I agree with Mary--gorgeous, but it wouldn't look like that long if I lived there. Think kids dirty fingerprints and lockers as well. (also looking farther, it may be that some of what we think of as home pictures are pictures of the school--I wasn't too careful, but there did seem to be a lot of picture duplication--but maybe all the same colors and shapes on the thumbnails made me think that). But, are ANY of those pretty windows openable, with screens? (anybody remember that old "Woodbutcher's Art" book? Those places mostly looked like people lived there, even if they'd straightened for the pictures. A good condition copy of that book's gotten expensive now: http://www.digmodern.biz/si/3103.html ) .................. Mary wrote (snipped): The home interiors look really great, but I can't imagine living in such a place. It looks like a house for someone who has no life and no detritis of daily living---no place for the hairbrush with hair in it; a dog or messy parakeet pets; toast crumbs; muddy outdoor shoes; potato bin; computer; 750 books and so on. While a cob house requires "downsizing," I still think it should be a home and not a magazine picture. If anyone has ideas to share on the subject of what is enough simplicity and how real people should fit into their handbuilt homes.... .............
