Flowers on the windowsill and summer rain outside. Doesn’t that instantly make you feel warm and safe?

I live in a Mid Century house that manages to be completely devoid of window sills – well maybe there are some but they are 4″ above the floor – not much use for flowers, or anything else for that matter.

The humble window sill is something that can easily be undervalued – until you find you don’t have any.  Where were modernists supposed to put their flower vases, or germinate their seeds? Or were we supposed to so highly evolved we just wouldn’t need all that messy nature any more?

Not modern enough?

    True dat – and people who live in them have unhappy cats :)

  2. And I would add that people who line their sills with glass vases probably don’t have cats either. Or their cats are more coordinated than mine!

  3. People who design houses without windowsills don’t have cats. :-)
