Take the Tour



our house
(complete with recycling bins out front)








As you enter, you are in an open Living Room/Bar/Dining/Kitchen




Off the dining area, there is a weird little long hallway with a wall of windows.
It is the sun room/office.
extra half bathspare bedroom



our bedroom



master bath (with cool clawfoot tub)





hallway/landing looking out to a small deck out back



utility room in the basement; master shelf builder, Josh

The basement is a big open room, so we've designated corners for various activities.


We may also use it as a gathering place for Lodgepole someday.




music corner
(coming soon...John Mayer and Coldplay concert posters)



library




camping stuff, bikes, etc.The art corner will also be in the basement,


but it's a pile of junk right now, so I'll spare you the picture.




And finally, our back yard



Thanks for taking the tour, friends!




It's a great house. Most of the houses in Portland are old, and have been remodeled. We are the first people to live in this one since it was re-done, so everything is nice and new. Our neighborhood is great - not far from a park, post office, bank and several grocery stores (Safeway and New Seasons which is a great local chain of natural food stores). Pretty weird to have all that in walking distance for us country-dwellers. But we are getting used to it!

Hey Laurel! Very cute house! It sounds like you guys moved to a very nice area of the NorthWest! That is great to have all that stuff within walking distance!

Hi Laurel- Aaron and I actually live in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho (about 8 hrs from Oregon) right now. We have been up here for almost 3yrs (in August) already and I can definitely relate to your anxiety feeling of watching the moving truck pull away to a completely new adventure. Don't worry...the "what have we done feeling" goes away. :)

Hang in there,
Juliane
