30 days and Counting!

I know I may be getting a little ahead of myself, but I truly think that within a month we'll be moving in! There are very few things left to do inside- finish the bamboo floors, a litle trim, a couple light fixtures, stair rail, mirrors, shower doors, and we're there!

On the outside we still need to get the back porch poured, paint the deck trim, install deck railings, and of course do the landscaping. I think the landscaping will have to wait until after we move in.





Jeff reminded me today that our work is just beginning. But what fun it will be to finally be here!







We haven't seen the house at night but Jim assures us that the inside spaces are very dramatic. I'm ready to bring my sleeping bag!

The Dobsons' visit to the Beach!

For months we have wanted to have our housemate Kate visit Camano on one of our weekend jaunts. This weekend proved to be the perfect opportunity. Kate's parents were visiting form Portland and there were some major developments, even since our last visit on Thursday.

Kate's sister, Sarah and brother-in- law, Jeff also came along. The smelt were running and the gulls were having a great time fishing in the shallows. Jeff and Kate's dad, Fred thoroughly enjoyed watching the activity from the upper deck, while I wandered around taking pictures and admiring all the work.



The built-ins are complete and the desk has been finished. I think we'll enjoy this office space.

the bench on the landing is a great place to rest-even without a cushion!

The ceiling fan in the master bedroom is fun to operate

The side entry is almost done too!

 I always surprise myself when these come out!

The countertops are a hit!

We call the guest bathroom countertop "Amy's Nugget" collection. In the mix are just a few of the pieces of sea glass she has collected over the years, along with a few choice pieces of shells from our forays to our favorite beaches. The countertops are gorgeous, and the photos, although good, don't really show the beauty of this work.

The kitchen countertops are almost done and are looking fabulous! I can't wait to see the completed surface with the backsplash!

The master bath countertop is lovely as well, relaxing and understated by comparison.
