We live colorful&dynamic lives and we decided to go with the "America's Cup" blue color for the exterior body and Ascot Blue for the trim both from the great ICI Dulux paints(www.icipaints.com)! The front door will be a Simpson door (www.simpsondoor.com). We will paint in Grenadier cherish like color.

We will have RBH 615(www.rbhsound.com) built-in speakers in the ceilings of the living/dining and the master bedroom(i.e. Pink Floyd ready house). We will have built-in CAT 5 wiring(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category_5_cable). We will warm our atmosphere with the www.heatnglo.com (Heat&Glow) gas fire place.

Painted 6 panel doors and moldings, lots of hardwood floors, Slab granite kitchen counters(Tan Brown color), Kitchen Island - Hardi-plank siding - Front yard landscaping.Kati chose Tile City Assissi porcelain tiles for the master and main baths(www.tilecity.net). We chose the Bourgeois Huntwood cabinets(Wood:Beech, Color:Plum Style:Chalet+Hamlet combo)- www.huntwood.com.
The house is A/C prewired. The Gas furnace is with the high tech Honeywell Pro4000 Theromostat(www.honeywell.com). Atrium(www.atrium.com) offsetting laminate glass sound proof windows.

Grandma Savka's term: Workers day May 1st celebrated at the bourgeois Ponti restaurant


















Grandmother Savka was our guest in Seattle from April 20th till May 20th taking care of Filip.
The biggest success at her term were solid foods: Yeah Filip started eating bananas, pears and papaya!
She enjoyed the time here walking browsing with Filip around the beatuful coast of lake Washington, and multiple shopping malls around.
