A breath of fresh air

Thank goodness we have some fairly warm days ahead in the weather forecast. This house could really use a breath of fresh air, and I can't wait to open up all the windows and get some clean spring air in here.

This time of year I think all houses start to get a bit of a funk about them after being closed up all winter. But when you add a flock of chickens to the mix, things get pretty funkified! I finally had to move the girls to our bathroom so that I could close the door and leave the exhaust fan running. Now when I ask Sadie, "Where are the baby chicks?" she goes roaring back to our bathroom and bonks her nose on the door!

I've always loved the idea of a house with a huge wall of glass that can be opened on a nice spring day to let the outdoors in. This house by Thomas de Cruz Architects and Designers, found via Good Measure, hits the nail on the head, I think!
