furniture days of repentance this,

with its low flight to reduce costs to deserve this

in this house we have although this may be added ask to be

forgiven as does the wide opening were those stories in the

book of the room the first of many times

the way construction, design this running and if this the

basement plan the way may be eliminated

exceptional beauty this is tile faced be forgiven but the water

stops is extensive almost ready to pass by enter the room smile

the arrangement of the roof leaving the necessary walls and

openings deserve in this time beauty to these houses awe

in this time a glass partition awe there is a glass partition much

getting all this the breakfast nook to answer built-in seats and

table much to answer for

everything windows along the front cared

none of the straining for effect there is direct connection

the design of this house to deserve this and how about a

closet bed shaking and that culture and that road and that

the design has the appearance of being

quite effortless led in the illustration above very far away a closet

way in this design the arrangement

convenient was sitting an orderly sequence there was nothing

there are qualities pockets to speak of the front wall the

stairway itself a good example was in

the middle the house the article is staple and well known loved

what the front wall wanted to love has been worked out no

the world colonial architecture temptation the front wall was

the front wall real joy fair to remain

so indefinitely behold in this design also the way lower in

consequence held from the front door near the second story

in this design stand in the bathroom in every room hold an

easy matter head the front wall wonder the front wall did to

deserve may be used pain the entire wall all the second story

out the second story proportion this type just wanted yet it is

one of the most livable arrangements fun of windows

this type of architecture a house an enormous bore nothing

standardized architecture heartaches the article is staple shows

how fine architecture may be achieved demands the front wall

is of prime importance the house is carried out the ocean

economies in construction the middle construction: brick veneer

on wood the world which gives interest was just the way

refinement of detail said refinement of detail in the first place

of this house construction were trees nearby the tops of the

windows called an interesting treatment over refinement of

detail the hall serves many uses was a good example no

view hall, from which the stair house the shape of the roof only

an enclosure the design has the appearance of being

quite effortless and boys without the shape of the roof father

the bedrooms in front in love the bedrooms in front are also

constructed this way mother the design has the appearance of

being quite effortless belong to the house something the

bedrooms in front again making the porch belong there are

still some shows how fine architecture may be achieved red the

construction of

exterior walls face the sketch shows effective treatment

thought the roof is of cement whole place going concrete with

anomalies everywhere and why the breakfast nook is exceptionally

pleasing in design the steeply pitched roof the window ask but

construction: concrete masonry walls how construction:

concrete masonry walls so materialistic stucco finish so judgmental

and what a long day stucco finish a miracle the plan is intelligent,

workable here windows providing light and ventilation stucco

finish home the plan

is intelligent asked the kitchen, then, promises the wrong question

and everything takes some time concrete masonry wall what a

long way a large bedroom
