WE DID IT!!

March was full of painting, welding, finishing and move in. We have a host of people to thank for helping create this beautiful home on the river. Mainly, Alan, Peter, Sharon and Donna of Barley Pfeiffer Architects; Curtis and Kim Seebeck of Seebeck Construction; and Ed Martens of Ed Martens Interiors. Each of these fabulous folks helped us turn vision into reality. Thank you.

The island granite is waiting for additional support before final installation.


Looking great! Hoping to get the kitchen backsplash tile soon.



The granite looks great in the house. It's the color of the river.
