Wood beams, sturdy utilitarian chairs and walls that slide open to the outdoors let city slickers feel like they are roughing it.

Not all houses with light on opposite sides need be modern glass boxes. This fairly rustic house features rooms with sliding doors opening to the yard, opposite operable windows. With light on two sides of the dining room table, people are illuminated, and one can "read in detail the minute expressions that flash across people's faces," as Alexander and company assert.

layout of the house. where is south?

I like the Trestle Table I think. I like that chairs can fit all around it and legs don't get in the way. This one is pretty. Like the darker finish.

This room has clean lines but has that rustic chic look . Stay tuned for more table styles. Next week we'll be taking a look at the Trestle Table's Second Cousin, the Sawhorse Table.

The ceiling open to the rafters really adds a spacious feeling to this area. Nice to have wide eaves too.
