The style and talent of artist Leah Anderson
are reflected in her Oregon coastal cottage

“We are so busy we forget to stop and reflect. We rarely spend
time being alone; walking through a museum; going for a quiet walk and really listening, we are not realizing the importance
these times of reflections can be. I want to take people to a place that helps them feel.” Leah Anderson

Her friend and the photographer
who shot our layout, Lara Blair, describes the imaginative style of Leah's design talent as "an architectural form
of candy. Pillowy, white, sweet candy that I want to savor for long periods of time."

Born
in British Guyana, South America, Leah gained a broad view of societies and cultures as her father’s exploits as an
adventurer meant living and traveling to new and exotic countries all over the world. After completing
her education, mostly in British schools, she spent twenty years dedicated to family and horses.
Clearly her appreciation for calm and serenity
is reflected in the decorating style which she displays in her comfortable cottage…the perfect space for her and her
husband, and their guests, to enjoy the relaxing tranquility Leah so cherishes.

This new cedar shake cottage looks as though
it's been here forever, and the spacious, open interior has a definite cottage feel, accented by copious use of wood
boards...floors, walls and ceilings...along with a soft, comforting white color scheme and creatively placed vintage pieces
that fill every nook and cranny.
