It's a long-standing tradition for friends of Visbeen Associates to pose in front of famous monuments or natural wonders as they traipse the globe wearing our logo. That sundial has been proudly displayed on backs everywhere, from the Pyramids at Giza to the shores of the Pacific. Wayne traveled to Oregon last weekend, and climbed to Multnomah Falls in the Columbia River Gorge - sporting his Visbeen gear, of course. We had to share the shot.

Sunsweet Hill

The rich history and classic appeal of the ever-popular Shingle style is apparent in this four-bedroom design. A columned porch off the efficient kitchen and nearby laundry offers a wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee, while the large screened porch is perfect for an alfresco meal. Other main floor features include the living room and den with two sided fireplace and a convenient bedroom off the entryway. Upstairs is the master bedroom, bunk room and two additional suites.

The dining room served as my home office and was almost never used for dining. With the exception of the unframed piece in the lower middle, I made all the wall art myself. The table was a dumpster find.

Our dining room is quite cramped at the moment... but it's very cozy nonetheless. In the Spring the dark furniture gets painted white & James' guitar, keyboard and all the records get transferred to the media room in the works.
