Brick Wall Revealed

Under all that persimmon lumber, this stunning multi-colored brick was just waiting for her big debut! Every step we make towards welcoming our first guests continues to excite us as we watch this dream come true!

Paint and Other Conundrums

We have conflicting opinions on our persimmon wall. Do we take the risk and tear all the wood down? What if the brick behind leaves much to be desired? Do we install new lumber in its place?

The Birth of a New Dream

In everything we do, we seek to master the art of a high touch, luxurious experience that creates ripple effects within a small community by tapping into the core of what is most important. The human heart.
