Home Improvement
A few weeks ago, i visited our friend Cindy, who is finishing up the renovation the style of their house. I noticed that the style of the house looks like for a summer. And I found it striking, how some houses really do seem to have season. The first house that they own was a tiny two-story, that was in its best during winter, when the sunlight streamed in the floor-to-ceiling windows. And in the shade of summer the same house felt dark and confined, with just one narrow door to an unimproved backyard. later, they find another house and lived in the perfect autumn house, with a deck overlooking woods that supplied brilliant color all season long.
But a house that lives large in summer may be the most desirable of all, because that’s when our days are longest and often -most leisurely. Some of our best conversations with other friends have taken place around the patio table, with a pitcher of iced tea and our kids playing in the yard – or more recently, popped home for a visit. That’s the great thing about summer: You don’t need to go too far to feel refreshed and connected.
