Hey Everyone!

Happy Father’s Day and also Juneteenth Day, if you celebrate this federal holiday.

Today, I’m republishing a beautiful post from two years ago, when my son Cale took me to historic Deerfield, MA. This of course, was the height of the pandemic; gone were the usual throngs of tourists.

In addition, today (as I’m writing), June 18th, is also Cale’s birthday.

 

You probably read that if you received the HOT SALES and opened the email.

Rustic Asian Home With A Traditional Essence

Jaime E. Love

On a peaceful plain by the foothills of Annamese Cordillera, central Vietnam, Hue people hold the role of family in high regard, placing family connections above all else. These values are what led one family of adult children to commission a home design in which their ageing parents could enjoy a retirement of relaxing pastimes and gardening. Designed by architectural firm Limdim House Studio, this 75 square metre home was designed to be easy to live in for the elderly couple, with a cosy yet minimalist aesthetic. Traditional, rustic elements were employed to achieve a restful appeal that is reminiscent of childhood in the countryside. An open plan interior promotes natural light and ventilation.
