Abstract

We built a beautiful post-and-beam home with no interior walls. Yup, it was all one room except for the bathroom. We could sit in our first-floor living room and look up over the rail at our bedroom and even farther up at another little loft with my writing desk, keyboard and my dad’s rocking chair. We could throw dirty dishrags up over the balcony toward the laundry area. We could drop a sweater down for whomever was cold. Christmas lights started 30 feet up in the tiny sky loft and swung all the way down through the bedroom and farther down to the living and dining rooms. It was gorgeous.
