I like domestic architecture and have visited old houses belonging to everyday people in much of France and the UK.

There are places to read, write, draw and use computers scattered around everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I took the TV out of the living room and arranged this table so that the kids could sit round it and eat or draw yesterday.
