Very pretty; it’s one of my favorite motifs.

I like Early American and Colonial style because it’s generally simple. utilitarian, but elegant; and doesn’t really drag you down into anything that is too exactly ‘time-and-place’.

I can enjoy looking at a lot of things - Victorian, Art Nouveau, Craftsman - even Atomic Age :-) - etc.

But I only want to LIVE with something more plain, centered in the everyday, and there must always be evocation of the natural world - which makes things timeless.

Despite living so nearby, I’ve never been to Williamsburg - it’s on my ‘bucket-list’.
