 A natural
high
Mark and Karen Zeman have the perfect spot. Their Delafield home is
close to shopping and has easy access to the expressway, yet it is
hidden on top of a very large hill overlooking Lake Nagawicka.

 Raise the
roof
The view of Lake Michigan and the Mequon location were the selling
points of this property, but Mike and Loretta Kryshak’s vision was
far beyond the home’s 1985 design style.

Fantasy
league
While Milwaukee area homeowners look
forward to the warm breezes of spring and summer following one of the
toughest winters in recent memory, it’s time to consider nurturing a

Playing the
angles
The owners of this Germantown house wanted their new home to blend
Craftsman and Prairie Style architectural influences with modern
details and amenities. Rory Palubiski of Fein Design, Mequon, took

outdoor living spaces and a designated area for their beloved dogs.

It’s
all about the detail when you enter the home of Peggy Ann. Every

an artist eye and her Mukwonago home was her palette.

as well as the rising cost of heating our homes, most of us feel a
little twinge of guilt at pumping up our thermostats when things feel
a little chilly.

Southern
charmer
Susan and Michael Stoehr fell in love
with a River Hills property with a vintage 1840s home in need of
tender loving care. While the couple wanted to breathe new life into
the home and maintain the appeal of its history, it was beyond repair.
"They came to us with a unique site and old home, but this rehab
project was just too difficult," Lakeside Development Co.
architect Todd Rabidoux says.

Room of your
own
When walk-in closets appeared on the residential scene several
decades ago, it was a practical answer to closet clutter. The

glance. Everything had its place. Gone was the fear of opening the
closet door and enduring an explosion of purses, shoes, jackets and
suits.

Returning to
their roots
Dennis
and Kathy Wicht have lived in their historic Ernest Flagg home for 36

home, the couple’s interior design taste has adapted to a myriad of
style trends.

order to attract a diverse group of owners, and that they could reside
in.

Show time

when it comes to selling your home. Experts in home staging say your
home becomes a product the minute you list.
