curtains
the master bedroom curtains are felt - sewn in narrow panels to create a hinged pleat. we decided to make the curtain large enough not only to cover the glass doors to the courtyard, but also to act as our privacy door to the hallway.
snow in the mountains just about 500 feet above us
on one hand, getting reading for an early morning hike. on the other hand, breakfast for the baby.
the essential paradox of glass...
putting the kids to work in the garden
holiday supper in style
living room, dining room, and kitchen fully furnished
our new couch finally arrived - there's nothing so civilized as a good couch
