Is that birch bark wallpaper? I love it!
Wait a minute. Birch bark striations run horizontally…
I like how the floor adds a lot of color.
That looks to be pecky cypress, quite common in the 1950s, sourced from the swamps of Louisiana. We’ve got in our living room and it’s quite beautiful.
Send me pics, send me pics, Bill!
I have that exact char-glo in my kitchen!
So if we put a BBQ inside the kitchen then my husband will cook in the and I can be outside on the patio? Marketing to the wife to make her life easier again. Really, I do love it though. check out the stainless countertops!
