The Wood Pile

Honey, where should we store the left-over wood?   tumblr
Last year while on the Ashland Porch & Garden Tour I spotted this!  A beautifully stacked & natural low wall dividing the garden & carport. Genius!

       What a great way to enclose one side of the back porch.  Love the window!

The garage is a great place to store & keep the wood dry...as long as you don't need to park your car there.

In the winter I like to keep part of the wood close at hand like this short stack just off of the kitchen.

Definitely, a man cave below and this man is pretty well stocked up for a long weekend.  Just look at the bar! Somebody tell me, are those bear paws on the books?

Now I could live with this.  At least for the winter...Maybe.

Wood adds a cozy feel to this kitchen & compliments the island and shelving.

Never knew wood could look so sophisticated.

Never really thought of it as art either.

This is so type-A it sends a shiver...Hey, maybe that's what they're going for!  Wait a second, where's the fireplace?

This, however, is gorgeous!  Love the horizontal stained plank walls & natural rough-sawn ceiling.  Of course, I love the touches of Hermes orange too!

I'm not really sure if this is indoors or out but it works and what a great idea for an outdoor cabinet!

This is most definitely out & the way a serious woodpile is supposed to be stacked.

This is NOT how wood is supposed to be stacked!  What a cute little cottage inviting the bugs, varmints & other little critters inside for a cool place to live in the summer!

Meanwhile, what's left of ours will be way outback...somewhere.

Out of sight, out of mind, till next year.
One more thing!
I was reading The Daily Basics this morning and read a great article about this fun book & thought it was a natural link for all that firewood!
