home to roost: home is wherever there is you.

a few words about miss chelsea elizabeth...

she likes: making kites, dancing in the rain, adventures, little-while friends, letters, whole-leaf tea, crayons, bare feet, jumping in rivers/streams/creeks/waterfalls, language, catching the clock as it changes numbers, sleepovers, trains (big or small), cuddling & waking up before the sun rises, among other random things.

oregon-born, seattle-raised, bellingham-bred and franco-refined, she had moved back to the states from her affairs across the atlantic & now resides in columbia city with french husband & love of her life rémy. they spend most of their time taming the garden, taking care of their three chickens & two cats, and preparing the urban homestead for a new little chick of their own.

home is wherever there is you.

One of my dearest friends in France sent me a letter which I happily received today and she mentioned that I haven't shared any decent photos of our new digs. We moved to our perfect little oasis in Columbia City a little over a month ago and are so happy it makes me giddy!!! Since I can remember we've always had this magical wishlist in our heads of what we would ideally like in a place to call home, and we try to check as many off the list we can when we look at prospective places.

The list:

A fireplace
Hardwood floors
A decent kitchen
A "real" yard/garden (this can be interpreted a thousand ways, of course)
Close to work
Good walking score
Nice neighbors/community

Well, my friends, this place takes the cake! Not only does it fulfill every item on our wishlist, but it is so much more! It has amazing energy and I think it's safe to say we will both be very happy here for some time.

As promised, here are the chez Coutarel photos!
