Architecture Wednesday: Northwoods Shingle Style

A couple of weeks of small, and I’m jonesing for some ostentatious; something large; something new, but old, too. Something like a new shingle style building on the shores of a Minnesota Lake, that gives you all of the modern amenities and style, with hints of yesteryear.

It’s big; it’s grand’ it’s a freaking mansion. But it’s giving me some old Maine Coast shingle-style realness; and with views and a gorgeous kitchen and what they’re calling a ‘mixologist room,’ that I, in my Smalltown way, would say was a bar.

I need a mixologist room, and some shingles and a lake view. And fireplaces and grans staircases and a great kitchen. The only thing I’m leery about is that kid’s room; what would I do with that?

Max, Tuxedo, Consuelo and Ozzo could have their own room and beds!

I’m all in now.
