FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF STUPID DEPARTMENT (2)

I've always loved vernacular architecture and part of the wonder of our house is the outrageous vernacular vision of its builder. Form doesn't follow function as much as it follows whimsy. Dramatic Frank Lloyd Wright-ish ideas go a bit wrongishly awry. But they're still dramatic.    

The vernacular charm of our kitchen is disappearing. The brick wall is becoming drywall.
