At Home in the Water


Thanks to these images from Sunset magazine, I'm convinced I need to live on a houseboat. Commuting by kayak, beautiful views, getting rocked to sleep, a legitimate reason to wear boat shoes, and no grass to mow.

  6. I love the idea of living on the water and being able to move all around. I can just imagine all the activities that would be possible. It would be like your own little getaway!

  8. I saw this article in Sunset and was also super inspired. Lately I've been loving examples of people who are parenting in unconventional settings and I love this family's way of making it work. Really neat.

  10. This looks like such a cool place to live! I don't think I could do it year-round, but it'd be great as a summer home!

  14. I somehow missed this issue of Sunset but found it amongst my piles the other day. I like the idea of a houseboat. It's very Sleepless in Seattle.
