Where we think the writing hut and raised beds will go. |

My writing hut/studio/strawbale/retreat
I can't wait to be writing from my little straw bale writing hut, looking out a low window to the raised beds that will replace that big chunk of pavement at the bottom of the driveway at our Cline Falls house. I can see a series of windows, some about hip height, with a sill just high enough for feet to rest, and maybe some longer, lower ones that let in the entire vision of the garden. I think I'll sit in a chair like a soft net, draped with a quilt. There'll be a desk, too, movable, for both writing and painting. I think I want a low or a sloped ceiling, so that it's cozy, with a green roof on top. There have to be other seating areas for writing visitors, maybe some kind of bench built into the wall, a futon, a hammock chair, just pillows on the floor? Only slippers will be allowed. How will I light it? We'll build shelves directly into the wall, for books and trinkets. There has to be some surface to which I can attach things, something better than cork board. Maybe I can free myself enough to regularly paint or write on the walls. I'll have a little broom for sweeping, plants, flowers, and herbs everywhere, and a dog bed for Siri. Wind chimes outside, maybe the bamboo ones. My own bird feeders. A beautiful door with tile outlining it. A little stoop, also tile. Perhaps a poem tucked into the bales. A friendly creative spirit up in the eaves. A bed loft? Definitely mobiles. A beautiful earthen floor. Maybe my musical instruments out, on the walls. What to do about shade?
