I did a post for the WP challenge “Repurpose” to show how James had taken a really rough building and turned it into our “Bed and No Breakfast”, our Guest House.
You can read that post here:
This is one of the comments I received:
I also love your house. I don’t want to sound envious, but it’s perfect for the setting and I love the way it fits into the land, like a nest.

That’s just the guest house. The actual house James built almost 40 years ago is amazing. Talk about nestled into the land.
Hmm, another post brewing……..
So here is that brewed up response:
Before and after shots of our beloved Casa Esmeralda
Then, THIS happened! (view looking up from the Guest House)
I really wanted to retain the Porch Swing, our favorite wildlife viewing spot.
This end of the house is still a work in process but you can see the low windows the Turkeys visit for their vanity checks. My Grandsons are helping me create a rock garden with stones and shells from the beaches of the San Juan Islands!
The inside of the addition is not finished yet but is almost done outside, (still have to complete the upper deck….oh, and shore up the mine-shaft terraced gardens out in front of the house.)
So Marilyn and JoAnne and Ed, and Karuna, Linda, and Lisa and husband and whomever else is interested…make your reservation soon! (smiley face…winking face…hearts…geez, I really have to get some emojis!!)
Wow…. it sure has come a long way since it’s cabin days!
come visit!!
What a wonderful project! gorgeous setting, I can imagine what the early morning view must be like.
YES! And lots of space for large DOGS!!!
Wow, what a crazy transformation! I love the setting, too. So private and peaceful. I live in the suburbs and I absolutely hate it. I’m moving in! Haha
OK your room’s ready!!
