These are just beautiful handcrafted Footed Plattes.
I love the description of the creative process and that you source your own wood in a sustainable manner.
Olive oil is the perfect finish for these works of art.
Bravo Elizabeth and Andrew!

I love botanical prints!
I took a class in England several years ago for botanical illustration, the instructor was the Orchid Illlustrator for The Royal Gardens at Kew.

These are great and so imaginative! I love all of them, the hand shadows are so unique but I think a young child might be afraid of them.

I love all those ideas, and have incorporated some of them into my kitchen remodel. My cabinets are white, there's an open shelf also white, loaded with cookbooks with an iron potrack with vintage cookware. I left the original fake tile floor that is very similar to the one in the photo.
The wall color is very refreshing! The only thing the kitchen needs is a pretty tea towel like this one:

I love all your color choices, so refreshing and they look great with the wood tones.
I too live in an old house (1920 bungalow) that is beautiful but has drafty windows - I had a friend make wooden frames that I stapled clear upholstery plastic on and then put inside the storm and indoor french doors that were the worst offenders, and it works really well. Lined draperies are a must and really cut down on the drafts.

I think adding pillows with some brighter and contrasting colors plus white will lighten up the large bulk of the the blue sofa.
Something like this, perhaps a larger size to introduce ochre and white -
