Spending time in this artisans’ courtyard feels like going back to a time when life was simpler, days were spent carefree if you were blessed with fortune. I don’t believe the “old days” were any sweeter than now-a-days; I believe days and hours are sweet and comforting if one allows space for such time in one’s life. But this Bonnet House in Ft. Lauderdale took serious thought and work, to create from scratch; it took work so that it’s owners could dwell in an atmosphere of comfort and whimsy. All homes should have an aura that renews the soul. CLICK the image above for more information.
