This week we’re delighted to share some images from Deb Grosenbaugh’s farm just outside Athens. Thank you for sharing, Deb! These are wonderful!
“I asked Lori to design a house in the spirit of the Japanese sukiya living environment, with a seamless transition between inside and outside the house. Working from home this past year, it is hard to imagine a better place to be ‘stuck’ during a pandemic.”
“A variety of aesthetics are often expressed in the sukiya living environment. One of my favorite rooms allows me to express my love of ikebana (flower arranging) and shodo (calligraphy) in a traditional tokonoma.”
“In the other corner of that room there is an alcove where I can practice shodo while viewing the azaleas in bloom.”
“The master bedroom opens to an enclosed garden, which is also visible from the shower and soaking tub in the attached bath. This allows for a tranquil start and end to each day and is constantly changing with the seasons.”
“The kitchen/dining area commands a view of the back pasture where, at sunrise, the horses come up to remind me that it is time to grab a “to go” coffee and head down to the barn to feed.”
