I'm big on small cabins

Put some words to pen and paper on it;

It's more than even Kinkaid could replicate.
It's warmer than the warmest of wood stoves.
It has more charisma than the grandest of orators,
more appeal than the most opulent edifice built.
Yet it's simpler than the simplest of abodes.
...all the while doing its modest magic
Turning a mason jar to a drinking glass,
a tuna can to an ash tray,
a wooden apple box to a cabinet,
a burlap bag to a slip cover,
favorite old clothes to attire of choice,
a stranger to an acquaintance,
an acquaintance to a friend,
a wife to a mistress,
a life....to living.



The one at the top of my other little creation captured me;

First a plane, then a train. A third of the UK's railways were ripped in in the 1960's & 70's. One enterprising couple bought and restored, Horsebridge Station. It's the most wonderful place, furthermore they have opened it to the public. We went to a wedding there. It was just fabulous.

Falling Water - Frank Lloyd Wright House

https://fallingwater.org/


Fallingwater is a house designed by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 in the Laurel Highlands of southwest Pennsylvania, about 70 miles (110 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. It is built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run in the Mill Run section of Stewart Township, Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The house was designed to serve as a weekend retreat for Liliane and Edgar J. Kaufmann, the owner of Pittsburgh's Kaufmann's Department Store.

After its completion, Time called Fallingwater Wright's "most beautiful job" and it is listed among Smithsonian's "Life List of 28 Places to See Before You Die". The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966.In 1991, members of the American Institute of Architects named Fallingwater the "best all-time work of American architecture" and in 2007, it was ranked 29th on the list of America's Favorite Architecture according to the AIA.

The house and seven other Wright constructions were inscribed as a World Heritage Site under the title, "The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright", in 2019.

In a small, sort of backwater city in northern central Calif, a young couple bought an old rail car and converted it into a homey restaurant that served old-fashion breakfasts and lunches until late afternoon, and then served upscale dinners until late evening. It really suited the place because about half the population was well-off retired folks and the other half definitely wasn't.
