This is a long one…
The Fancy B got its address number plate on Friday. It was great to have a moment to add this important detail.
For the first time in a long while we were able to really relax and enjoy the experience of the B&B. We have been reflecting on the amazing journey that got us here.
Drury Designs Inc - All of the work they did not only in remodeling the house, but scrambling to help us get the 3rd floor stairway completed in record time. It’s great to have a partner that will push you to think differently and also really listen to understand your vision. It’s been a long journey with many resets and adjustments, but the team continued to move forward Pat, Matt, Dustin, Ethan, Ike, Steve, Andrew, Jake, Issac, Carlos, Devon, Jane and many others.
Stauber Electric - Mark, Issac, Eli, and many others for always being willing to find a solution to all the electrical craziness of an old house.
KOH Flooring- Ken did an amazing job on the floors restoring them to their original glory. It may be the most common compliment we get on the house.
Door County Interiors & Design- Gale Kezios helped us find solutions that really fit our space and the right style.
Tile and Stone Gallery - Tonie Becker has an amazing eye which helped us find solutions that worked within the budget and with the style of the house. The tile and carpet are the 2nd most common compliments we get!
Benjamin Heating and Cooling - Logan, Ben, and many more. They worked to find a new overall solution to heating and cooling which allowed many of the rooms to have their own controls without impacting the feel of an old house.
Wilco Cabinet Makers Inc. and Bay Area Granite & Marble- Brandon and many others The right combination of mixing with what we already had and creating an elevated look for all of the rooms.
Jim Cornell Plumbing LLC - thanks for coming up with the best solution for the house to ensure we have the right hot water supply and all the adjustments you did for the many different fixtures and faucets.
Door Landscape & Nursery - Kjerstin, Montana and many more. One of the last things we did and it really makes all the work inside feel connected.
