And her is the house belonging to the woman I know from a garden club. I did not get a really good shot of the main house. The photo in the lower left is the garage and I assume above-garage studio. The house sits to the left. There were always people standing in front of it, so I didn't photograph it. I LOVE the color of this house. It's actually similar to the color of our kitchen.

The photo on the bottom right is I think what they would consider the 'front' of their house as it faces the water. The house sits on a bluff above the sound facing west, so they get very nice sunsets. Anyway, to the right of the photo and not included in that shot is the cutest little Juliet balcony on the second floor.

The photo in the upper right is the chicken coop. Yes, you heard me right. Their chickens live in style! Okay, part of it is a garden shed (their shovels live in style too) but the right side is the chicken coop and then they have a covered chicken run that comes off the right of that. In front is a parterre. All very quaint and French/European like.

On the top left is a row of ceonothus and I don't know the name of the yellow plant, but I have some in a pot and I'm going to pair it with some ceonothus. It was a stunning combo.

They also had a really nice plant called Portugese Laurel (aka Prunus lusitanica for you Latin types) that is a tall evergreen bush with glossy leaves and currently covered in fragrant white blooms. Must have one of those as well.

What I really want, tho, is the house...
