The Arbor



Abby riding Mike through the arbor. Lyle looked at several different arbor designs and then sat down and drew out what he wanted. I love what he came up with. His measurement skills amaze me--the pieces always magically fit together!


We love the arts and crafts light. The yellow stained glass creates a really cool glow at night.


Here is a photo of one of the stained glass windows, looking toward the guest house. Lyle found the windows at an antique shop here in Poulsbo and incorporated them into the design. He made cut-outs in the benches to match the diamond designs in the windows. We still need to cover up the wire and do some touch-ups.

Paperchase

The paperchase. I think this picture says it all.

The Barn

Lyle and his dad spent many long hours building this barn! They used ideas from a few different plans and came up with a great design. I love the sliding side door and the window boxes.


The hay storage loft can fit many bales and the kids love the pulley "ride" to the top.


This is the pasture-side view of the barn. I love the dutch door.
