One of the joys of home ownership is also one of it’s banes: renovations. I’m painfully aware of the many alterations or changes I would make to our home, and rather than let these become points of consternation or despair, I’d rather use them as moments of critical thought. So I draw. This kitchen is a thought of what I might like to do to our little Spanish cottage if given the wherewithal. Formally, it takes its cues from the European orangerie tradition – somewhere between a living room and a greenhouse, and marries that typology with some Irving Gill-like elements.
“One of the joys of home ownership is also one of it’s banes…” I could certainly imagine that being true, especially for an incurable creative and artist such as yourself. I love these drawings and cannot wait to see your Spanish cottage evolve over the coming years.
Many thanks, Melissa – We look forward to seeing your little ones back at our little ‘cottage’ soon!
