Hmm...

Sometimes I wonder why my ceilings don't look like this. Or my windows? I guess nobody wanted to hand lay the beams, carve the designs and paint intricate details the day my rented town home was being built. Perhaps the stained glass contractor was sick that day, or on vacation, and that is why my windows are large, plain-jane square boxes. Instead of wooden shutter doors, my windows have the German style roll down shades, which are nice, convenient, but still plain. I actually like the simplicity of my house, but I sometimes like to think about the skill these builders must have had. No modern design programs on computers, but rather paper, hands and talent.
