Trip up North

We had the awesome opportunity to take a quick trip up to La Grande, Oregon last week to see our good friends the Lukes.  They rent the MOST AMAZING HOUSE you ever did see/set foot in.  I was in awe the entire weekend at all the fun features, wallpaper and little “extra’s” Heather has added with all her style and skill:)  Here’s a quick trip through pictures…
039THE house.  Built in the late 1800’s, it was so fun to imagine the people and experiences that had originated there.  There are even a few attics that have not  been frequented in a while…kind of eerie to even think of what’s up there!018

Not scrimping on details, almost every doorway throughout the house had 6” molding and a stained glass window above it.  The door knobs, very ornate and obviously hand-crafted. And check out the incredible wrapped staircase.  A little scary at times, but SO amazing.  Also, every inch of every wall had a different wallpaper – most cool, some not so…



The Master Bedroom right around the corner and to the left of the front room.  Separated by huge ceiling-to-floor pocket doors.  Heather re-finished the awesome dresser on the wall.  Amazing.

Top 5 favorite things about it all…
1. We got to go on a date without the kids
2. Heather and I spent almost 4 hours shopping at the local thrift stores and antique shops without kids
3. We played games/visited well into every night
4.  The kids got to play/sleep with their best friends around the clock
5. Ate delicious food.
We love you Luke family!  We’ll never find better friends – thanks for the fun visit!!
