Well, the time has come for Robyn and I to truly start our lives together. The next phase of this is moving into our historic 1916 Craftsman house in Steilacoom.

Many of the historic homes in town have been named over the years and our house has been searching for a name for itself for some time now.

We're open for suggestions from the humorous to the serious. We're searching for something enduring that pays homage to this grand old house and the 3/4 acre of paradise upon which it sits.

I'll post some pics to help fuel ideas, but keep in mind that it has TOTALLY changed since any of these were taken. The interior has received a total makeover with warmer tones (except the flaming red kitchen) and the exterior is on it's way to becoming a beautiful shade of green...

 

Come again... ?

 

If anyone snapped any good pics while out here for BarneyCon, please feel free to post them in this thread.

 

Barney, what are some of the other names like?

Name the house.

 

No, that was a suggestion.

 

They run the gammut. Some houses are named after the families that have owned them since they were built...some are more "beach cottage" names...one in town is an old Southern mansion with four huge columns that's named "The Columns"...

One of the cuter ones is a pink house in town named Blinkbonnie. Not sure the significance, but the name just seems to fit.

Another in town that's down by the water is called Rolling Hills.

I don't really have anything particular in mind...just searching for inspiration...
