Creating a Minimalist Home Design That Embodies "The Luxury of Enough"
Creating a minimalist home design that embodies "the luxury of enough" | Minimalist House Design
Why Houses Minimalist?
Many Americans long for a simple life and there are so many books and guides to help us find it in their daily routine and in the workplace. However, most of us are unpracticed in explaining to others (or even ourselves) what a simple house or a minimalist for a truly life would look like. We feel that there is something missing in our hurried routines, but we do not know where to start editing the complexity.
In my book, we began a simple exploration of the 21 homes across the country and the experiences of people who built them. The houses and their owners travel offers an interesting counterpoint to the way most people buy a new home developers in the market today.
Pathways to Home Search
21 houses are arranged in six lines that people use simple ask what really matters to them well in their lives and homes. Ranging from saving for flexibility in design, this track can help you consider your own home and how to simplify it. Roads are as follows:
Simple and minimalist design of the house is enough - A house is minimalist and simple is a positive affirmation of "the luxury of simply" By this we mean that a simple home design begins with finding out how much you really need and what you can eliminate .. Luxury of sufficient means to face the fact that you really do not need eight-burner stove and a larger kitchen for the house. Forty years ago, the utility used to be a bad word in home design. In the 1950s rambler, the utility room is not really a showplace for our guests. But today, many utilitarian buildings such as warehouses and an old barn, is a highly desirable location for new housing and work space. They are designed for pure function for storage and industry, but this time they worked brilliantly for the open-plan living. They offer the luxury of living in a world apart.
simple, minimalist home is often a rectangular, sometimes square, and was always "enough," whether in terms of dormers, the number of bathrooms, or square recordings. At this point, we visit homes that reflect their owners choosing to live instead of images they want to present to the street. This design for "adequate" appear deceptively simple because they really grew out of a lot of careful decision making.

595 Days to Venice...Here in Hoboken
MackeyBlue had a "Meet the Artist" afternoon last weekend and I managed to get over there to check it out. And I'm glad I did! There was beautiful artwork, lovely people and I was able to have a glass of wine with no little person tugging on my pants!
But seriously the artwork is great; if you're in Hoboken you should stop by. The work is by Lynn Hofher and the photographic series is called "595 Days to Venice". For more info you can go to MackeyBlue's new blog. Here's a teaser of Lynn's work...
Karen Marsh, the owner of Mackeyblue, hosts a get together with wine and cheese when a new artist's work is put on display. You can get on the mailing list to be notified of these events and new items that have come in to the store.
I took some photos at the event... and hey, there's the artist!
Spending time there sipping my wine, I started to reminisce about working with Karen to get the store set up way back in 2006. The lighting, tin ceiling, paint, wallpaper, and the signage...
Someone mentioned how much they liked the wallpaper, which is great to hear. We took a lot of time to find a pattern and hue that would be fun, yet homey, and go with all the blue-greens that Karen loves. I think she ultimately found the wallpaper on Ebay!
These great images have me thinking about our trip to Venice with the family. Hmmm, I think I've got a topic for another post... Canal hopping with the in-laws!
If you get a chance to check out MackeyBlue and the artwork, let me know what you think!

Minimalist House Plan Design by Craftsman
Simple and minimalist design house plans directly from the many houses have been built.
This has been one of the most popular of the Craftsman home design and shown here has been slightly modified from the plan first, modifications and improvements that have been suggested by different people who have built homes, so they are all very valuable as a result of practical experience. Although the picture shows the patch walls and foundations of field stone, the design lends itself quite as easily to a wall of brick or stone, or even for shingles or clapboards, if a wooden house as desired.
Outside the kitchen at the back is only recommended if the house built in this country, because in that city would not be necessary. In such a farmhouse outside the kitchen because it affords the easiest place for outdoor work such as laundry and ironing, canning, preserving and other tasks much less tedious if done in the open. The position of the chimney at the rear of the house to allow the stove to be placed on the porch he was to use it. This house was designed so that the kitchen in the vicinity may be added to or removed, as desired, without making any difference to the overall plan. Plan of the lower story shows the composition of ordinary open Craftsman houses. The entrance opens into the small entries are filtered from the living room by portieres weight, so no draft from the front door is felt on the inside.
Home Design Ideas
Home design interior: Outside the living room wall is a fireplace and bookshelves settings, as shown in the picture. A large table was placed in the middle, settle for it by coming back and facing the fire.
