Well, the annual St of dreams kicks

time in the events 47 year history,

Love it. So fun to see the design trends and
all the cool new tech build into these homes.

Newburgh with a little sneak peek.
OK Bryant, you had a chance to look around.
What do you think?
It's a beautiful house.

country for the first time with this
Northwest natural St of dreams.
I'm here with the lady that designed
the inside of this wonderful
wonderful home Brittany Tiffany
and which design company are
you with Tiffany home design?
Thank you so much for joining

So as people come through this House,
what are they going to see this weekend?
They're going to see a beautiful
what I call rustic farmhouse out
in Oregon wine country of course,
which is amazing for people to come out.
Here it's kind of the little bit further
out for us for this Northwest Natural tour,
but we're excited to have people
come enjoy the beautiful views.
And it's a little early morning
here for the views right now,
but they're stunning and we have
a beautiful just casual more just
rustic farmhouse casual elegance
and you talked a lot about these
hardwood floors that are kind
of unique. Talk about that.
So the company we partnered with
was called Hewn and we have them
provide all of the beautiful
wood flooring all the beams.
Trimwork in the ceilings trimwork
the doors with our beautiful
hardware and all the exterior siding.
What are some of your favorite
things about the inside of this home?
Well, I think if you kind of notice
we really went for more of a textured
layered look and then I really
went a little overboard I think,
but stunning on the fixtures like these
beautiful light fixtures in the great
room and so is this sort
of a wine country theme.
You said that you know this
House is for entertaining.
It is. I really think that.
The person that's going to be
living in this home is going
to bring their friends, family,
enjoy this beautiful kitchen.
We also have a back kitchen
which is also called a scullery.
So I just think people are
going to come here.
Maybe go out wine tasting during the day.
Come back and enjoy a meal together
and the street of Dream starts July
23rd and goes till August 14th.
Correct, correct? And how do
people get tickets to this? You
can go online on the website

challenging this year so make

about what a Speakeasy is.
Well speakeasies, you know,
can be a lot of different things.
But whether you want to get together
with your friends and hang out,
or you know, Pacific office.
The reason why we set-up the House this
way is to be able to work from home.
Have employees.
Ever do video collaboration utilize the
technology computers commercial grade.
While Wi-Fi and all those types of things.
And Chris, what kind of technology
did you install in this house?
What are people going to

We did a lot of different things.
All the things that specific office
sells to our commercial partners.
We also now partnered with the
Street of Dreams and did this House
here and the House is over 6000
square feet. What are some of your
favorite features about this home?
I love this room. I love the fact
that you could literally work from
home and have all the conveniences
of you would in your office.
It's just a really cool idea and
love the technology in this house.
So the technology is.
Pretty much all upgraded.
How long did it take you guys
to install all this stuff?
Well, it's been an ongoing process.
We partnered with Lewis Audio and
and they did all the video in
the TV's the Big Theater room.
So I would say probably about it's
been gone going. But over 30 days
nice nice. So yes, Northwest Natural St

When is when it starts and
it goes until August 14th.
You can get your tickets on the street
of dreams website or you can get them

And Chris. Why should people come
to the street of dreams this year?
Well, I think
this is just an absolutely beautiful site.
The views all the different builders.
There's just a lot different things
to see here, and it's just it's
going to be a great experience.
All right? Thank you so much.
Chris Miller right here.
And yeah, come on out.
Guys Yam Hill County.
For the first time
Frank quickly for us. Thank you so much.
Take a look at the views that people
are going to see when they come up here
to the street of dreams in Newburgh.
And I'm here with Brett Howell.
He's with northwest natural,
so he'll tell us more.
About the event that starts Saturday,
so Bret the event starts on Saturday.
It opens at 10:00 AM and then
you guys have four houses in
Newberg and two in Mcminnville.
So let's talk about that a little bit. Yeah,
so Northwest natural has been the title
sponsor for the street of Dreams since 1976.
So this year we're really excited
to showcase Oregon wine country.
Obviously, you've seen the views already.
We're excited to be out here and we
think everybody else will be too.
And when people come through these homes,
what are they going to notice?
What are they going to see?
So they're going to see an array of
high efficiency natural gas appliances.
Each one of these homes is
going to feature natural gas
furnaces up to 98% efficiency,
as well as a number of fireplace
inserts that offer benefits such
as continuing to work in the event
of a power outage as well as Renee
tankless water heaters that come
with Hugo backup batteries that can
perform also when the power is out,
and what are some of your favorite
things about these homes? Brett, I,
I'm sure you've been through them.
What do you like about them
well? Being a gas man,
I have to say that my favorite
thing about these is the outdoor
living spaces where we're gonna
feature natural gas pizza ovens
as well as natural gas fireplaces
in the backyards as well.
And for people that have never been
to the street of dreams before,
tell us a little bit about the
event and what it is. Yeah,
so the event is designed to
showcase the latest in natural gas
technology and also showcase what
the builders can do with these homes.
I think when people come out
here what they're going to see
is an array of new technologies,
but also just how well we can showcase
beautiful Oregon wine country.
And with these homes,
and this house is 6700 and
6700 square feet, Nina Andrew,
and we're in the bonus room,
and Chandler is one of the
builders here in Chandler. Tell me,
tell us a little bit about this room.
Yeah, so this is the bonus room
is what we're calling it and that
features a 98 inch screen TV,
so not a not a bad spot for a movie night.
We also have a 65 inch screen
TV in here as well.
So yeah, multiple options.
Got a wet bar in here so this is my
one of my favorite parts of the house
and how many like rooms does
this house have? Chandler
this is a four bedroom 5 1/2 bathroom
house and it also features the
bonus room and the speakeasies.
And you were talking about these barn doors
right here that lead to the Speakeasy.
Yeah, so these are locally made
by John door and we wanted to
kind of give the illusion of
a of a hidden room so we did.
Did these barn doors to
slide into the Speakeasy.
Nice nice and you were talking a little bit.
About the challenges that come
with building a house in 2022,
talk about that a little
bit. Yeah, it's tough materials.
I mean, there was a lot of times
where we're getting things.
You know the same day they're
supposed to be installed,
which makes it a challenge.
Broken things in boxes.
So it was. It was a tough one
but but we made it through.
How long did it take to build this
home? We poured the foundation
the first week of April,
so normally on a House this size,
we don't want a year. And you know,
we're about 3 1/2 months so
you finished it pretty quick.
So that's that's amazing.
What are some of your other
favorite features of this home?
I would say the technology by
Pacific Office automation if
you want to work in your home.
This is this is the spot to do it.
Nice. Thanks so much.
