About the house
We kept the old house as we found it: green shutters, red-oxide floor, a ceiling fan with opinions. Then we put in a very good espresso machine.

A casement is a window that swings open on a hinge. Ours opens at half past seven and the light comes in in stripes through the shutters. Tea is brewed strong in the morning, coffee is pulled all day, and nobody hurries you out.
