My husband and I enjoyed our comfortable stay at Julie's garden cottage while visiting our son and daughter-in-law in Columbia City. The cottage is in a great, wonderfully diverse neighborhood, and is lovely, inside and out. Every object in the cottage reflects Julie's discerning aesthetic and desire to create an enjoyable experience—from the twinkle lights to the bamboo flooring to the prints on the wall. And the garden is delightful—I enjoyed sitting on the deck in the mornings, smelling the lilacs. Julie is thoughtful and interesting. I enjoyed talking with her about her work and gardening.
