Island Cottage Cozy
Here is a dream of mine that someone else is living out – for now…!
Gavin’s friend Jim, his wife and their deaf dog Sage bought a little weekend cottage retreat on Lummi Island.
Lummi is one of the San Juan’s – a little under a 2 hour drive from Seattle and about a 8 minute ferry ride.
When I heard Gavin was going to help Jim fix up the cottage this past Saturday/Sunday I begged him to take pictures and here are the beautiful results – thank you Gavin!!!! . After a “hard day’s work” (according to Gavin about 3 hours) it’s time for Gavin to have a glass of wine while Jim and Sage fish…
Of course I want to be on that beach manning the fire and grilling oysters or salmon or something- ANYTHING!!! This is why I moved to the Pacific Northwest afterall…
I love the ruggedness of the beach, you can just smell the salty ocean air…
Apparently Sage loves it too!

Here’s a shot of the outside of the house – you can see the proximity to the beach
A view from the front
Inside, an irresistible fireplace….I can smell the driftwood burning! And love love love the wainscoting!
In the kitchen, some local produce for a simple and perfect dinner…..
In case you were wondering if lavender grew at the beach (I know I was!) – the house next door
Gavin promises more pics and updates to the house on Lummi Island and I cannot wait!
In the meantime, save me a sip, we’ll be there before you know it!
BTW, we’re having a little technical problem here at CL so if you want to comment on this post just click on the post title!
And thanks again for the pics Gavin, they are gorgeous and tres cozy!
