About Us


      


Recently... My Husband Tony has jumped on the OpendoorStudio Bandwagon so we are now in this together!

 We  fill our days with dreams of Door County!




Tony on our property in Bailey's Harbor!

Below 
 are some views of MY  DC dream house



 Spring 2012 we worked on our little vintage travel trailer... Currently Tony's dream house...
* a place Tony calls his cabin up north .

 It is currently sitting on our property on the north side of the garage/Barn/implement shed... 
and just within reach of our wireless modem.
He is a Happy Camper there on the weekends!

a full 10 feet of living space!
