Although i am currently in love with houses which have a country feel, twist of french and a bit of rustic, and heaps of white, i am still in love with what i refer to as classic American mid 1940s or post war modernism. I have no idea what it is really referred to, yet a brilliant original example is that of american architect Philip Johnson's Glass House.
The pictures above are of my favourite house of all time. It was designed by Natalie Raw, when she was only 24 years old for her families property at Lake Rotoiti in New Zealand. I saw it in Australian Vogue Living July/August 2006, which showcases what i think are more flattering images. It is the pavilion style, the flat simple roofs, black and the outdoors almost appearing as artwork as it provides such an amazing backdrop.

I like so many different styles, but this would be perfect for a little country house. I really like the basin below and the use of a chunk of timber. I'm sure i could get my hands on a chunk of timber easy. A trip to mum's farm, an old tree and a chainsaw would do the trick!
I don't know how practical baskets would be, from a cleaning perspective. Dust might be an issue; in the case of my house, my golden retrievers hair would be the issue. Yet they look brilliant. 
Interior design firm Fisher Weisman have pictured my perfect bath. I'm not a fan of asian furniture (as pictured behind), yet in this case i think it is perfect. But I'll just take the bath please!
