Windows… A Universal Element In Architecture

When Was The Last Time You Looked At Your Windows?

Structures of every kind, all over the world, have one thing in common…windows.  Windows let in light and fresh air.  These designated openings protect us from natures harsh elements.  Windows can be simple panes of glass or expressions of art.  Regardless of what a window looks like, windows do something magical.  They allow us to see.

Motivational Monday

 Do you recall a post last fall, when we talked about What Do We Really Need Our Homes To Do?  If not, take a look back because the post today is inspired by another wonderful weekend when our home outdid herself.  (yes she is a she).

After traveling the better part of the last two weeks on projects, Mr. LBD and I needed a weekend at home with no commitments.  Mother Nature complied and provided us with one of those slow, steady rainy weekends.  We spent a good part of two days sitting and peering out the window.

Let’s Go Window Shopping

For years I have photographed, and archived, shots of doors from all over the world.  While a door can certainly make a statement, a good window can be so much more interesting.  A window has its own personality.

Windows Inspire Us To “See”

Yes, windows are utilitarian in that they are all constructed with a purpose in mind and a job to perform.  Sadly, the majority of new windows designed today are standardized and uninteresting.  Perhaps this is why we stop and linger just a second longer when a window really catches our eye.

It’s Not What You Look At…It’s What You See That Matters

Speaking of seeing, unless you have been in a coma last weekend you no doubt have seen a few photos of that little wedding that took place across the pond.  Join Us Wednesday when we share what we liked best about the whole thing, and we promise not to talk about the dress! (although we did like the evening sheath quite a bit!)
