Green Home Tour

I've never seen so many people happily take off their shoes. The Green Home Tour, put on by Whidbey Watershed Stewards has a great following. An amazing group of people interested in how they can live better and use less, how they can repair the land around their home, and how they can be active participants in the community they live in.


The Green Home Tour on Whidbey island took place this past weekend. Over 100 people toured the FrEdLey site of Fran Abel and Ed Anderson, designed by dbBrad. People had wonderful things to say and were fascinated by the minimalist architecture and lifestyles being presented. Though many people aren't ready to live in 870sf, most all the guests thought they could live here.


Popular topics were the Custom windows and Fleetwood doors supplied by Island Sash and Door, the landscaping by Fran Abel Landscape Design, and the recycled materials and contemporary design solutions of dbBrad. The pond was enjoyed by all, but most thought the stream was natural and wondered how we could build a house so close to it an existing stream.
