Three bedrooms, three cats.

All pictures were scanned by me from Woodstock Handmade Houses (1974) by Robert Haney and David Ballantine; Jonathan Elliot, photographer.

wow...beautiful. I love the first picture the most. I'm with you; I could easily live like this.

There are even more beautiful spaces photographed in the book. I just restricted the post to a "rooms with cats" theme for fear of reproducing the entire book.

And to me.

the second photo is lovely.
if i lived in places like those, i don't think i would ever leave the house.

ps. did you get your icon from garconniere?

[bluebellrock]

Thanks for telling me whose icon it was - I didn't know who to credit. :)

lots of copies on amazon for four dollars or so... inspired enough to buy the book based on scans of these pictures! i live within a few hours of woodstock, i should go check it out.

Last time I searched there was nothing, so I looked again based on your comment. I'm just never sure whether to believe those second-hand copy listings. One has 1900 as the publication date and can be yours for $95.03! The listing for the 1974 copy I have says 'Currently Unavailable' but it looks like there might've been a 1990 reissue, but I wonder if those listings are sometimes just roving bots pointing you to second-hand dealers that don't necessarily have the books in stock or what. Postage here to Australia via Amazon can be exorbitant too, so I guess I won't be risking it soon. I'd love to hear if you did manage to get one though. You won't be sorry in the slightest if you do! You're so lucky to live near Woodstock; I drove through on a Greyhound once many moons ago. I wanted to get off the bus so badly you can't imagine!
