I’m interested in purchasing a copy of the Jan.-Feb. 2008 issue of Oregon Home. My husband and I have spent several wonderful evenings drinking good wine and watching beautiful sunsets from the house on your cover, Greg and Barbara Empson’s Gold Beach, Ore., home that John Harper designed and built (“Ocean’s Edge Modern”). About 10 years ago, we bought a property just outside of Gold Beach, and John was among the first to welcome us to the area. In fact, John has designed several parts of remodel projects at our own house.

I’d appreciate it if you’d let me know how to find this issue that’s of personal interest to my husband and me. Thank you.

—Sandra Shibata, Camas, Wash.

 

Editor Sheila De La Rosa replies: “Lucky you: You’ve not only experienced the Empson bear hug, but you’ve got your own piece of heaven nearby! Send me your mailing address and I’ll shoot you a complimentary copy of the issue.”

The eco-conscious have hung out their shingles all over town in converted warehouses, turn-of-the-century homes, and even old Maytag repair shops. From the reclaimed to the local, from the handmade to the sustainable, here are some of our new favorite places!
