Simplicity

Live life simply. Relish loved ones. Break out in joy. Walk through this season graciously. These are statements to wind around ones heart. They must become the rhythm of our days.
If life rushes you, like me. You are often left longing for the simplicity of circumstances or thought. I think it is just that, we must live life in the moments. Drink in every moment this season, making each count.  I just found myself speaking up and telling myself to enjoy this minute, right now, though mundane, it is peaceful, and will soon be a memory.  So in case someone else hasn’t said it to you today…The season you are in is good!  No matter what emotion you are feeling right now about your position, it is good, bringing about what God wants in your life.

“This is day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:24

Now for a pictorial Wolf Lodge update.  Please don’t mind the explanations of colors and such, it is for those DIYers.

 

The drop down part of the great hall and the stair treads is made of local tamarack trees milled by a family mill outside of Spokane. They are both stained SW Ranch Oak and all white paint throughout the house is Beefy white by Rodda.

The travertine throughout the entry way was purchased by the pallet from home depot. We purchased 6 pallets for the great hall’s two floors. The color is a combination of classic and ivory.

Wilson, Max and Grandpa Wilson are working on strategically placing the rocks on the exterior of the back of the house. Once complete, we can build the deck, the last of our big jobs before the final inspection. You can see them through the third story windows! Yikes!

Tamarack treads, oak hand rail, fir door, wall color is Revere Pewter half cut.

The master suite has been softened with a touch of coronet trustworthy (color) carpet. 2000 sq ft of it that is! :0

The office/bedroom bath is almost finished. Another work of art by my bro, Dave Wilson.

Fir doors stained and finished by Wilson, stained SW Ranch Oak

The Chapel glass doors are installed on both the chapel and library. We purchased all our doors from Ugly Duck in Spokane.

The downstairs office/bedroom . Wilson has been a steady help since December. He is started back to college within the month, but will continue to live at home and help for one more semester.

Common upstairs area is carpeted with Mohawk carpet, Hope Mills Place.

Upstairs bedroom common area, carpeting makes all the difference in the world!

Back staircase. The floors and doors throughout the house are stained Ranch Oak by Sherwin Williams.

Back stairway is complete

The kitchen is coming along. The range cavity will be surrounded with stone and the white subway tile backsplash and finishing touches to the cabinetry should be complete within the month.

The white cabinets are a Rodda’s Beefy White. The sink counters are a brushed stainless steel, crafted by our next door neighbor.

Again the island is stained Sherwin Williams Ranch Oak and the white cabinets are a Rodda’s Beefy White. The granite is Viscon White.

The bar has a bit of finishing to do. The Viscon White granite is used again here.

Jared just about finished with the walk in refrigeration system.

Both doors are installed on the refrigerator, the cooling unit works like a charm. It got plenty of use over our big family fourth gathering. Shelving is the only thing left to do on the fridge and pantry.

The rock expanse on the back side of the house that is keeping our workers busy this month.

It’s a long way up there!

Jared has wrapped up the lighting throughout the house and is ready for the electrical inspection.
Our lights are turned on for you at all times!
