About Us

We are Keith, Camille, and daughter Fiona.  We have been living in Anacortes for a few years.  Camille is a biologist, and I am currently a stay-at-home dad to Fiona.  We also have two dogs--Laurel and Lucy--and a cat named Finnegan.


Camille and I are originally from Canada.  I am from Vancouver, BC, and Camille is from Waterdown, Ontario.  Fiona was born here in Anacortes.

The decision to take on this major remodel project arose out of a need for more space.  Fiona has a lot of stuff, and needs room to move.  The current house just wasn't big enough.

We looked at several houses, but none quite met all of our criteria.  We wanted a large yard for kids and dogs to play, and with room for a garden. We wanted to be close to the heart of town to minimize our need to drive cars.  We wanted a craftsman style home.  And finally, we wanted something big enough to house a potentially growing family, and still be able to host guests from out of town.

The 'Project Facelift' house had the potential to offer us all these things, along with a great view, but it obviously needed a lot of work to turn it into our ideal family home.  But after extensive due dilligence, and lengthy discussions with multiple contractors, we decided to plow ahead with turning this rather unique, neglected property into our homestead.
