• ...just 1 or 2 houses...

  I can't help myself! Here are photos of houses that I took. The following are houses on Summit Ave.

  

  ****Then the following are 2 houses I saw on the Home Tour that went on this past weekend****

  1) Queen Anne home in North Minneapolis.

  This was a VERY old home with many stories behind it. Currently it's a duplex with the homeowner on the lower unit and a newly-wed couple on the upper unit - so sweet and enriched, considering that they live in North Minneapolis were it can be rough.

  2) Uber modern home.

  I just had to see this house! It's in the Highland area near St. Kate's College. It use to be a regular one and 1/2 store tudor type of home, but the owners (husband = architect, mother = writer) tore it down and did a lot of the work themselves over many YEARS.. it's still being tweaked here and there.

  This curved wall is actually reflected on the inside of the home; infact the shower has that curved wall too!

  The front door and main living space is upstairs, while all the bedrooms are downstairs. This picture is of the ceiling ornament - Je l'aime!

  Spectacular powder room! I love 1/2 baths and the intense insanity/creativity you can do with them.

  Here's a great garnish - deep friend green onions. Sliced them thin, lightly tossed with a little water and cornstarch slurry and deep fry until golden brown. Add it to anything: salads, meats, potatoes.

  - Happy eating and living!
