House of the week
I've always liked looking at houses. As a real estate agent, I go through lots of properties. The difference is that now I try to look at them from my clients' perspective. I love it. But once in a while it is a treat to find a house I feel is special for myself. I get excited about architectural details, nice interiors, landscaping, views, the house's potential, you name it. So I'd like to feature 'House of the week' on my blog.

The first one in this series is this cabin in Glacier. But you can have it anywhere. I will explain. It was built in a factory and got moved. This isn't your typical "manufactured home". It truly is a new concept home built by Method homes, "a Builder of Prefabricated Dwellings with a Modern Approach to Green Homes". Isn't it fabulous?

This is how they move the house!
If you are dreaming of an environmentally friendly cabin in the woods but you have a difficult site to build, this might be your solution.

My teeny evergreen tree
I've been busy shopping and planting trees in our yard. I got this evergreen called Abies Koreana 'Aurea' . It's gorgeous as is and it bears insanely beautiful purple cones even at young age.
It's suppose to anchor the corner of our property so it needed to have good presence in size but the biggest size they had was still tiny. Oh well. I had to have it. If anyone has good potion or spell to make them big and strong, please let me know. Grow, tree, grow!
I still need a lot more trees to plant. My good friend Jen loves Cloud Mountain Farm in Everson and I haven't been there yet. If the weather is good I will finally check it out tomorrow. They are having 50% off sale on trees in burlap. Yipee!!! I can't wait! Who's coming with me?

Hot chocolate
We went out for a nature adventure walk with my kids to collect some treasures like leaves, broken branches, pine cones, etc. When we came back nothing sounded better than a cup of hot chocolate. Yum. I need to remind myself sometimes life is good with simple things.

Dreaming of a play house
I once had lots of fun making a playhouse from a cardboard box for my kids and they absolutely adored it.
Sadly, it was left outside one night and got rained on. I had to throw it away.
Now I'm dreaming of a play house that all of us can enjoy. One that I don't have to worry about getting wet and destroyed. When my kids grow out of it, perhaps I can use it as my pottery studio.
I'm crazy about Purestyle home Lauren's fun-shed.
Can you believe it is actually a Lowe's standard shed?
Here is Michael Devine's shed redone from another Lowe's standard shed.

Oh, how I wish that I could just say a few magic words and it would appear in my backyard.
Let's see... the first step would be convincing hubby that we NEED one. Wish me luck!

Silver Beach water front home
I showed this home to a client last Friday and I am in love with the house.
It's got 86' of water frontage. Almost every single room has a nice water view. My favorite, though, is this bathroom.
The only slight problem for me is its price tag of $1,395,000 (Worth it for some buyers, but I don't qualify).
So I settled for this piece of water front property in Winthrop. Only $21 per night.
I found a great contractor and workers free of charge to build a home.
I'm happy with what I've got for now :)

I bet you've seen this glass house going up from Boulevard Park if you are a Bellinghamster. I toured it today with the listing agent. I'm going to prepare advertising material for him as we expand our marketing scope to Asia.
What a place! As you enter the house, the ocean greets you and it feels like you are floating on the water. And the finishes on these condos are amazing. Too bad I didn't take any photos today but I promise I will have some next time.

It's a bargain because it's bank-owned. There are four units total in the building and three are available. I have no doubt that this will become a historic home in Bellingham.
