Inside, an open plan and a loft ceiling create a sense of spaciousness in the 1,000-square-foot dwelling.

Neat! Look whatthey did with the books. Check out the woodstove, etc. Very MY style, except I'm not sure about the floor. Would have to see close up.

The original 950-square-foot home was built in the 1920s, and it was already a bit cozy. Walter and Blair built their own home toward the back of the property.

Builder Demyanovich along with his wife, Donna, and their granddaughter sit on the wraparound porch of the Salsa House. Demyanovich bought a truckload of damaged and twisted lumber and milled it into trim, but the siding, posts, beams and rafters are all new. The deck is cedar. Demyanovich designed and built the Salsa House with Delene as his superintendent, laborer and craftsperson, while the rest of the family served as the support crew.
