The first day of the new year began as many days do…with a few chores… and though I couldn’t help much I DID notice how pretty the clean glasses looked in the kitchen… so we decided since the sun was shining we’d “roll” through Cutler City this morning to see what was afoot in the […]

After the Feast…
The Beach…in a dark and driving rain…a fire…leftovers (YUM) and the next day, sunshine… this really is such a beautiful place… a nap in the sunshine room, noting the reflections in things… Sunday a walk on Nelscott Beach… and an early supper at Mo’s…the time of year when the locals rule, and can get a […]
The Beach House
It seems impossible to believe this, but 20 years ago we bought this little beach house on Siletz Bay. We’ve tinkered with it a little bit, but mostly it has been an oasis of calm in our busy lives, a family place. I’m entertaining myself this week with some before and after photos…here’s how our […]

How to get to Cutler City
Nan turned me on to the Art House Co-op in Brooklyn last year and I’ve bought and sent in a couple of sketch books for their Sketchbook Project. But every week they have a free project…(one week it was to photograph your lunch at noon on a certain date and send them the photo so […]
Kitchen Transformation!
This is ABSOLUTELY the last fix-up project for the year…and the LAST time we ever paint a kitchen…we sincerely hope…. Phil was out at the beach and had two extra days…we had left-over subway tile…the rest is history. We’ve had the beach house for 20 years, the wall paper was old and stained then…the cupboards […]
The Fairy Lights…
The fairy lights needed some work…burned out lights, dusty…so I got some new lights, put all the “shades” on them, put them back in place and turned them on…MAGIC…
