Bringing out the holiday ornaments is Gina Ryan’s favorite part about decorating for the holidays. “We have ornaments from every place we have traveled. Every year our girls, (my husband) Jay and I get an ornament on St. Nick’s Day and on Christmas,” she says. “I love how the majority of the ornaments tell a story. Whether it be a place that we went, or something that the girls accomplished, or one of our hobbies. It always tells a story.”

Purchased in 2020, this 1800s cabin-turned-farmhouse sits atop a 50-acre property and serves as a gathering space for friends and family. After undergoing numerous renovations in the 1980s, the property was mainly painted drywall, laminate floors and Formica countertops. After purchasing the home, Paul and Frannie Erker were eager to expose the timber framing that lived beneath the drywall. Gary Meyer of G.K. Meyer Construction helped the Erkers peel back the cabin’s layers to expose the original timber frame construction, as well as the original hardwood floors and wood beam ceiling.

Their love of the great outdoors and ample outdoor living space drew the Bacich family to the lot they built their home on in 2014. “We wanted the house to be centered around the outdoor spaces, fall and fires,” says homeowner and mother Dana Bacich. When the home was first completed, the family’s three children were young, and Tim and Dana Bacich wanted them to be able to enjoy time outside and ride their bikes around the neighborhood.
