Geography and climate influence our home styles, and every region has an emotional center that captures its essence. Out in Moscow, Idaho, Mary Jane Butters has a farm that forms the center of a business aimed at selling back to us the good life that we have lost track of amidst the urban jungle...
Centered around an organic farm, and called, simply, Mary Jane's Farm, her business extends to a magazine (without ads), a line of products, newspaper columns, books, a school and a bed & breakfast that allows you to live on the farm and soak in all the goodness.
A cross between Martha Stewart and J. Morgan Puett, I was particularly interested in the lovely walled tents and out houses that they offer to guests. The style is assured and worth sharing. I urge you to look at her tour, peruse her website and check out the links I found to walled tents (should you be interested in these great temporary structures).

OK. So, I am dying to put a bed outside. Where can you find a mattress that won't mold and rot?
Woo-hoo! A post from the area in which I live - the very first on apartment therapy, I think :-)
And just so *you* can talk like a local, we pronounce it "Mos coe" instead of like "Mos cow," the more famous city in Russia.
The rolling hills in the 2nd picture make up this region, which is called the Palouse. And yes, it really does look like that here!
The University of Idaho and Washington State University are located here within 8 miles of each other - the Palouse is split by the Washington/Idaho border.
