Knock On Wood

I simply love cottage style homes, especially those rustic and beautiful timber homes. No other types of material offer the warmth and charm that wood does. Wood adds a certain soul and character to the beauty of any home compared to those cold soulless concrete ones. Remember the TV show 'Little House On The Prairie'? They lived in this simple wooden house, even though small but it certainly feels homely, comforting and thoroughly inviting.

There really is no single word to express what I feel whenever I see a wood based post & beam in a house. It give me this feeling of being in this rural and tranquil place, surrounded by lush green forests and far from the hustle and bustle of that hectic city life. It's amazing how something as simple as this can affects one's moods.

As for me, if I really wanted to bask in the glory of a wooden cottage, I'll just take a vacation at one of the nearby Resorts, many of which offers lovely wooden cottages to stay in...
