Our New Mountain Retreat

Jimmy and I just fell in love with Asheville and Lake Lure, NC, when we visited last April, so we decided to build  little mountain retreat of our own in the area.  It's only 2 bedrooms, but we're proud of it and it looks like the grandkids enjoy it.  






We saved a ton of money using DIY.  Jimmy did the framing.  I did all the decorating, painting, wall-papering, carpeting, wood floors, and tile-work.  It was fun buying all the furnishings to match at one time.  We love the rooftop play-yard and are confident that the grandkids won't do something stupid to cause bodily harm to them up there.  






We do have one little flaw in our design.  Can you spot it?
