The original flat roofed cabin was actually built in the 1950\u2019s by Kristi&#8217;s grandpa and uncles. \u00a0In recent years, her father undertook a renovation, turning the bungalow into a two-story home with a beautiful A-frame insert.<\/p>\n<p>Kristi \u00a0enjoys many summer weekends at their family getaway, and hopes to hang her original sketch on location.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019ve painted various watercolor commissions for people capturing their special places and memories.
