Nalichnik system notes

What the House Keeps

Frame the work before it speaks

Every screen begins with a carved border, so hierarchy arrives before decoration.

Let timber courses set the rhythm

Rows stack like hand-hewn logs: steady spacing, visible joints, no restless drift.

Keep warmth behind the blue

Pine and stove tones sit in reserve, lending depth without turning the page pale.

Use red as the household vow

A single folk-red mark names the promise; the rest stays blue, white, and measured.
