About Us

This little dream of ours

​

the one with the space to create. To bring my ideas to fruition. To help others do just the same.

​

His dream to do something different. Fresh and new. To step out of the box of doing what he had always done before.

​

For both of us to be a bit more bold and brave and courageous, even when the timing might not seem right.

​

Our head tried to tell us no but our heart knew better. It kept whispering

yes. yes. yes.

And we couldn’t help but listen.

​

Greg’s job loss in October gifted us time. Greg became a caregiver for his father, I took on more work and that work began to expand. In March, when our brother-in-law just casually sent a building listing to us, I immediately sent it to my dear friend (and real estate agent) Jen and asked if we could go through it immediately. Not because I thought it would happen but something kept saying

 

yes.

yes.

yes.

 

and when we visited this “house of worship” I turned to Jen and said “I always told you I needed you to help me buy a church.”

​

It was not an easy process. A small step here, a small step there, plenty of hurdles and a leaps. But magical moments too. The ones that kept whispering

yes.

​

And here we are. Today. This space.

It is called The Origami House.

 

I found myself calling it that after our first visit. It felt like Origami to me. An odd enough building that felt just right.

​

Months later, we would see the blueprints and it became clear that I was not mistaken, the design of the roof is reminiscent of just that- one fold into another.

​

Creating origami is to take a simple piece of paper and to transform it. To be patience. To create something beautiful over time. To enjoy the process, one fold supporting another supporting another.

​

It sounds like a perfect metaphor.

We suppose it is a perfect metaphor.

 

There is so much more to say, even more to share, but we will leave this here. This idea.

The one that is becoming so you may have a place to help bring your own dreams to life too.
