Lordy? I'll check underneath my couch cushions to see if I have enough.

If I do lend you the money then I'm moving into this part of the house:

@tsarstepan,

I rather like the top right-hand turret - quite a view from there, I'd imagine!

@saab,

Your wallpaper re childhood dream is like my aunt's bedroom wall paper. I remember being in there when I had the measles as a child and later glancing in when we lived there for a couple of year with her.

@ossobuco,

A very average sort of English drawing room - small but comfortable.

Haven't read up yet, posting to mark that I remember liking a photo of Christopher Hitchens in front of his books (or was that some other writer, pause).
I'll see if I can dig that up later.

@vonny,

I'm on it, they need me! (I'm kidding, I stopped paying for my license.) What a design blank slate except for the obvious, climate and climate, and the nature of the house. A design feed bag for a landscape architect. I hope whoever gets that place, owner and the hired, design wisely and with some fun.

I'm falling behind, still need to look at Vonny's link closely.

Not yet, I've other matters at hand.

I think I took this photo at the de Young museum in San Francisco - I've got the artist's name somewhere, but not at the tip of my tongue.

I believe the artist is George de forest Brush
Wow some of the houses are so big!

@trying2learn,

Yes, that's his name.

Here's a house that appeals to me, from the one photo -

In the country: Argyll. This is a former lighthouse keeper’s cottage in Toward with water and mountain views, yet it’s also commutable from Glasgow. Yours for £299,999, it has three beds and half-an-acre. But it’s not the glorious isolation you might think: there is a clutch of other cottages close by.

@saab,

I like the lines of the house, simple, clean. Quite the opposite of what I think of as contractor houses here in the U.S. - that often make no sense.

Off to sleep soon again.

@vonny,

Ok, here - it's bit spicy. The imbedded toppings include garlic. spicy green pepper (ordinary green peppers that I saute with chile powder), kalamata olives, mushroom stems, and bits of tinned anchovies. You can give it back if you don't like all that..

ok, back to bed now.
