tonight at the cabin

Meanwhile back at the Ranch...

I recently had the opportunity to go to the musical, OKLAHOMA,at the Gerding Theatre in Portland, Oregon.http://www.pcs.org/  It inspired me to blog about the guest house design project for my longtime client in the west hills above Skyline. This last spring, photographer Adrienne http://www.adriennesview.blogspot.com/  had a chance to photograph it finally. She was intrigued by the beauty of the property. It is truly a special home. The guest house is kind of special also. It was fun seeing her take photos. I remember her running down to gently greet the horses that were out in the fields. It was nice to see her joy in capturing these images.She is a delightful professional. I hope to work with her again.

   At the end of the summer my client had a huge barn dance. It was an event  that was truly the highlight  of the summer.

The Silver and turquoise bolo add a sense of humour to the skirt of this chair covered in a fabric from kravet.



Settle in for a crisp Autumn evening in front of this fireplace mantle.
