Your Beautiful Home

It was the view, overlooking the Spokane River with the Spokane skyline in the distance, that sold Marcella Rose on her latest project: a little cottage a few blocks east of Downriver Golf Course.

No stranger to remodeling, after purchasing the house 15 months ago, Rose stripped out dark carpets and opened widows to sunlight and the view. Using soft color on the walls and fabrics as an accent, and furnishing the house with antiques, Rose brought period charm to the dated interior.

The previous owner installed a bench across the street, and Rose likes to pass the time relaxing there.

“I watch people walk, jog and walk their dogs,” Rose said. “And enjoy my view.”
