Bright Height

One of the things I love about our new house is how open and bright it is all the time. We have so much sunlight pouring in the windows and skylights in the living room that we hardly use any lights until it is fully dark outside.

The upstairs hallway is open to the living room which makes the living room feel enormously tall and the house feel very open. It also makes the dogs very confused when we throw a toy from down in the living room up to the upstairs hallway. The dogs have figured out to look up when we call them from upstairs, (dogs can look up) but they haven't quite figured out how to get where we are or where the toy goes when it disappears over the ledge.
















Here's a picture of our living room from above featuring Mme. Maddie posing for the camera. M. Bishop is, as usual, absent from the photo.
