Krista grew up in a very humble log home in Wonder Lake, IL. They both were enchanted by the impressive log homes being built by a then-23 year old local man who acquired his skills at a Minnesota school for Swedish Scribe method log crafting.
Krista, Phill and Krista's father did much of the work on he home once the log structure was fleshed out. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this structure and that made it very painful to think of selling when Krista's father passed on.
Krista's father is the one responsible for many of the antiques in the home. They were inherited from generations of German family members, and refinished by him while working at the Chicago firehouse. These decor items are so at home in the "cabin" that the owners can't picture them anywhere but there. Come see for yourself.
