In our Sunday Seattle Times I enjoyed a story about the restoration of a home by Paul Gregutt and his wife. While I am an expert Seattle interior designer, Gregutt is a highly regarded wine writer. Appropriately, they found a 1,000-square-foot, rundown cottage in Eastern Washington, where the grapes are grown and most of the wineries are.

In Waitsburg — population 1,212 — Gregutt and his wife found a tumbledown cottage, originally built around 1875, that survived a series of unfortunate additions over the decades and a great deal of neglect.
With a local team of professionals working with them, this photo shows the progress after six months. New roof, new foundation, new windows, new porch. The fake siding was removed and they patched the original.
Here’s one of my favorite images… imagine this view during the seasons of the year.
