Come Inside

We have always loved antiques, collectables and heirlooms, so we wanted a home that was casual and warm, with a lived-in antique shop flare.

Among the heirlooms you will find lamps made from an Electrolux vacuum, an old boot and a even a coffeepot. Everywhere you look you'll discover knickknacks with an interesting story to tell. In the living room there is a bubbling plant-skirted fountain with a trumpet horn for a spout.

The wood that was used for our doors and cabinets was purchased from a building salvage yard in Phoenix. Hours upon hours of pulling nails, sanding, cutting and finishing brought out a delightful, warm feeling to each room in our home.

Our dining room set is an antique and has been in Tom's family since the early 1950's.

Many a fish fry have graced this table as it sat in a tiny cabin on Lake Minnetonka in Minnesota. If only the table could talk.
