The octagonal turrety bit looks cool. I want a non-rectangular room/turret. What is your view from those windows? Something cool or the rest of the neighborhood? (Which could, of course, be cool...)

Thanks, guys!

The octo-turret is in fact now a wonderfuly weird septagon. Originally, the room extended back to be a formal living room & dining area. Since we are buying new construction, we had the option of putting in a wall and closing it off so that now the septagon is going to be Kitsune's office. We are moving into the suburbs, so the view is not too exciting -- just the rest of the neighborhood.

it's a brand of antibiotic cream. Choco's house is sponsored by Walgreen's. The kitchen is aka the Band Aid Station, the bathroom is the Angel Soft Retreat and the bedroom.....

This was the excitement in our lives this year...

April 5th, 2010, a storm hit the PDX area and the top of a Douglas fir hit us.
No one was hurt, but it was scary.
