Every man needs a workshop. I want to build a boat

You can just build things.

Good design doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive

Although I do have some ikea products that are pretty solid like the shelving unit I use to store my shipping boxes.

What would you rather have? . Cheap wayfair/ikea furniture that breaks after a year . Or . Hand built, well crafted wooden pieces that you can have for generations.

Have you tried sleeping on the floor about it?

Your yard needs more plants

What are the two best places to have homes? . I want to split my time with a winter home and a summer home.

Really the only way pools should be made.

Life is beautiful and still full of wonder. Too many posts on this app and others of people complaining that “life isn’t what it used to be.”. There is still a world filled with positive energy, natural wonders and good people. Open your eyes.

Coffee and a good book with this view.

Your home should not slowly poison you. It should feel alive and restorative. If you are building, renovating, or just repainting a room, look into limewash. Let your walls return to something real.

You can tint it with natural pigments to get colors pulled from the earth. Deep green from copper. Terracotta from iron. Soft cream from clay. The tones are muted and natural.

Limewash is naturally mold resistant. It lets moisture escape. It kills bacteria on contact. It can help regulate humidity in older homes. Instead of trapping toxins in your walls, it lets them breathe. The difference is something you can feel in the air.

Limewash is made from crushed and aged limestone mixed with water. It soaks into the wall rather than coating it. The finish is soft and matte with a natural texture that changes with the light. It feels calm and grounded, not artificial or shiny.

It wasn’t always this way. Before synthetic paints, walls were finished with earth and mineral-based materials. Lime. Clay. Natural pigments. These were breathable, antimicrobial, and safe. One of the oldest and most beautiful options is limewash.

VOCs, or volatile organic compounds, are found in almost every conventional paint. They have been linked to headaches, asthma, hormone disruption, and fatigue. Most modern homes trap these chemicals inside. Your indoor air is often more polluted than the air outside.

Most people never think twice about the paint on their walls. But it quietly shapes the health of your home. That fresh paint smell is not a sign of cleanliness. It is a chemical cloud made of VOCs that linger in the air long after the walls are dry.
