Whidbey Style
A dictionary definition of style ranges from the stuffy:
“The combination of distinctive features of
expression
or execution characterizing a particular
person, group or era.”
to the stark:
“A comfortable and elegant mode of existence.”
Whether style begins in minimalism or flamboyance,
on Whidbey it will eventually involve sand. When you live on
an island, it’s a good idea to plan for sand, whatever you're
doing. From the comfortable and elegant feel of the beach
between the toes,
to the gritty task of hosing down the kids’
clam digging boots, sand it a fact of Whidbey life.
Redecorating the
bathroom, choosing new shoes, getting a
haircut, putting in new
carpet, all trigger more thoughts of
maintenance the closer
one lives
to the beach.
The subtle colors of sand play into the decor of island
houses because sand
will always come home on a
teenager’s skim board, and the
dog’s feet, and that piece
of curiously gnarled driftwood to add to the mystique of life
beside the sea.
For a taste of Whidbey Style, and maybe get a little sand in
your hair, check out these annual Whidbey Island tours.
