Meet the Homeowners

Paul and Deanna King love the small-town life in Hubbard but, with a large combined family, were looking for a bigger home and a nice piece of land. Finding something suitable in a town with a population of around 1500 presented Chip and Jo with quite the house-hunting challenge.

Joanna used antique pavers from Chicago for the kitchen backsplash and walls. The natural variation in the bricks and dark gray grout are a nice touch that augment the kitchen's rustic theme.
